I have lowered my sens from 6 ingame 800 dpi to 2.18 400 dpi. I lowered it AGAIN to 1.6 400 DPI. Thing is, I can not for the life of me do a 180 in any reasonable speed. Is this a problem?

Could probably go for around 150 degrees . Let's be realistic, how many times are you going to 180 and win the 1v1 duel with the guy flanking you? Probably not many.
I would care more about my accuracy than being able to 180. If you feel comfortable and accurate at your current sens, I'd say not to worry about it.
No need. If they are beind you youre dead anyways. Just set it somewhere between 1-3 at 400 and get used to it
do not listen to this guy ^
Whats wrong with my post? Is your sens higher or lower then 1 or 3 at 400dpi
No need. If they are beind you youre dead anyways
^ This is so wrong
maybe at the low levels if they cant aim and you can easily outaim enemies. But how many times do pros 180 and get the kill?
I played at 1.6 sens and 400 dpi for a long time and it was perfectly fine. Beeing able to do a 180 is not what CS is about. It's about how you attack the corners with grenades or together with your teammates.
Playing at 1.6 and 400 dpi really forces you to think about your mouse handling, there is no more room for looking around without lifting your mouse directly afterwards and place it to the original position again.
These 180's might work sometimes in mm, but the higher skill the competition, the more likely it is, that you die before you kill him.
After playing with it for half a year, I changed it to 2 sens at 400 dpi. I noticed that my accuracy with normal aiming improved a lot as well as my flickshots, so I made it a bit higher again.
I play 1.6 @ 400. For the time being it is really the god sens for me. As long as you don't try to be an entry fragger running out into the middle of site, flinging your mouse everywhere you'll be fine. In fact you can still entry if you want, as long as you do it slow and methodically like Olofmeister.
As for the 180s, it's no big deal. You almost never have to do them during a gun fight. The only time it's annoying is for general movement, when you have to back out of an area or some such.
I play at 400 dpi 1.8 and can go farther than 180 when I drag my mouse across my mouse pad.
Being able to 180 is usually desired for entry fraggers. most people tell you that you should 180 from one end of pad to the other end of pad. Realistically, you're going to be re-centering your mouse a lot while you play, so I base my movements off the center of the pad. So I try to make sure I can do close to a 180 from center to edge, rather than edge to edge.
Since I play with low DPi and low sens, I had to get a 2-foot mouse pad to compensate for the lower sens/dpi. Most pros don't use a pad as wide as mine, usually due to limited amount of desk space at tournaments, but this comes down to personal preference, and what feels comfortable for you. Also, whatever combination of mouse/sens/dpi provides you with the highest level of success, is what you should stick to and use that as a platform to build your muscle memory from.
One trick you can try if you use low sense like me, is if you have to flick for a 180 shot, you can strafe in the opposite direction while you are turning. This will change your pov and artificially widen your arc, giving you a few extra pixels on your 180 flick before you run out of pad space. Obviously shooting while moving is usually bad, so you may want to practice this for awhile offline until it feels comfortable. You just want to strafe in the opposite direction for maybe a full second or so, but this will vary based on your Dpi/sens. Ideally though, you just want a bigger mouse pad if you are struggling to 180 flick at your chosen dpi/sens.
Just use a low sens that you're comfortable at.
hit up dat 800dpi 0.85 sens
I remember hearing a long time ago. drag your mouse from end of the mousepad to the other and you should be able to do a 180.
works for me
I did that. But realistically if you were well flanked it's hard to move your mouse all the way to one side, flick it to the other and start aiming at them with a large mousepad like the one I have
id say i probably do a bit more than a 180.
But flicking from one side of pad to nearly the other side is more than enough to flick around and kill a guy.
Whatever sens is comfortable is ideal
