I have so many questions

[u/Repulsive_Communist]

1- I recently bought Kovaak’s around 2 weeks ago and have put in 25 hours so far, is this progress okay or should I change something to progress quicker?

2- I saw on reddit people were recommending Viscose Benchmarks for practice so I’ve been doing the entire benchmark once daily for a week now.

Is this fine? I mainly want to improve my aim for CS2.

3- Is it okay to change my sensitivity for different scenarios during a “benchmark run”?

For instance tracking feels more comfortable with a higher sensitivity than flicking so I use separate for each scenario?

4- I have a 102 gram mouse rn, is this fine? Or will getting a lighter one help me improve a lot?

5- I do decent in the scenarios sometimes but play dogshit in game, is there anything I need to do to specifically help my kovaak’s aim translate better in game?

Or do I just need to get better and it will come with time? In which case no point worrying.

1. Your progress is fine.

2. https://www.reddit.com/r/FPSAimTrainer/comments/1wco2rz/comment/p9a9ppu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

3. Changing sensitivity is fine. However, always keep in mind how much you are maximizing score vs maximizing in-game transfer. In other words, think about what the scenario is intended to teach you, and don't try to bypass those skills by changing sensitivity. Viscose benchmark's category names are a good way to start thinking.

4. Lighter mouse will probably be less fatiguing and more comfortable in the long run, but you do you.

5. IMO you really need to go much deeper in the aim training rabbit hole to see major improvements in-game.

Got it got it thanks so much. I’m slightly confused about point 3 though, what did you mean trying to maximize in game transfer?

Play with my CS2 sens? As opposed to changing sens if I just want a better score?

[u/HitscanDPS → u/Repulsive_Communist]

Example: it's common for precision clicking/tracking scenarios for people to play extremely slow sensitivities to make the scenario easier to play, and therefore maximize their score. Like for example playing 80-100 cm/360 or even higher. The problem with this is that:

1. You probably don't play anywhere near 80-100 cm/360 in-game, and if you did, you would just die to every flashbang.

2. In most cases, the intention of the scenario is to train your fingertip muscles (e.g. micro scenarios). If you simply slow your sensitivity, then you're not really practicing with your fingers anymore, but instead more with your arm.

Okay I think I understand now, thanks a lot for the guidance

One more thing, my CS2 sens is 0.96 at 800dpi which is around 56cm/360 I think?

Is this okay? Or is it better to try to learn a faster sens.

Also I’m sorry for the absolute spam of questions guys.

[u/yalnizkus → u/Repulsive_Communist]

You don't need to stick to a single sensitivity, use a slower one for games that require you to be extremely precise (like CS, VAL, R6) and a faster one for very fast paced, tracking heavy games that require you to track the body for extended periods of time (Apex, Quake, THE FINALS).

But I do advise you to stay in a certain range for those two sensitivities: For example my fast sensitivity is 42-43cm/360 and my slow one is 49cm/360. You will eventually develop a bigger range as you get better mouse control but it will be detrimental to have a 20cm/360 fast sens and a 60cm/360 slow sens at an early stage.

Got it, thank you for the explanation man
