Do you use your wrist or whole arm to aim?

    I know arm aiming is better and all but i use my wrist to aim bc of my lack of desk space + its just muscle memory at this point


    wby?

    Wrist. It's more comfortable for me + my desk is tiny

    Personally I use a little bit of both, but it's mostly just preference. Some CS:GO player I watched mentioned that you'll be more consistent aiming with your arm but you make more flashy and flicky plays aiming with your wrist.

    If you ask me, combining arm and wrist aiming to what feels the most comfortable for you is the best option.

    Whole arm on low DPI. It’s why I’m a lot better than most of you.

    Low damage per second? Do you mean DPI?

    The low DPI to aim better

    The Low DPS so I don’t shit on you too hard.

    So that's why you never do

    Nevertheless, DPI alone doesn't matter that much, it's your eDPI (DPI x sensitivity) that has a big impact. Higher DPI with low sensitivity in fact skips less pixels than playing with lower DPI and higher sensitivity.

    What's your eDPI btw? Mine is ~990. (800@1.238)

    My highest setting is 800 for league
    I play Gmod at 300-400 depending if awp or AK.

    Can’t give you exact numbers tho cuz my PC is 1k miles away

    Wrist. Mouse sensitivity 1600 CPI. Desk space for mouse 16 cm. Wrist seems more comfortable for me anyway. Some famous cs go players like n0thing uses also wrist.

    I honestly don't know. I think I use my wrist more but I've never payed attention long enough to know for sure.

    Both really, I play with too low of a sensitivity to just flick my wrist around

    wrist first then arm, i find it strange to see people just moving the mouse, pick it up and move it to the other side of the mouse pad and repeat.
    or if i have to make a huge turn, i just move the mouse faster in the same amount of distance

    tz- feelin it VIP Emerald

    mostly wrist but i use both

    400dpi 2.8 sens in gmod

    uhhh lmao 3500 dpi 6.5 sens in gmod

    I use my wrist for everything. Using anything else or going slower feels un-natural
    Like, I use 3500dpi for everything. It bugs me to go slower.

    The only time I go slower is if i'm scoped in and they are moving like a spaz. I just click a dpi button and switch it to like.. 2000.
