Wondering how to adjust sensitivity settings in Hyper Light Breaker? In a game where quick reflexes and precision timing are more crucial than ever, customizing the controls to suit your preferences is key. Here’s everything you need to know.
How To Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker
Currently, there is no built-in option to adjust sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker. This is a surprising omission for any game, even one in Early Access, though it does signal that a future update will likely address the issue. In fact, the developers at Heart Machine have confirmed via Bluesky that the team is working on a fix for this, along with other performance and accessibility improvements.
That’s excellent news, and it might be worth holding off until the fix arrives. Several other issues are also expected to be resolved in the coming weeks. While our full review isn't out yet, the game clearly needs a few tweaks. Still, if you're eager to dive into Hyper Light Breaker and adjust sensitivity right away, here are a few workarounds.
If you're playing with a mouse and keyboard, you're in luck. You can increase your mouse DPI—either through hardware settings or software—to effectively raise sensitivity in-game. Just remember, this change applies system-wide, so your cursor will feel much faster during regular computer use.

For controller players using DS4 software, you can adjust joystick sensitivity directly within the program. These settings will carry over into the game. You also have the option to configure the right joystick as a mouse stick and tweak its sensitivity as described earlier.
A more advanced method, shared on the Steam forums, requires some technical know-how. Instead of detailing the steps here, we recommend following the linked post by ErkBirk. You'll need to access and modify game files via the Windows Run Command—a process that may not be suitable for everyone. If that sounds too involved, waiting for the official update is your best bet.
And that’s how you can adjust sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker.
Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
