That’s why the voice sounded so familiar 😮

[@EvLTimE]

Damn. Thats why I was watching video you sound so familiar. Good video

[@Tzill]

I think another thing Shroud does is he seems to heavily use audio cues to figure out where an offscreen opponent might be, which could also help attribute to why his reaction time is so amazing. The brain will process audio stimulus (takes about 8-10ms) before visual (20-40ms), so i strongly believe that's also something someone who is aspiring to be a good aimer should work on as well This was such a pleasure to watch

[@StruthGaming]

Great point, thank you!

He’s forgetting that Shroud plays on 240hz+ which is why his reaction time seems so much faster than average. If you’re on 60hz, chances are, the person won’t even show up on your screen before Shroud will have reacted on high refresh rate.

This is a very profesional and well researched video i was always intrested of how certain Esports player or legends play out or think or even gripping the mouse. this video truly touches alot of points in all the correct ways.

[@kingdomheartsasha]

I thought I was the only maniac keeping track of humidity numbers and correlating it with mousepad performance. I bought "normal mousepads" (even mousepads shroud used) for years yet in my 70+ humidity climate it just never made sense how people could microadjust consistently, some days the thing would be as quick as brand new (odd 50% humidity day) and others it felt horrible. Got an AC+ Sakura and started to find a semblance of consistency ever since.

[@StruthGaming]

It's become a party trick at this point. I can move a mouse on a mousepad and tell anyone the current humidity.

[@iSaturnUK]

I love the aqua control pads. Mine feels the same all over the pad everyday since I got it. I had a qck and that thing had massive swamp spots where I frequently used and placed my wrist on.

[@Rosterized]

his sensitivity is pretty ideal as a standard sensitivity for most fps games. If anyone wants a starting point its a solid one and you can lower a few pegs or go higher if needed. But I've always liked how its fast enough so you can turn around quickly if needed but still you can control precision wise. When I started playing csgo way back I copied his sens and eventually ended up dropping it 0.1 and I've pretty much stayed there since.

[@StruthGaming]

Agreed, he's in a great range to perform well in just about any FPS game.

This is an amazing video to watch for anyone looking to get better in any FPS game overall. However, I would like to add that most if not all the skills that are presented in this video were learned through cs. As an 8 year cs player, I watched this and already learned all these skills of gameplay. With that being said, I'm not saying that I'm in any way shape or form as good as shroud, but I have developed a very decent playstyle that transfers to all FPS games. I very quickly find myself getting good at any new games I try, and would recommend to anyone looking to learn these skill to check out cs in order to learn all of the crucial skills in order to improve!!

Another thing about shroud that is amazing is that he is never glued to the center of his screen. He is always checking his map, inside of windows, or onto where is crosshair is placed to be able to pre- aim and pre- fire someone. Which is probably how he developed such insane reaction times. Also his reflexes help him out a ton. I have pretty decent reflexes but have yet to apply them in- game as I think too much when aiming in- game.

[@jerppazz4525]

its basic information that you should not stare at your crosshair in an fps game.

[@NonnyStrikes]

This made me realize a lot, especially why i'm dying more often than not. (I'm also brand new to shooters xd) Very familiar with kbm tho, and I've noticed it has given me a slight advantage to a newer player starting on cont. With that said, I have a mousepad I've been using for years due to comfort. It's a 10 dollar pad with a gel pad that pops up for my wrist. If I have my chair equal to the height of the wrist pad, it makes my movement insanely precise. Pretty much enabling all wrist or arm if I choose, or both. Lotta people have tried it and absolutely hate it, but I never have wrist issues and I game 5-6 h/d. I suggest giving it a whirl if you haven't, or if you have and didn't like it, adjust your chair height to see if you can combat the uncomfortable nature you're experiencing!

[@ashskyqueen]

New to kbam I got the g303 but its to small for my hand too. Switched to a corsair scimitar but that's a heavy boy. I never thought of padding the mouse like you do gotta try that

[@absolutelysobeast]

A year late but what mouse did you end up with? I have been using the g703 for about 18 months and i love it. Some dont like ergonomic mice but after my fingers were a little sore for a month or 2 but smooth sailing since

[@ashskyqueen]

@@absolutelysobeast I went with the Corsair scimitar. It's a great fit for my grip. It's a little heavy but I've adapted to it. It also has 12 side buttons and is adjustable for comfort. That was one of the problems with the g303 for me. The side buttons were too far back. Also the extra thumb button options are a great benefit as a former controller player. I really do miss the g303. Really good mouse but I just couldn't get comfortable with the grip. If they make a larger model I'll definitely try it :)

[@absolutelysobeast]

Thanks for the reply! Yeah former controller player myself, widhing i have 4 thumb buttons i guess? Those moba type mouse are way too much for my liking. I have been mouse and key for a few years now and i like it alot more honestly. I had a weirdish grip on controller and my wrist hurt 24/7 for years. Mouse and keyboard are so much better. I ended up odering the pulsar xlite v3 and it will be here tomorrow. Hopefully the shape isnt too different from my beloved g703. Starting to get double clicking issues though so the time is now to replace it. Thanks again for the reply

[@Codenameshank]

i’ll add a further analysis. The same mechanisms cowboys use to point and shoot their guns without actually taking the time to aim from the head and often times from a hip fire position is essentially what shroud is doing when he points and shoots. the sensitivity that he’s figured out for himself allows him to do that very effectively. so it’s all about making it an instinct

[@vivaanranka131]

those flicks at the start were absolutely nasty

[@MiekuahProductions]

From what i see through shroud's cam: his center of monitor is in horizontal line with his eyes. This is not just for immersion, but also to shape a good posture while sitting in front of computer for a long time.

[@GarthVonMaraner]

G303 X Shroud Edition is fantastic! I can move it all around without losing grip unlike other mice, coming from G5, G400s, G403, G Pro wireless and G305. 😄 Of course, can't be like Shroud himself but the mouse significantly helps.

[@7guitarras326]

Man, that was a great video, I used to be fan of Shroud's gameplays and you bring very useful information from this. I want to ask, do you know why a mouse never land in the place you expected? I have tried everything, and my mouse always go further than i expected. I have a g502 hero. Before, it work fine but after some Windows update, it messed up. I format the pc but the problem persist. Do you know some crítical tweak for the mouse in the registry for example? Something i could have overlooked. (acceleration is completely off in Windows)

[@absolutelysobeast]

It could be acceleration in game. Or it still could be the acceleration in windows. “Enhance pointer precision” is the option. If those two things are very definitely turned off, it could be the mouse. Check your dpi and make sure its exactly what you are expecting it to be. Some mice also have like a “motion snyc” or similar setting in the mouse itself or the software. Next to check would be your game. Check your cm/360 about 10 times and log the results. Look for any patterns or consistencies. Next to check would be your ads sensitivity mulitpier and make sure thats set where it should be. What type of mouse do you have? Are you running wired or wireless? Bluetooth? Is the mouse in proper working order and not worn out or old? Basically you need to be very diligent and scientific by systematically identifying and eliminating any and all variables. If you care enough, spend the time going down this path and you will find it out!

[@JohnW704]

0:24 is truly the real secret... I been telling people for years the key to constant aim is muscle memory and that muscle memory is literally my muscles in my fingers/wrist/arm knowing how much I need to move across my mouse pad, I know in reality what my physical movement of my mouse needs to be... enemy could be 60 degrees to the right and seems far but it's only a slight movement of your mouse.

First, thank you for your time and also for the explanation about other players; most of the guys thought that they were going to play a game and have 60 kills and be done; it is a lot of things to do before you start to play any game: You have to be 100% to play the game Good computer Super internet connection Lower ping Good mouse setup with the pad Gaming monitor The good or custom gaming table The most important thing is to practice the game before you play Record your matches for at least the last 5 minutes to analyze what went wrong and correct the mistake Know your sensitivity tested and apply Prepare your guns for max ADS & MOBILITY The last thing, think before you move; good luck because this one has only 0.5 milliseconds

Vaxee PA is the smoothest mousepad i've ever used. No jitters at all on that thing. I'm currently using the Xraypad Equate which is a hybrid pad, but still has higher friction and more control like a Zowie G-SR Black, but without the swampiness.

my reaction speed (i calculated the avg ) is 179.6 ms but still making micro adjustments arent easy so guys even with alot faster reaction speed you still need to practice micro adjustments, i agree it is easier for someone with a low reaction time to hit flicks and headshots ,it still is very difficult to be consistent ,thats why someone like shroud or Tenz have put in so much time in aiming that they are consistent , remember practice matters the most

[@JohnnyNJones]

179 is your reaction speed, so your looking at 200 to 220 ms to aim and fire at a target. Shroud was aiming at a target and firing in 166 ms Which means his reaction time is closer to 130-140 That’s on the edge of inhuman, if shroud wasn’t a gamer he would probably be a billionaire genius type.

I used to just shoot first aim later, but you won't improve like that. You need to slow it down and focus on your mouse movement, slowly you will get used to the feel, then the flicks will come, due to having practiced with intent to improve.

Yep, vast majority of things involving the development of muscle memory stem from accuracy -> precision, rather than the other way around. Then again some people are just wickedly talented and it just clicks in their brains.

can u mention all the video games featured in this video please

[@toonmaster777]

you counted how many frams it takes to react during the reaction time part. I feel that its hard to gauge this considering what we see is different from what they see ( a recorded video at 60 fps compared to them on there 244 hz). I had a personal thing that happened where i peeked during my own flash and saw them for a split second. my friends didnt see teh dude at all, and looking at vod the enemy was only on 6 frames or atleast a very small amount, but when in realtime it felt like i saw the enemy for a really long time and felt like i had a lot of time to react. More visible frames really does change how you view things. If you want another example, having lower frames make things seem faster. If you speedrun, say like mirrors edge, 60 frames is fast in istelf but when you edit a video to be 24 frames it seems like things happen instantly and the gameplay seems explosive and even faster than before, but its a visual effect cause of the missing frames and jumping from one frame to another.

[@StruthGaming]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but when watching 60fps, the error margin is 0-33ms. To combat this, I used multiple instances (others not included in the video) to ensure I wasn't just cherry picking a result and the outcomes were very similar. It is important to choose scenarios that would elicit an instant reaction time response though. Some situations there may be a slight intentional delay lining up a shot, so I had to be careful in which ones were used. While the method isn't perfect i'm happy with a 0-33ms margin when assessing it across multiple clips to at least get a rough idea of what his reaction time is.

[@SABRE117]

​@@StruthGaming yep, i think it is not so important to know exactly what his reaction time is for this analysis video, just to know that in general he is faster is enough.

Great video. The only thing that sucks about the g303 SE is that they slightly increased the size vs the standard, as someone with oddly sized hands (super wide but quite short) I've found the slight size adjustment to be super noticeable, I wish there was a slightly modded version of it because I think it's an absolutely fantastic mouse in every other aspect.

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

Mouse grip is subjective, its going to differ person to person on preference. What you want is that ultimate focus flow state when playing, where every moment you are 100% focused on the game, your actions, and next actions, nothing else. You want to widen your literal eye focus to track the entire screen and look for movement, then snap to it and execute. You also need to combine this with knowledge of the map, and how to position well - Good cover, playing corners properly, "head glitching" cover so you expose the least amount of your body to the enemy while they barely see you. Good crosshair placement is important too. The idea is for the reticle to be at the ready and have the least amount of motion to land a shot, so this means as you move, the crosshair is always at the ready for the most likely spot an enemy will approach from.

someoene should work with shroud to make a shroud sens app where it put in your sens automatically in for you and converts it to the same sens on all games no matter their fov pixels or what ever just to make it as comfortable as possible and maybe add a find my sens feature like aim labs and some pro sens things u can switch between from different games

[@StruthGaming]

aiming.pro/mouse-sensitivity-calculator will convert your cm/360 across games. It's a good starting point, but if the gap in FOV is large or the games have significant differences in mobility/verticality then you'll probably still want to experiment a bit.

[@TiKi-zc8hr]

Glad that you did this video. I've always had a similar grip to shroud naturally. I've been looking for a good mouse for claw users. Had the 703, and gpro wireless. Kinda hate the feel of the gpro. I've had the mouse slide around in my hands and it has gotten me killed. 703 was close but the quality of it sucked. 4 months and it died cause the mouse wheel is ass. Gunna give the 303 a go.

[@absolutelysobeast]

I have only had the g903 and the g703 and i absolutely love my 703. The 903 died after maybe like 1500 hours? Started not registering left clicks. But my original 703 has lasted me about 2500-3000 hours and still going strong. But yeah the scroll wheel is not the best

[@urskaprotogen]

So uh, I use a Logitech m525 mouse with a very straight-fingered grip, and I used to have a wrist-only aimstyle, which worked as a medic in tf2, but playing a couple other shooters, I recently started to adjust to actually use my arm to aim, needing to now seriously reduce my sensitivity in the game I have been playing

[@urskaprotogen]

Now looking at my grip, my ring and pinkie fingers are still bent but to me feel almost all the way straight

[@Jacob-fk7rs]

How do I calculate these distances taking dpi into account?

[@absolutelysobeast]

You start your mouse at a fixed point on the pad and move it until you do exactly a 360 spin and measure the distance between those 2 points. Convert the distance to cm and there you go. Cm/360. Dpi doesnt really factor in very much. Alot of people like 800dpi, true arm aimers love 400dpi. I myself prefer 1600dpi. I just lower the in game sense to a much lower number. Slightly less input lag and makes navigating windows far easier. Im around 38-40cm/360 and its awesome for me personally. for me its right on the edge of being too slow for warzone which means i have max precision with the minimum required speed. Obviously it varies by game though

[@ScaffManGaming]

Hi there I’m abit confused with the fov as rainbow six siege only goes to 90fov

[@StruthGaming]

Different games use different FOV scales, so R6 uses vertical degrees while others often use horizontal degrees (HFOV). 90 vertical degrees is equivalent to 121 horizontal degrees. Easier to show them all converted to the same FOV when comparing them.

[@apiestink]

the grip thing you are right. i need a wider mouse. i get strain in my pinky from the superlight.

[@absolutelysobeast]

I had that when i went from g903 to g703. 703 is wider and not ambidextrous so my pinky bugged me for awhile. Maybe 2 months? But i was playing 6 hours a day. Anyway it eventually strengthened and now i dont notice it all anymore.

[@manishkumarchoudhary869]

His sens in valo pls??

[@axelshawAk]

Best tip I've ever been told is just to keep my eyes on the crosshair almost not paying attention to the background, after a while it will be muscle memory for eyes to mouse.

[@sixtenalin]

that's awful to do in-game. it's better to focus on a specific point on the screen, as if you see a enemy on the screen thats 2 meters away from you on the right, you focus on his movements rather than your movements, you then follow him and this leads to greater tracking etc, also removes the tunnel vision from your part.

[@beamertoy]

It's more than just aim, it's risk, hunches, and confidence and a good balance between them. Shroud dies a lot in games, so people will mostly see videos of him dominating. So not many people understand what positions he puts himself thru to be able to flick between targets in very difficult situations. The best way to learn is by playing very small TDM or jumping into hot drops in a BR. Keeping a good memory of all the players you see scattered around and not forgetting about them. Besically, you need to TRY more to get amazing results. Think you can flick to 5 people in seconds, try it anyway. Think it's unlikely? Sit this one out and come back when you're serious about getting better.

