Is it really possible to do accurate flick shots with bad mice?
« 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.

Quake came out in the days of the Ball mouse.

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.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
