I’m 55 years old and just started my M/KB journey after being a controller player for decades. Yours is by far, the best tutorial on how learn using the devices. Thank you so much!
i know loads of people think what i do is weird but i use a g502 which has loads of buttons on the mouse. I have always been really bad at just moving my finger from shift to control without taking my other finger off of a or smth so i did what most controller players do. I never want to be moving my fingers away from wasd and my mouse buttons, so i use the side buttons of my mouse instead of control and i want all my main controls as close together as possible. tactical is q and lethal is e, with my melee, crouch, and prone on my side mouse buttons where my thumb is. everyone always advertises 'instant improvement', but it usually isnt. on my life, when i did this, i noticed changes within the first like 2 games it is an absolute life changer and i couldnt recommend it more highly.
Very great info, and very concise. as a MNK player for over 6 years the learning curve is a bit hard but once you learn it, second nature. make sure to take the info and apply it to what youre comfortable with. Savage did a good job and it helped clear some things i had questions on myself
Great video!! Going from a controller to Keyboard and Mouse is like learning how to use a stick shift in a car versus automatic shifting. Keyboard and Mouse is like a shift stick. K and M gives you more accuracy and control over your movement (minus aiming assist) plus a more precise aim. Also, I've found that K and M can quickly save my butt when a enemy sneaks up on you and you need to kill the enemy quickly, which is kind of hard of do with a standard controller. Also, I'm similar to you. I've been a controller player since childhood (and still is), but I'm starting to learn how to use K and M for FPS games. In conclusion, as the old saying goes "Practice Makes Perfect".
Great help! One thing I will add, in strafetracking, the objective is to actually strafe AND track at the same time (yes u can move lol). I try to keep the target within a center margin towards the center of the screen and make sure I never stand still. Definitely a game changer training!!
Good info for people starting out on keyboard and mouse. I use a keypad, Nostromo n52. It's old, there new versions of this type. My thumb for example can mele, reload, add plates and set tactical stuff. I key bind everything else to my liking. Having said this, I couldn't play with a keyboard if you paid me, it just wouldn't work.
Another good tip is your mouse sensor angle. So if I track my arm left to right and draw a line with it, I actually start lower on the left and climb as it goes to the right. I therefore recommend changing the sensor angle in the mouse. So even though my hand climbs slightly from left to right with about a 12° rotation on the sensor, it actually tracks dead level in game.
Love AimLabs. Have really improved from using it regularly this past year. I have some great custom playlists of drills that I really feel have helped me a ton.
Question. When tracking in warzone. Do you guys mostly track the enemy. I find myself looking at my reticle instead of the enemy and I feel like the aim labs could help that.
Tbh I realized that I don't have to think when clicking items normally, so I don't have to think when clicking targets in game, my scores improved immensely
The hitboxes is smaller to controller can shoot outside the enemy outline. MnK if u shoot even slightly off it's a miss. Still ppl say it's easier with MnK and its cheating. but that's bullsht it's harder but in the end it's up to preference and what u are best with
You're much better to have 1600 DPI and just halving your Sens, for example better to have 2 sens @ 1600 than having 800 DPI with 4 sens. Exact same movement speed but more dots per inch from your mouse.
Aiming is the easiest bit the keyboard is the worst in my experience and sometimes remembering to take your finger off the w key when in battles can be hard for me and the hand cramps and stuff like that
Try canting the keyboard to your preference hand position. Tbh I can’t relate, I’ve been on mouse and key since I was 6 so I can’t really remember how it felt when I started
See if this helps... I force myself to switch. I bought a aim controller got stick drift and it is not covered under warranty. Fuck it Old man switching to MK.
dude this is the best video ever that i have seen for someone who is a console controller player interested in getting a pc and trying m and k thank you
eDPI is really what is important - in game mouse sensitivity x DPI. You mostly talk about 800 dpi and that's fine, but it's only half of the equation. You mentioned mouse sense, but I would say that you should emphasize it. It looks like you play at ~3,200 eDPI (4 x 800 DPI). If you had in game mouse sense of10 then 800 DPI is way, way, way too high :) Summary, in game mouse sensitivity is just as important as DPI.