[@amirarsalanrajabi-fn8gy]

thanks

[@znausea]

I do exactly this, all be it less consistent as I don't get to play often enough but the first video I ever released proves my point.

[@znausea]

To add, you mentioned visual stimulus but I believe it can be auditory also.

[@Krypterium]

11:06 i have died so many times in this game counting on a teammate who supposedly has eye on that area/watching my back 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@x-techgaming]

The key is being able to FLICK instantly anywhere you want. How do you accomplish this skill? No idea... Another thing is ARM AND TABLE POSITIONING.

[@thaizzz]

I think he does target confirmation. It's just too fast. He flicks center mass and then goes for the head.

[@bigjammie33]

My DPI is 450. I found the love for it due to solitaire :0 lol but when I got into watching a streamer, which was shroud 😂 lol. I was like oh shit.. we got the same dpi?! So every game he plays I’m always able to find my sens but he can mechanically tune it to the the decimal that’s why I always want to know what his in-game sens is lol because we obviously like the same dpi lol.

[@napanstarr]

"sorry, can't play tonight, my room is above 55% humidity :("

[@StruthGaming]

I've legitimately said that when it's 80%~ lmao.

[@lefonwastaken3393]

I have a question, when measuring your cm/360, should you measure from the centre of the mouse when you move it across your pad?

[@SefinFPS]

Just use a website to calculate it. Sensitivity, hfov, dpi, etc. It's exceptionally more precise than testing it yourself haha

[@lefonwastaken3393]

@@SefinFPS I do use it. It’s not what it says due to dpi deviation

[@StruthGaming]

I'd start from wherever would let me do a 360 without having to pick up and reset.

[@absolutelysobeast]

If you are trying to be extra precise then yes you would go from basically center above sensor to center above sensor. But realistically, if you measured from like the left side of the mouse, as long as you measure the start and finish from the same place, the distance will be the same

[@themodfather9382]

strangely good video. What's your IQ? ever have it tested? thanks

[@jpducati916]

What game is Shroud playing in the video? The last game with the WW1 feel.

[@StruthGaming]

Battlefield V

[@JustSheep-HandlesAreShit]

something to point out is that his 1x sensitivity in apex is about 41.2835 according to the calculator i used

[@jhtongamer3151]

Hey bud what so you mean by 41 cm 360 on pubg Can you do tgltn please 🙏

[@StruthGaming]

Cm/360 is the real life distance you move the mouse to spin 360 degrees in-game. So 41cm/360 in PUBG means Shroud would have to move his mouse 41cm (or 16.1 inches) to spin 360 degrees. Cm/360 is a useful measurement because it allows us to compare mouse sensitivity between games. Most games use a different in-game sensitivity so we can't compare it with that.

[@jhtongamer3151]

Can you please do tgtln bro

[@Deltatwo3]

I'm 34, I recently started gaming a few years ago and I tried the human benchmark... I'm extremely proud to say my very quickest reaction time was 149ms but I can consistently get 150-170ms. If I test myself for too long I feel like my brain gets fatigued and I start second guessing my reactions and clicking early and or just getting slower times. My worse was 223ms. Maybe it doesn't matter for most of you but being in my mind 30s and a competitive gamer I already feel old most of the time but this makes me feel pretty good. Am I nearly as good as shroud? Absolutely not... Can I hold my own and be in the top 10-25% in most fps games? Absolutely!

[@slice6027]

The reaction speed is off with the ms. Shroud doesn’t play in 60hz so the rendered video comes out slower than the original. Not by a huge margin but on ms seconds scale stil relatively a good gap

[@StruthGaming]

There's a potential error margin of 0-33ms. To help combat this I tested many different scenarios (only showed a few in the video) to ensure I wasn't just cherry picking a result, for better or worse. It's not perfect but it's close enough that I feel it's still worth talking about.
