Yep. And I still play from time to time, despise getting my arse served by most players. And I’ve got to admit that hand tension is exactly -THE- “main” problem for me, despise trying to be as relaxed as possible with drinks and the like. I do have lots of “Why my crosshair isn’t moving to where I want it to go?” moments due to it.
…and I… (kind of) given up, honestly. I’m about to be a 40 year old geezer, so eh.
Indeed. Theres also burst firing, which can get significantly easier/more “natural”. Or when you are an old chap like me who panicks all the time, lessening the effect quite significantly as well.
That is an interesting take, which (also) makes sense – each millimeter matters when you are using a weapon that demands the most precision in order to hit your targets. And multitasking with your “aiming hand” can mean the difference between being able to hit your target or not. Even so while burst firing.
Well, I tried this idea with Planetside 2 (Which is a very “messy” game where it can easily use more than 10 hotkeys at a time) and it started to feel “natural” after 30 minutes - 1 hour of gaming. And can’t really give you a key mapping that will work for you “just like that” but try placing your “non-aiming” hand at the keyboard (right over your commonly used movement keys) and pay attention to where your finger(s) are and change your shooting hotkey to where one of your “non-occupied” fingers are. Then test it for a while, and see if it “feels right”. If it doesn’t, then switch to something else.
As for me, left shift felt more “natural” since I use WASD and my left hand (when relaxed) lands exactly to where the left shift key is.
