My aim and mouse movement feels off at the moment

Hey guys, recently I’ve been aiming fine but the way I aim just feels super off, my sens is 9.5 with 400dpi btw. I don’t really know how to explain it, I’m not bad it’s just that I’m weirdly scared of moving my mouse to 180 or flick, I have this kind of “blockage” in my brain. I’ve never changed my sens and It happens to me sometimes but just wanted to share it this time. My mouse pad is big, no problem with that, my brain just doesn’t want to turn around fast for some reason, It feels like I’m scared of breaking my mouse or hitting something, idk it’s just very odd and If you have the same problem please share it here :wink:

I have bashed my hands millions of times on the edges of the table so I dunno man.

Same issue here and for me it’s because I’m stoned most of the time so some games I space out and refuse to turn around as Lucio, you can imagine what people say about me when it happens…

I think it’s just practice, practice and more practice.

Same problem! But mine was a phobia that emerged after countless times that I’ve banged my hand into the side of my sharp metal Corsair keyboard. Not only did my mouse take damage but sometimes so did my hand!!

What helped was getting a smaller keyboard (they’re literally 1/3 the size of a normal one and much lighter). It’s hard for me to hit it even if I tried!

What also helps is warming up by doing large circles with your character in the practice range and forcing yourself to practice 90, 180 and 360 flicks/turns (you can even practice in spawn before the match starts).

Also ‘getting your head into the game’ helps because you’ll be emerged in what your character is doing and worry less about what MIGHT happen to your hand/mouse in the physical world. I find blasting music while I warm up helps a lot.

Basically: smaller keyboard, collision objects moved further away to make you feel less cramped for space, and force your body to get used to those movements so that it realizes it WONT collide with anything even when doing flicks and sharp turns!

Good luck! I hope my methods help you a little just as they helped me :slight_smile:

I don’t really need to practice because I usually just do it, but when this happens it just disappears for a week

Know exactly the feeling you’re talking about. I used to have something similar when I first started playing computer games in general. I was always afraid of dropping the mouse off the desk. Small desk, and this was back when computers were very expensive for very little power and besides, I was a kid so it was the family computer. Anyway, the only real way I found to cure it was a ‘warm up’ session of moving my mouse in all directions around my play area randomly for a bit before each game. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast. But when doing it, I focused on how far I could move my mouse each time before having to change directions (think of the old screen savers where the windows logo would bounce around the screen, like that)

These are some great tips I will try them all. I’ll probably buy a 60% keyboard on Christmas and see if It changes anything, thanks so much :slight_smile:
