I love how high quality your videos consistently are. Especially for the topics you cover, truly a one of a kind channel in the counter strike base. Keep up the work

[@NaToSaphiX]

Loved the video and I learnt a lot for sure One thing I do wanna say is that lurkers (in CS) tend to have lower sensitivities. They are typically holding more angles and due to the nature of their playstyle might end up with more long range duels than most players. On top of this, a succesful lurker will get a good timing often, which gets an advantage from low sens, as you will more rarely miss someone in the back or have a high time to kill if you are a low sensitivity player.

[@roseflows6585]

low sens is an advantage period, not just for lurkers. precision and accuracy matter an absolute asston in this game. you don't have a high time to kill as a low sens player either, you have a high ttk if you miss a lot of shots. a low sens player can flick just as fast and way more accurate than a high sens player. i would know. i used to be a high sens. and even nowadays, in spite of having nearly no mouse room, i still play low sens.

[@TheShizzlemop]

yes, he said that in the video. astute observation

[@ThemLowkeyyBeats1]

[@denzelnatha9075]

Another good topic about aim to cover is the use of aim trainers like aim labs or koovaks. I am using and saw significative improvement on my raw aim

[@oparysh]

before queuing, I always play aimlabs for atleast 15 minutes, then I kill like 100 bots to practice my counter strafing and I'm good to go if i haven't played for a while, I add like 30 minutes of retakes or walking on empty maps

[@samnsamole9448]

I personally found not much improvement, I think aim trainer is good for either new players or very advanced players, or if you changed your setup/peripherals. Coming back and using it I found myself getting outperformed by pretty much all my friends who just pick up and play, or not really standing out. What's much, much more important is understanding the mechanics of the guns you're using and how to get bullets to land where you want, that matters way more than just aim. This means playing with dynamic crosshair with outer cross as well, you need to be able to see what is happening to your gun at any moment. Understanding the massive recoil timer on pistols, for example, is important. Learning the best firing habits for each of the guns, which means using sv_showimpacts 1 and shooting bullets into a wall at long distance, medium distance. Keep firing at the wall until you are comfortable with making the bullets land in the smallest possible area. The relationship between your movement and the accuracy penalty/recoil is so much more important than how good your aim is. It allows you to position better, make better peeks, and make better decisions in firefights.

[@K..C]

I've played quite a few competitive FPS games in my time but have never once bothered with aim trainers, personally, I'd rather just boot up a quick game and practice playing the game then doing drills in an aim trainer. The closest thing I've done to aim trainers is practicing and focusing either on flicks or tracking depending on what game I'm playing or role I'm playing. TLDR; random rant about how I don't use aim trainers and I think just playing more games is better for me, I'm a firm believer that practice in a real setting is better than isolated training in most cases

[@ajbaratta1999]

@@K..C i agree with you id rather dive into a casual or dm to get warmed up. The scenarios are real and people are actually shooting back.

[@68plus1.]

honestly i dont really believe in aim trainers, rather playing aggressively and trying to hit heads in game would be a much better approach, making the game itself a kind of aim trainer instead. because from aim trainer to the actual game, the change of environment, the setting, all the different things that you need to be aware of etc makes a lot of difference in aiming well

20cm space, cant use my arm at all. 1600 edpi is the only way for me to do consistent moviments with little cost over my accuracy

[@oparysh]

I'm 100% agree about poster check, because nothing is more important then health, but I keep my monitor close so I can see more and be more focused but about sens and other settings - it's really personal, even the crosshair. It all depends on the goals a player is aiming for. I'm always looking for accurate, precise aim, so I keep my sens around 800 edpi for consistent aim and decent arm movement (to balance my wrist and forearm movement). I also use small crosshairs most of the time so I can more easily 1deag people if it's needed. My best advice - change your settings to the most comfortable and healthy and NEVER change it! If you feel that your sens is low today, don't change it, let it be like that. Focus on helping team instead of changing it for 0.01. To be consistent you must have consistent environment! Maybe you can change crosshair sometimes but it's more of a bad habit rather than a need change (for me atleast). I would like to hear different opinions on this topic though!

[@WaTzu]

agreed, this video is mostly an exploration of setup rather than an actual guide

[@andyngdz]

Totally agreed, when you're ok with a sens, just stick with it then it becomes your muscle memory

that works for a lot of people since crosshair placement usually beats out raw aim, but some prefer a flashier playstyle like a m0nesy or a tenz, and you it's hard to get that zoomer playstyle without training

this is a great video! As a Radiant valorant player (ex csgo player) the video is really interesting. I have a very fast and aggressive playstyle in that game, and everything aligns exactly with how you say. I always play entry, for me my aim is about speed, while admittedly being a bit less precise in longer range. The "doing more 1v1s on 1v1 servers" is actually really good advice for me. I think ill definetly go back to playing cs again just for 1v1 servers alone. I think this will help me tremendously to perfect and finetune my aim. Loved the video. You should upload more videos like this one. I'll be watching them all!

[@rasputin7633]

Good video. I completely agree about not over adjusting your sensitivity, but making physical adjustments. I see pros and former pros on twitch adjust their IGS multiple times per match, or constantly changing resolution, which effects sensitivity. Just pick what feels natural to you, not what a pro is currently using. Remember, you're a unique person, you're not a carbon copy of s1mple. Find your playstyle and stick to it. 95% of the time, the reason you die is placement and in game awareness and pacing. That's what we all should be trying to master as CS players.

Okay so as someone who's both been playing cs for nearly a decade and reached a relatively high level in aim trainers. Im going to go through this in bits Posture bit is fine, don't see any real issues here. Mouse grip section, everyone is actually holding their mouse differently, it doesn't matter that much especially in a game like cs where crosshair placement is far more important than aim. Thank god no mention of muscle memory or advising against changing sens

[@Codec264]

I mean as much as "muscle memory" is a bad term and innacurate, any change to your setup will result in a period of adjustment I just swapped from a soft pad to a glass pad and despite having the same sensitivity, my accuracy is very different because of the dramatically different friction I'm tending to flick too far due to the much lower friciton, but my fine aim is more controlled/precise because there's less friction to overcome It's not muscle memory, it's just practice but it's absolutely relevent

One important thing to mention is no matter what type of player you are, you need to reach the bare minimum requirement of crosshair placement, aim, and game sense to improve. You shouldn’t focus all on one thing and purposefully lack in areas you need to work on.

[@shoulderoforion115]

in overwatch even the pros play at 800 dpi 6 sense, which is low. almost two whole swipes on a medium mouse pad to do a 360. which i find fascinating, because you need to be able to turn around quicker in that game than most games. As the pinned comment said, no need to overcomplicate, just go with what the pros use, which is often the default settings with small changes for ADS and specific movement heavy heros.

[@Linus-mp4vn]

It all comes down to preferance. Find a sense you like and stick with it. In the end it is muscle memory that allows you to hit shots, and if you change your sense now and then your muscle memory wont improve.

[@plerhz]

Here's a tip: Keep your set up clean. Mousepad is essential to be clean, mouse, keyboard and hands not to be sticky or greasy. That gives you like +10% bonus accuracy lol. Also I find it perfect if your torso and legs are both angled 90 degrees (basically your chair supporting the your back fully so you don't have to tighten any muscles). If possible try not to aim with only your hand and wrist on the mousepad while your forearm and elbow are afloat. I find it an unnecessary extra struggle for controlling your mouse. There are some other small details that could potentially improve your gaming experience overall, such as letting some fresh air in, walking around your house/apartment to circulate your blood a bit (this helps with cold hands and feet in the winter), not being sleepy, thirsty or hungry, having done all assignments you have left for the day to reduce stress or the idea of incompletion. There are so many factors that can impact your gameplay not only physically, but mentally too, that it's difficult to even list all of them, but essentially I think the ones I mentioned DO matter much or less when playing game that requires instantly decisive actions such as Counter Strike.

[@BEN-ys6gu]

I'd like to share that I started out cs with very limited space, a very high sens (higher than woxic) and all wrist aiming (basically my wrist was able to cover the horizontal space available, so no need for arm movement). When I got a better setup with a big mousepad I tried lowering my sens, but the avg pro sens still seemed absolutely nuts to me to the point of unplayable, even simple's sens. The biggest problem was that I was f-ing up my wrist pretty bad when trying lower sens bc I was still using wrist to aim and that wasn't something easy to fix. Eventually, after like 2 years and a desk and chair upgrade, I adapted slowly to a better aiming style and posture, less wrist motion, now I feel most comfortable with 1200 edpi (~ s1mple sens) TL;DR: 1. Learning to aim differently can take even years 2. Mousepad size, chair, desk are important for posture 3. Wrist aiming with low sens can destroy your wrist fast

[@FPSkazuto]

What about wrist aiming with medium/high sens? I find myself use wrist for aim and arm for 180 and such

[@BEN-ys6gu]

@@FPSkazuto I do that as well, but I think it's important to learn control the motion comfortably. When I abruptly lowered my sens, I think I was just flicking too hard with my wrist and trying to push them out of their range of motion (which is pretty tight). But yeah, wrist aiming in general isn't bad, it's just dangerous if done wrong. Also, if you experience pain make sure your posture is comfortable, for example your elbow is not below desk surface (I had this problem, my hand was bent downwards and that's not good for the wrist)

[@steakwilliams4448]

Excellent video. Playing CS made me realize that i shouldn't play pc games with my wrist pinned to the desk. Sure it's comfortable, but playing very high sensitivity with the range of movement from your wrist vs low sense with range of movement of your entire arm is just night and day.

