No seriously. If you lay your elbow down, you gotta lift it to move your mouse down. If you lay your forearm down, you gotta lift it to move your mouse down. If you move your mouse down with your fingers, it’s awkward as heck.
And you can’t constantly keep lifting your arm - it’s taxing. How do you even move your arm?
Same problem for me m8
I move my arm most of the time. But there are a lot of players who do what is called wrist playing. Where they have there dpi set ten million and only move the mouse with their hand from the wrist. Btw if you’re getting tired from using your arm I don’t think the mouse is the issue
The same can be said for a controller… personally I find it really awkward but I’m part of the pc master race so git his skrub ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=5" ":stuck_out_tongue:")
Make sure you have a large enough surface area to move your mouse.
Pro’s recommend you use your “whole arm” to move your mouse to aim, but in reality, I think most people rest their elbow on a point on their desk and move the mouse from there.
Wrist movement should only be used for very small/refined movements, but avoid using your wrist entirely for aiming, your wrist has a very limited range of movement compared to your forearm from the elbow.
Setting DPI and sensitivity is important. Too sensitive and your aim is going to be all jittery, too low and you’ll have to make exaggerated movements to move your aim.
You get used to it. I’m on the computer usually 12+ hour a day with just wrist and 1/5 of my forearm on the table. Rest of the arm is in the air.
Bro, tank main here. You gotta lift! 
The same way you move your legs. Use your muscles.
No offense dude, but did you just copypaste this? Had nothing to do with the questions I asked. :b
Well, I kind of got in the habit of aiming with my whole arm anyway so it never seemed like much of a problem to me.
My arm isn’t on my desk. My wrist is on the edge of the mousepad/desk, giving me mobility in any direction. I’m a wrist aiming person, my arm doesn’t move much.
My mousepad is literally 41 by 40 cm lol
I’ve been a wrist aimer, but the sens it requires to do up/down aiming just makes everything too jittery.
Sucks to start learning a new style after 20 years of gaming, but just so done with awkward feels.
edit: ps. how do you quote on the new forums… I can’t find a button for it.
So after 20 years you don’t know how to use your mouse? Please clear that up
I have the same problem. But the issue is that I play this game on a game center & that place doesn’t support arm aimer as the desks doesn’t have enough space for arm.
Just moved over from console I’m guessing?
I get you, fam. I only recently started PC gaming, its a little different for me haha. I guess just try out different things if it causes problems?

not move my elbow down, but to the side. but i have to adjust my wrist also, or else my aim goes diagonally down from right to left.
Thanks.
No, I didn’t come from console. I have “decent” aim, sometimes even good, I hover around plat/diamond in overwatch, but it just feels awkward, my hand not being supported enough, my wrist bending too much…
So that’s why I’m asking these simple, but surprisingly difficult to answer questions. :b
Practice! If you’re struggling, I believe in you! 
You’ll find your comfort zone and excel if you really want to!
My aim is horrid, so probably don’t take advice from me, but I usually just shift down my hand. Then again, my mouse is too small for my hands so that could be why I can.