You ever try swapping your extra buttons to slide? I'm sure you don't remember but I played cs og back in the gap. And was a high level player. Moved out of my parents and switched to console for ease. Spent years honing in controller and getting good. 2 years ago I got a computer again and for the first year I played with a mix controller and k&m and am slowly transitioning to full time K&m over the last year. I found like with the controller having that aside button on my right hand thumb makes me feel closer to controller than using it as a throw away button (press to talk or whatever)
Hey.. Thanks for the video. I'm a noob to PC gaming. I just completed my first ever desktop build. I bought my first game (cyberpunk), and played for the first time last night. Needless to say i got discharged right away. I don't want to run to my Xbox controller. I want to give m&k a fair chance. DPI - my mouse is set wayyyy too high. Where do i change that setting? Is it in the game, or the mouse software? . Or is it Windows software? I have*Windows 10 Pro TIA 🙏🏻
Why do people feel the need to run squads with no comms and run the map like they ass is John wick like I get that the good player can do it no sweat but when yhall got aim that's taking satellites out the orbit I just don't understand why
Not really anymore, wired will always be "better". but in recent years most wireless gaming mice are so good its unnoticeable to most. My mouse has a 2000 polling rate and some go up to 8000. Personally i hate the feeling of the cable dragging against the mouse pad.
Honestly not that long, I’ve always like fast sensitivities. Even before I started using a mouse for gaming I would turn my mouse all the way up on windows. Back in my controller days I would use 20-20 sense.
Omg! Im 41! I been gaming since i was like 12, why the hell, have i never... ever thought of... HEY! SEEING AS YOR A GIRL... MAYBE YOU'RE KEYBOARD DONT NEED TO BE AS BIG AS YOUR HUSBANDS!... omg i never thought of this... although mw2.0 is the very first of the series of the COD franchise ive played... me, my husband, my cousin, and my oldest son whose 13 just started getting into the season 5 ranked BRs so im trying to fix my play... and you portion on the keyboard was really a viable possibility as something that could lead to a major improvement in my play... ty for a help with the brain storm! I subscribed!
high dpi less input lag and just do your eDPI so to do your DPI x in game sens so for me at 3200 DPI and 1.25 sens would be 4000 eDPI (3200x1.25) so if i play at 400 DPI i do 4000\400 my new DPI my in game sens will be 10 in game sens will feel the same
Shits a lil slow for me coming back to m&k after 12 years getting readjusted just feels a lil weird tryna get my settings right although muscle memory helped me keep my wasd hand ready for movement something just feels off bout the whole mouse sens adjustment rn
Hiya, gr8 vid, i'm brand new to knm, coming from ps5 etc, 1st pcfor gaming lol. Can I ask where you get aim assist and the other one from please? Gr8 vid by the way, helped me understand it all more.
I was a decent average controller player knew nothing about mouse and key . I said fuck it I got pc let me get the whole feel . So I switch to mouse and key put mad work in aim training . Played other games to so I would get use to to keys a bids . Doubled my Kd in cod on mouse and key within a year I will never go back to controller. Mouse and key is way more fun
I just started kbam and I play 1600dpi 10 in game sense. I was just told that’s fast should I switch to 800dpi? Again I’m only like 3 days in to my kbam journey
I've always had laser aim with sniping and assault rifles. With good movement but smgs feel to fast to ads and track people up close. Can't figure it out.
oooo laptops are more difficult, the shallow buttons makes it easier for your fingers to get losed on. I would recommend getting a wireless keyboard PERSONALLY, but thats only my experience.
Thank you Savage! I am new to pc gaming! Been a PlayStation guy all my life! Just turned the big 50 this year! Still have my PS4 Pro, and PS five launch edition! Your video was very informative and very well explained I appreciate you taking the time to do that for us that are new to pc gaming! Excellent video! Just subscribed to your channel!
To new people to m&k Your sens also known is cm/360 is a multiplication of “dpi” and the in game sens. Even though theoretically 1600dpi and 2 in game sens should be the same as 800 4 in game it goes deeper than that. See dpi, dots per inch, is how much of your hand movement the mouse can read and interpret accurately. So even though they are the same sens,on higher dpi you might have some “shackiness” but also more room for micro adjustments. Also, the latency difference is not a myth.. it’s just not that noticeable unless you’re constantly flicking from static position.
Thats edpi. Cm/360 is a universal measurement to track sensitivity between different games. As the name sugest its how much cm of movement you need to do a 360. I think you already know this and just made a mistake, im just putting this out there for others. I currently play on a low sensitivity of 65cm/360.