[@dmitrykim3096]

Muscle memory works better for low sensitivity, as you use more muscles - whole arm, if you have a high sensitivity - you are using mostly a wrist, you have to practice really hard otherwise your aiming can drop.

Dude I was using 6 to 8k when I came back to go before CS2 launched. I don't know how you consistently hit shit at all. It's like any move of the mouse is akin to incremental movements on a controller; insane flicks but lack of control. Not criticizing because it has taken me some time to ramp it down (I'm at like 900 edpi closer to where I was at dmg le 5 years ago) At first (around 2.5 to 4k) I really enjoyed being able to flick across the screen considering my hands are not what they used to be. I have a friend who plays at a high level in FPS games with a very high sens so I definitely see your point.

[@retagainez]

As somebody who has W+M1'd to global with a p90 every round for 10+ matches straight, I agree that aiming is not that important. I guess we can analyze muscles (shoulder & bicep), grip styles, posture, etc. But it's horse doo-doo. You don't select whether you do one or the other, you use both to combine into one movement. A variation of palm grip (and occasional fingertip) is simply best because you're not fighting against gravity as much as other grips, but just like with analyzing muscle usage, players can use numerous grips interchangeably without thinking about it. Also, mice nowadays are very very good, I remember playing with one of the worst microsoft mice you could get. I switched to deathadder and boy was it night-and-day. These days you don't need Razer, you can get literally any $20-$30 mouse and its fine. Aiming style doesn't really affect performance at anything below top 1%. You can spray and pray without any sort of aim at ranks below that and generally kill people. What does matter is positioning, knowledge, game sense, your teammates, perhaps even movement (this is a mechanical skill like aiming, but its much easier to control and more important since it indirectly affects accuracy), just about everything else that's not mechanical. I briefly skimmed over game sense. It might be presented as deceptively less important, but it is the most important and I agree with what the video says about it generally. Things like having a generally psychological understanding of your opponent based on the early round behaviors that you pick up on round-over-round are very important. I hear two frags on mirage's A ramp, and they had just lost the previous round? It's likely an eco round and they're rushing with pistol + armor, go B, prepare to ambush their rush, etc.. High sensitivity does not really have a place in counter strike because if you are doing anything more than a 180 degree flickshot, or even a 90 degree to some extent, you and your team has failed in obtaining intelligence on the enemy's whereabouts. Things like your mouse's polling rate, the maximum height it tracks on mouse lift, these things matter MUCH more than just in-game configuration of settings. You can change settings 100s of times, very subtly, and still see little change. The in-game settings only have to be consistent, maybe there is a small degree of preference but its not to be overthought of. Gaming mice are designed for very high frequency polling rates, and so higher sensitivities are not necessary. You can use your arm/hand to complete a flick with more accuracy due to the polling rate. The lower sensitivity is important because it focuses less on mini-corrections and dexterity in the hand. TLDR: Mechanical aspects of gameplay are not as important as others particularly at lower ranks. While mechanical aspects can be useful, this is for the naturally talented. Game knowledge and game sense is also for the naturally talented, but can be learned in many different facets than just mechanical skills. Further, as a token of trying to provide some helpful feedback without overly explaining everything else, the video title is incorrectly capitalized.

I see a case for aggressive entries to have a bit higher sens just to be able to not work as hard to clear a site. But in general if you play against decent players and your crosshair placement and preaim is off you are dead. 180 flicks should be impossible anyway and not taken into consideration. Look at donk playing. He has 1000 edpi while niko has 600. Their playstyle is super similar. Both have crazy preaim checking every angle with intent.

Am I the only one who plays on high sens and turns with my wrist only with no arm movement, but when aiming, I often (but not every time) switch to my fingertips and push the mouse around in my little hand cage? the main benefit is super fast turning by rotating the mouse in one spot, whilst also finer aiming is more precise.

[@arforafro5523]

To my experience, you always play on whatever is lowest possible sensibility that does not compromise your ability to react and flick. I'm glad you didnt mention the "muscle memory" meme, as different games necessitate different sensibilities. TF2 and Overwatch for example have a lot of verticality and you don't wan't to go as low as say Valorant or Counterstrike. Depending on your Loadout you might also need to change your sens on a game like Warzone as well. Going as low as comfortable lets you have finer micro-adjustments without dealing with static friction on your mouse/arm. On that topic I also like to keep my arm a little bit higher than my mouse; prevents friction, a chair with comfortable and adjustable arm rests allows ou to do just that.

