It’s only been a week or two playing on pc after many years of xbox but I feel like I’ll never adjust to these new controls. I’ve been looking into keyboards and I discovered gaming key pads. Is this a good way to go or should I stick it out with a keyboard?
All i can say is that once i got the G13 i never looked back. Could be subjective, but certainly worth a try.
It takes months, not weeks. A friend of mine was a life long console gamer, and it took him easily a year to be comfortable with keyboard and mouse. Practice, practice, practice.
Laidback said it right. Get the Logitech G-13 and don’t look back and while your at it get a Logitech gaming mouse they use the same software at least the g500 mouse and the G-13 game pads do. I’ve use a couple other gaming pads but the G-13 is the ONE and damn near indestructible too, got mine in 2008 or 9and never an issue with it..
The most important part right now is to make sure your seating posture, keyboard/mouse and monitor position are in good order. After that it’s just hours, you should feel decent after 100-200 hours. Expect your aim to be sub par forever if you don’t have a good sensitivity set up. If the physical distance on your desk to do a 360 degree rotation is less than 30cm or 1 foot, then your sensitivity is too high, most people play 30-50cm 30 for fast games like Quake and stuff and 40+ for slower aim games like CSGO, I suggest playing 35-40.
Once you got a good set up be mindful of what your doing, every now and then your running down the map practice a fast 180 turn, that will build muscle memory, do the same for 90 degrees as well. Pretty much most of those movements will be in the wrist with maybe a little extension of the forearm.
Practice peaking, you need to be able to shoulder peak which is just your camera peaking the corner for info and not your whole body, then practice real peaking, you should be able to peak and ADS exactly on the corner you want to look at which is called crosshair position, good crosshair position has you aiming where you expect the enemy could be at all times, usually chest/head level too. Do not run around looking at the ground..
GL, add me to squad up if EU
When I switched from PS3 to PC, it took me almost 200 hours to get a >1.0 K/D. It may seem impossible at the beginning but you shouldn’t give up. It takes time but it’s definitely rewarding in the long run.
I’ve just switched from PS4 to PC 3 weeks ago, and my K/D is 1,20. I’m quite happy as everybody told me I’d do at the beginning. Luckily I can perform some great games. I don’t know where my skill comes from (i call it skill even though it’s not perfect at all). I can simply track ennemies easily and kill them, it’s not that hard. Sometimes my aim is all over the place though, it happens.
My K/D on console was 3,50 though, I hope I can recover it one day on PC. Coming to 1,20 is hard, but I’ll get used to it and keep practicing.
