AB  - <p>Mouse sensitivity is one of the most important in-game performance factors in First Person Shooter (FPS) and Third Person Shooter (TPS) videogames. The only source of information about how to optimize it, is the professional players’ own experience. Even though empirical information need to be considered, scientific investigation is important to be proactive and therefore anticipate players’ needs. However, mouse sensitivity in esports has not been deeply explored by researchers neither to improve performance nor either to prevent players’ injuries. Nevertheless, other research fields have already brought some interesting information about computer mouse effects on health and performance. Computer mouse use has an impact on upper limb muscular activity and particularly on upper trapezius muscles, tendons overuse, proprioception, upper limb motricity, muscular fatigue, sensory motor control, and posture. Finally, these findings show that ergonomics and upper trapezius physical conditioning are needed to be a performant and healthy esports athlete.</p>
