Title: Is it really possible to do accurate flick shots with bad mice?
Post by: Sintpinty on Tue, 26 February 2019, 10:25:27: Just wondering... I've seen people do flick shots and literally have the best aim available. I, however do not have that great aim and nor a great mouse that all the professionals have. I tried to do a flick shot, but i am unaccurate. How do i do it or train myself? Also my mouse is 96 grams so that's quite heavy.

Back then we were all using the Microsoft Ball Intellimouse.

Lots of Quake champions used it along with Korean Starcraft champions of the time.

Ah, yes, the days of giving your mouse ball a blow job to improve your aim.
