I use both my arm and my wrist, making the load of utilization for both half. I like to use the wrist for small adjustments and also to reach a further flick.

[@N31907]

I used to wrist aim when I played MC a while back. I would often walk away from long sessions with bruised and sore wrists. It was not fun. Then I started playing more conventional FPS games, switched to arm, and my wrist is healing nicely. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be able to use their hands within a month of logging off.

i tend to mix both and keep my sensitivity slightly lower than the typical wrist aiming edpi. i have a wrist injury back then while working out but since then its gotten better but i can still feel the pinch sometimes.

[@tigersfury8914]

Utilizing both is also an option in my opinion. Using mainly arm aiming to clear angles and moving around the place. And using wrist aiming ONLY when you want to hold an angle and need to do very minor adjustment when someone shows up.

[@Alpha-up3mo]

I do exactly that

[@ai7en]

Yes arm aimers can do that but wrist aimers end up getting fked after using arm aims...

[@csb8447]

@@ai7en that's great to hear for me! I used my arm for years for all the movements while incorporating my wrist a bit. Think: 85% arm and 15% wrist. Over the past few months I switched it to like 70% wrist and 30% arm and hitting headshots has become so much easier. I just need to isolate and improve my wrist more because my arm now naturally wants to do everything anyways so its been a pretty smooth transition so far! My wrist accuracy is still trash but isolating it and just practicing the small amount I'm able to has made such a drastic difference lol Things like, instead of doing a 180 with my arm and just practicing turning by shuffling my wrist on the pad feels literally like the equivalent of "staying on your toes" in football/soccer lol. That and intermittently taking my hand of the mouse and putting it back on and just copying a few things from the video has felt insane lol This is why the voltaic kovaaks routine had me plateau at plat. It is hard to only use your wrist in those scenarios they give so when practicing i was just doing the same thing over and over and over again instead of actively working out technique. My arm is great and consistent now no matter my state of mind, so that base is wonderful to have lol. But all of that explains exactly why id miss by millimeters when aiming for headshots. My dumbass forgot to use my wrist and fingers - huge technique problem. Luckily I write very neatly and quickly using my wrist and fingers, and I'm also decent at guitar, so I just need to refine my muscle memory for those purposes edit: and just to cover my ass against people who say muscle memory is a myth and its just mouse control, my experience memorizing specific movements and then learning to use them as a basis for control and then adjust it to the sensitivity or whatever says different lol. Even ball control in soccer you start of memorizing a basic movement. In guitar, your "wrist control" starts off by memorizing specific movements as a basis. So yeah, I don't want to hear that shit when i understand what its all about lol, theres a reason why s1mple recommends to learn to your wrist movement in the way he does lol. Theres a reason why a leading national scorer taught me to shoot in a specific fashion lol, and theres a reason why a reknown center back taught me how to slide tackle in a certain way. IDK who began that myth but I've seen it a lot in the aiming community

[@x.kitsune]

Personal tips here from someone who was solely a wrist aimer who swapped completely to arm aiming... I swapped because I started to get a lot of pain and fatigue in my wrist when I started to play my first fps games and this resulted pretty quickly in me realizing I was complete shit at these games so I really tried to improve and grind in aim trainers to get better. Even with wrist aiming I improved very quickly at first, but my wrist hurt like hell some days and would really just ache and throb after an intense aim training session. So I decided to train myself out of wrist aiming not because I thought it was the superior method but just for health reasons which I think is the more important factor really. It took a ton of practice, but first off I had to have a setup that would allow me the room to put my arm up to my elbow on the table as well as a large enough mouse mat (in my case a desk mat). Once I had the room though and started practicing, I had to lower my edpi a lot, by more than half (I currently use 400dpi x 0.6 sens), this coupled with practicing on wide 180-360 degree aim training scenarios, automatically made me use my arm more just to get my arm used to actually moving as part of my aim. But especially in the beginning often I'd find that after like 5-10mins of practicing I'd get what I call "lazy arm" where I'd start to naturally go back to aiming mostly with my wrist even with my arm on the table and with my lower edpi, I'd undershoot my targets and feel the fatigue in my wrist. What I'd do (& still do) when this happens is I just have 2 dpi settings on my mouse, my natural 400 and a halved 200, when I feel my arm getting "lazy" I just go down to 200 dpi for a few minutes in an aim trainer and this forces me to make over-exaggerated larger arm movements than I normally would have to. Then I switch back to my regular dpi, get readjusted for a min or so and my aim feels much crispier & responsive and my arm isn't being "lazy" anymore making my wrist do all the work. This was something I had to do often, I'd be so focused on the scenarios in front of me that it wouldn't be until my scores started plummeting and my wrist was throbbing that I'd notice that I wasn't really using much of my arm anymore again. Over time I just naturally used more of my arm for longer periods of time until it became a lot more natural. I still get "lazy arm" sometimes, but a lot less frequently and it takes a lot less time to just readjust, like 30 seconds or so or even just a short break if my arm is fatigued and I'm back to normal. Also this seems like a no-brainer, but just remembering to set my whole arm up to my elbow on the table before I even grabbed my mouse for regular computer use or whatever was good practice to remind myself that I was trying to practice to switch to use my whole arm. Also using a lower mouse dpi with a higher sens in game will force you to make larger mouse movements when just browsing the internet or doing whatever you normally do on the computer, this can help you get more used to the larger movements with your arm as well. Side note; I'm not saying that arm aiming is better for actual gaming, or that you'll be a better aimer with it, this is just health related advice.. personally I've already had a massive injury and surgery to my left wrist (non-gaming related), where half my wrist & a few of my hand bones are fused together so I have limited movement on that side as well as chronic arthritis.. but having that injury made me take my health more seriously and think about what something that's just a hobby for me could cost me. Having 2 gimped wrists would really suck. Idk if I would be able to aim just as well with just my wrist today if I grinded the same amount of time, probably, maybe I'd even be slightly better not having to take time to retrain myself.. but in the long run it would probably end up being problematic with injury and stuff and sometimes there's nothing you can do to really help your wrist other than quitting altogether. So imo, if you play regularly, like multiple hours in a session at least a few days a week it's probably better to train yourself out of it while you can and have a healthier, less painful experience in the long run.

[@hazy4603]

this is actually an insane answer, and I find I am very similar. my muscle memory has been built on approx 0.3-0.4 sens @ 800dpi, so a fairly average sensitivity - but i find that if i am feeling lazy i will switch from purely wrist aiming, to a kind of wrist/arm hybrid, which fits about right for my middling sensitivity, but is not particularly precise, so i often find myself either halving my sens to 0.2 or doubling it to 0.6 (using the upper and lower bounds of my usual sens "range", i fiddle with it a lot) depending on whether i felt like my mouse was dragging/too sluggish or if it was too snappy and all over the place! in siege, i learnt the game mostly arm aiming (3 or 4 sens which ≈ 0.25 or 0.3 in valorant at 800), and then the carryover to valorant was fairly simple. i struggle to decide between a snappier and faster 0.6 wrist aim sens, which feels better to play on, but my accuracy is awful, compared to 0.3ish where i can flick with my wrist and track with my arm, which i find to be a lot more stable in terms of crosshair placement shots and spray control

[@nyox2978]

My question is , is ist ok to ONLY Arm like like even for small adjustments and do and pros do ONLY arm aiming

[@x.kitsune]

@@nyox2978 i dont think anyone ONLY arm aims, I doubt that's really possible. you're naturally going to use your wrist for adjustments. most people have to train themselves to use their arm in the 1st place. you'd just be crippling yourself to not use your wrist.. unless you're like in a cast or have your wrist fused there's no reason why you wouldn't use your wrist and fingers for minor adjustments.

To switch from wrist aiming to arm aiming, I went into Aimlabs and used the Valorant settings (EDPI 400) and just drilled different exercises for an hour. Following this I went into Valorant (800 DPI and .5 sensitivity) and went to the range to test it. Sure enough, my times for 50 targets were the same as they were before- 57-60 seconds. Obv it'll take more time to make it second nature, but sticking it out was worth it imo

[@joshuabuena8049]

i've been playing starcraft for sooo long that I know that wrist aiming is embedded in my DNA.

[@coasterthekid8867]

I've always used a really high sensitivity, whether on a controller or mouse, so I naturally found wrist aiming more comfortable. I use 3200 dpi with a .6 sensitivity which is equivalent to 2.4 sens with 800 dpi or 1920 edpi. I know that sounds like a lot but I think its related to my extensive time on controller as well as my COD trickshotting background. Essentially, good trickshotting requires max sens on console and I didn't want to switch to a new sens every time I hit last so I just started playing on max sens all the time and eventually got used to it. Max sens on console combined with great spin timing from years of trickshotting allowed me to perform insane flicks on controller that allowed me to compete with pc players but now that I use KBM for most competitive shooters, I use wrist aiming combined with high dpi. I think the reason for this is because it sort of reminds me of aiming with an analog in the sense that I'm doing insanely small inputs but still rotating my FOV a lot.

This has been going on ever since i started arm aiming.

[@izraakazekeen]

I’m a wrist aimer & personally, it’s always BEST to warm your wrist & fingers. Also i learn sport science, arm aimer may potentially have a risk of aching your entire forearm or shoulder without you realising it. It may even stiff your shoulders as well. Eitherway, do whatever kinds of warmup you’re comfortable with for your hands as it will help greatly & also reduce the risk of injury

I am both of these, as I use both of them depending on what I need them for. Since I play Valorant I need little Arm Movement, but my EDPI is 400, with a Sens of 0.5 and DPI of 800. I used to be wrist only gamer as I had little space to use, and my sensitivity would be 1600 and DPI of 1000, which is insane as I can no longer make those movements, but the more I get used to an EDPI the faster I feel with it going out of control.

I bought a big ass mouse pad but I just can’t do arm aim been trying for like a week and when I try to flick it takes days for me to adjust to who I’m trying to flick to

[@mikewazowski8329]

bruh wtf i just found out my edpi is 1900, no wonder I was bottom fragging every damn game

[@Framax00]

Sameee, Ive using a edpi of 1900 and trying to use arm aiming, i'm gonna try a lower one to see if it's better, your comment it's 2 months ago, what have You done about your edpi? PD: Sorry for My Bad English, i speak spanish xc

[@mikewazowski8329]

@@Framax00 oh haha it looks like you had the same problem as me, I just started off using around 800 edpi, and kept lowering it down to what felt comfortable to me, while using arm aiming. I also checked out what edpi my favorite pros were using and tried them out too.

[@Framax00]

@@mikewazowski8329 yes XS, thanks for the reply, i did the same and it feels waaaaay better now ^^. I didnt check the edpi of My fav pros, i should do that thank youuu, have a Nice day ;)

[@milosgrujic9118]

Aiming mastery is hidden in combination of both wrist and arm aiming. Let your wrist do the work localy and move your wrist with an arm where it needs to work.

[@Collin_Nicholas]

I was a wrist aimer but had to get surgery to do Cubital Tunnel. (Had scar tissue compressing my nerve in my wrist/elbow.) Now moving to arm aiming.

[@idkrossplay]

Just switch to lefty then you can be a wrist aimer again

[@nterbeastro-slayers9528]

Bro I am a wrist aimer and since you mentioned injusry my wrist is hurting for God knows reason

[@Astrein0017]

I used to wrist aim cause I had a tiny notebook as a mousepad, but recently I bought a big gaming mousepad and my aim has been getting worse and worse so I tryied changing sensitivity (before I had 1800 dpi & 0.35 sens now I have 1500 dpi and 0.3 sens (450 edpi)) I have also tryied arm aiming but that just makes it even worse, cherry on top is that idk why but sometimes my mouse stops detecting that its over the mousepad and stops working, resulting in my aim freeze some seconds

[@Healp145]

train on both low and high sens so you can help train your arm movements and wrist movements

[@Spamzzy]

I cant stop wrist aiming its to comfortable for me, but I cant even fit my whole arm on my desk so I couldn't even do it if I wanted to

[@njk1918]

i've been struggling for years to find out what actually am i im good on both i do well on both i switch all the time to see whats better and i fell both the same way so i cant really chose what to stick to

[@anope9053]

i use raw accel as a wrist aimer so i can still make wide adjustments without sacrificing small ones

[@thejuggernaut7744]

I dunno man, even on my highest sens in months I had an edpi of 360, as a wrist aimer should I increase my sens by a lot to get it to the 500 mark or not

[@MrAmbrosse]

What about finger tips? I use finger tips, wrist, and I started using arm now that I lowered my edpi to 425. I think EDPI below 425 doesn't feel snappy.

[@krazylion9743]

Dam I have a edpi of 277

[@danielbktk]

Does the cursor speed (in the windows settings) affect the gameplay?

[@cnpglng]

im a newbie at gaming and ive been wrist aiming because im much more comfortable with it. But as i take more time playing it kinda sometimes tires my wrist out so it kinda messes up with my aim and recoil control. I tried arm aiming but it feels so uncomfortable because im not used to it. Its so hard because i cant keep up my wrist up my mouse pad for long enough and im not accurate enough. But im still going to practice because i want to know if it will change something for me. and i just hate the fact that my wrist gets tired so i have to have something that doesn’t tire my wrist that much. If you have any tips i would gladly try them!!

[@SMHakimulIslam]

was a wrist aimer, now I'm both wrist and arm. since wrist only kind of restrict movements, I use arm when I need to make wide turns. I can neither play with too high sens nor too low sens and nor can do a lot of mouse movements, so I balance between a lot of movement and a lot of sensitivity which is 800dpi, 500hz, 0.45 in-game sens in valorant.

[@zryptex_7041]

i hate my desk, the edge is sharps af so i used tape to cover it up. i used to have 2.5 (source/apex) with 800 dpi but i changed to 1.5, only after a while i realized the tape is slowing my aim, and my mouse pad is pretty small. If i put it vertically i can cover up the edge and i won't be slowed down but i have a really small space, and if i put it horizontally i have enough space to move left and right but the tape isn't covered and i'm slowed down.

[@awxzi6288]

i have no room for arm aiming... i need to rest my elbows on the table same thing as using a bipod on a weapon when my elbow hangs off the table its really hard to control my arm movements so i use wrist right now using my wrist as a bipod

[@Gixxer.Bobbi_]

I have a big mousepad but I don’t know what I should use but carpo tunal thing sort of runs in the family so I’m learning arm

[@kirude5988]

is there such a thing as both? i keep switching depends on what shot i need to do or is that just arm aiming?

[@richielek]

im a wrist aimer and i really worry about my wrist health, i really want to change habbit but i can't let go of my muscle memory, i've nailed nut flicks with my wrist

[@caskin6793]

stretches throughout your gameplay should be good!

[@290198Nicholas]

Tbh, arm aiming is more relieved my wrist than wrist aiming. However, my desk is pretty small. That there is no choice I should do in wrist aiming and increase my sensitivity around 1.5

[@dragonrekt3713]

Never knew wrist aiming existed now i know why my friends say their hands hurt

[@kubistonek]

why not both? i use 400dpi, arm aiming to flicker and wrist to precise tap head

[@flame4627]

i used to be wrist but it started hurting and id have to wake up randomly when i sleep with my head on my hand because it hurts. it stopped hurting after 2 weeks of not playing valorant and now im playing low sence. i got myself a wide table and huge mouse pad. the thing is i dont like the friction of putting your arm on the mouse pad so now im getting a tall table to start playing while standing. maybe i could make a mousepad with synthic fabric that would make less friction but hey i have an excuse to get my second table in a week so

[@bluejy930]

somewhat both, although i use more of my wrist i actually use my elbow and kind of a achor and i only bigger swipes as i slide my elbow across my desk and for very small and slow movements i use my wrist

[@robloxianflexgod347]

Everyone should use a hybrid of the two, arm more for movement and wrist for shooting range

[@spetsnaz4537]

i figured this out instantly, never bottomfragged since

[@Nitriikx]

I was always used to high sensitivity on desktop, LoL, arcade FPS like CoD etc ... Didn't even know that some people use the entire arm to aim, now I understand why I struggle with headshots. I checked, and I was playing with 1800DPI and 2.2 sensitivty in game, so almost 4000EDPI

[@oneyellowfellow6345]

i can play both arm and wrist, but i prefer arm. problem is .. i dont have enough space on my desk, so i have to stick to wrist

[@rei7]

Iam a wrist aimer and i play on 800dpi with .375 sens in-game.

[@farzankhan4745]

I am wrist aimer can you suggest me what sim grip should I use?

[@frederichabsalonsen]

Nice video, I think that im arm aiming

[@mishygaming421]

Pls bring video on building muscle memory in keybinds

[@jmalmighty5433]

just practice by only concentrating on ur fingers while gaming

[@swaggymcswaggerton374]

My edpi is like 350 so I do fine adjusting with wrist but do 180s and 90s with arm

[@CardsNSleevesTCG]

I started off with a small mousepad, and thought I would get more with a bigger mousepad, now I only use a quarter of my mouse pad... Good coaster though!

[@HojaFPS]

I m arm aimer but trying to get higher - so i can use arm for big movement and wrist for small adjustments

[@blufa3192]

I'm might switch to arm aiming as a lot of pros arm aim but wrist aiming feels nice and I've been doing it for Soooooo long

[@Feyolen]

Haven’t watched the video but imo wrist aiming if you don’t have much mousepad space. Wrist aiming even if you do but arm aim for big flicks or 180s. My eDPI is about 280

[@6enesix]

large mousepad stocks after this video 📈