[@tappajaav]

You can play all of those games on a low sens - though it has its drawbacks, for example I can't perform left wall rocketjumps on 560 eDPI

Hence prooved , Chair is all you need .

[@KaiX_Gaming]

instead of moving my shoulders or elbows, I move my wrist for aiming

[@svilenmitev5189]

I have made numerous experiments on aim regarding physical stance. Since I play on a laptop and have a large mousepad, which I don't utilise (don't have a keyboard and my pad is in a vertical stance). I am not able to properly use my arm to aim since I bump the mouse in my laptop swinging right, while I can freely swing left and my brain subconcously tries to avoid bumping the mouse hence aim in certain cases is bad. That's why I play on high sense, which is a competitive disadvantage. In addition, my chair cannot lift up high enough to reach a 90-degree angle hence I created a shoulder injury and now cannot use my arm to aim, only my wrist, which is even worse. In a nutshell, if you have a large pad, space, chair/table, which can be moved, you can kick ass. What are your thoughts?

@@aydanbeavers5270 I have played 1.5k of csgo like that, and I don't think my aim is bad at all. it's just how I always pick my sens when I play shooters idk

[@wojtekpolska1013]

first person to beat me lol 5424eDPI (1600x3.39) for me :)

[@TheKraaaze]

Risk of rain soundtrack goes as hard as this video, will still rush b with p90s though :)

[@nik_mik]

see this is the shit i appreciate man

[@ZwizuCS]

i have the kscerato no-forearm position, and only aim with my wrist on high sens (1640 edpi) my advantage is that i have hypermobility which allows my wrist to move further than normal, so i can make bigger movements (downside being that im more likely to get a wrist injury)

[@Boz1211111]

actually realised another problem while watching, im strugling with micro adjustments and aim speed and just realised my mouse doesnt glide at all it just sticks to the mouse pad. time to change and see

[@rixsoz9215]

Nice vidéo my health improved

[@afiderlellek5185]

bro i thought this is about real guns.. i see csgo i was like naahhh bro AHAHHAHA

[@PlatinNr1]

the better i got the worse my posture has becoming while playing cs. sitting straight feels completly unconfortable and isnt possible without loosing a high percentage of my capability.

[@WaTzu]

health is always going to be more important than your performance in a video game, you live in your body 24/7 for the rest of your life, cs is not always going to be there

[@infinitedelete]

niko, the best entry fragger in the world, plays on a low sens

[@Cup_70]

Great video. My EDPI has always been quite low. But after a long 3 or 4 year break from CS I came back and raised it a little as my reaction time is not as quick as it once was. I went from a 620 EDPI to 720, and found that I can still play effectively. No tournaments for me though, 250ms reaction time put an end to that.

[@MrBluePoochyena]

It was "devastating" for me to feel how much my reaction time has worsened over the years. Used to be in the actually "insane" 130-140ms range for it with a 24 144Hz monitor, now i barely get in the 230-250ms range at 26 years old with a 25 240Hz monitor, and have permanently changed to a 42-50 inch 60Hz 4K panel user as it just doesn't really change anything for me. I basically needed to over peripheralize myself to keep up with younger people which just isn't worth the money or time wasted and just take it casual now

[@mauriceachermann6544]

cant wait for ohne to react on this

[@skylo706]

It is like that: You use what works. In silver, you buy p90 and press w and mouse1. That this also works in global elite isn't our problem ^^

[@ics5073]

Bro he explained me PERFECTLY, I promise I will put the house, my life, my fuckin bank account on it that I’m knowledgeable af, I’ve coached esl teams and shit. But for the life of me for the fucking LIFE OF ME I CANNOT AIM FOR SHT (I Can from cod controller so) like I just can’t, I can sit there and aim train for months and get ok not even decent, but Jesus am I a fucking genius at the game

[@phoenixisash]

1:56 background 😭😭

[@fastslow002]

i have my pinky and index fingers on mouspad for "stability" but idk really

[@wojtekpolska1013]

how do you click the shoot button then that means you only got 2 fingers on the mouse? dont u need at least 3 (LMB, Scroll, RMB)

[@morrow559]

am playing with 11 sensitivity, mostly because of kz and hns but im doing fine in mm too.

[@larrydat4258]

1300mouse dpi + 3.7 in game here, every time seeing someone try to use my setup is hilarious.

[@evnank4276]

well, i remember i played on a sensetivity, that rotates 720 deggrees in 4 cm...
