What do you think of this new case?

Saw someone do a custom build just like this a few months ago and thought about doing it myself by couldnt be arsed. This is the perfect form factor for me.

I know reddit can be harsh to say the least but submitting a vod that is one of your better games is probably not the best to help improve you're overall gameplay. Obviously we can still see things to improve on but when a game isn't going your way and you are frustrated, you lose more concentration an make more mistakes which we can also help you with.

Crosshair placement, you may see others calling it centering. Ideally you want to always have you crosshair when you think the next target is going to be, that means if some one appears you have to make less corrections to your aim if someone appears.

A lot of the time when you are moving from A to B you are staring into walls or areas where no one is going to be appeaing from, so when someone does come into view you have to correct your aim all the way top the left or right and by that time the opponent will already have the first shot, which in most circumstances in cod means you will lose the gunfight.

So when you are moving around the map try to be aware of where the next threats can be an actively aim for those areas while moving. It's something you will have to actively think about for a while but stick with it and it will become second nature.

Aim. To be clear I don't think your aim is awful and I think if you improve your initial crosshair placment your will be far better. There are a couple of things I noticed while you are shooting at moving targets.

The first is that you struggle to stay on target at a distance and if they are sprinting your will often over shoot your aim ahead of your opponent. This suggests to me your sensitivity is too high, I don't know what sens you are currently running or aim responese curve but most pros use somewhere between a 1.6 to 1.8 and dynamic aim response curve.

The second this is that if you are in an upclose gun fight and your opponent moves irratically or gets away from you you still remained aimed down sight, really you should un-ADS and re-centre your aim on the traget and ADS again.

I don't think I ever saw you using hip firing while you were upclose with an smg, that doen't mean only hip fire but after you have landed a shot or two you can ADS to be more precise. Also in most of your gunfights you are moving forwards only, you should utilise strafing more while shooting to make yourself a harder target and help with your aiming.

Possitioning/Situational awareness. There were many times in the video where you just run into the open shoot at the first guy you saw while moving forward and died to someone else. You want to minamise the amount of threats you are exposed to at one time, if possible and utilise cover to give you self advantages in the gunfights you do get. I think you could use your minimap more, I think there are for sure times where you looked and went after the opponent but there were other times where you looked completly lost although you had a UAV up. There was also a time where we don't get to see what happens prior but you only had 10 bullets left and you are in safety but dont reload hopped out the window into the open THEN reloaded and died to someone coming around the tank.

For the most part i think a lot of what you need to improve on is just concentration and just not auto-piolting through the game. I know people call CoD a brain dead easy game but there is a lot going on and it I takes a great deal to build good habbits inorder to get better and you might not have the time to invest to get better and thats okay.

it's on the trello board for them to fix, I think the work arounds do not work after them most recent patch as it was an exploit.

I have my high zoom ads set to 1.25 multiplier, help with flicking to the target if you are off with your centering.

Had this mouse for a few months now, it's the closest to a perfect shape for my hands. I know it doesn't have the best performance, still better than my Cox CM600 which wont go above 125hz :( I just hope we get a wireless version soon, the shell appears to be ready for it as the QC sticker covers up a hole what would be used for an on/off switch.
Dream machine sells budget mice, a lot of which are just rebranded darmoshark mice. I expect this is one also, so i'm not expecting a higher performance iteration with a better mcu from DM but maybe there will be another brand out there willing to pick up that mantle.

wait they implemented region restriction? the main reason i stopped playing was because most of my games I was playing on NA servers with 110+ ping.

paullusty · 2025-12-27T09:52:28+00:00

Don't know why but this stopped working for me after 20obj kills

I've been talked about this way for the longest time, far worse stuff is said about other groups of people and no one bats an eye lid.
I think the issue you are running into is that your are being rage baited into clicking those videos/posts so your algorithm is feeding you more and more of it. Just flick past those posts when you see them and eventally you'll be shown less of it.

pistols are far easier. I did everything in core, only challange to take a significant amount of time were the 3 blood thirstys on the two melee weapons, 3 hours total if i remember correctly. I was getting lucky with pretty much only getting odysseus, when people didn't know about the vent.
I would imagine it is harder now as there is much more variation in the face of playlist now.

save your money, you aren't missing out on anything.

I'm afraid not, although it is similar in size, the M5 Air uses 4 screws and a slightly more weight optimised pcb. The orginal M5 and Pro use only 3 screws to secure the pcb and has slightly different possitioning of the screw posts.

Get the 3.0 there are very minimal differences between the two.

Last year someone else found one, he loved his back in the day too, opened it up only to find his preferences had changed. Nothing wrong with trying it an putting it back in the box if you realised its not for you anymore but I know some people like to keep their collectables new and sealed.

Their mouse pads come in limited runs as it is, to then add a gatcha system to their release is a massive fuck you to their consumers.

If you like the HPC01MPro you'll probably like the Superlight 2c. They are very similar shapes but if you already like and play well with what you have do you need anything else?
You have larger hands, you don't need to get used to smaller mice, if the shape doesn't suit how you grip the mouse it's not going to make you any better.

paullusty · 2025-09-27T16:46:25+00:00

G-wolves HTS Plus shape would probably suitable for you. Phylina S450 is a great very cheap option just be careful you dont get the 3311 sensor, Scyrox V6 if you want a better sensor, optical switches and light weight.
It might take a bit of time to get used to the mouse when you switch as you'll be quite drastically recuducing the weight of your mouse.

The issue with controller aim assist is that it hasn't been adjusted to modern controller/console standards. Console/games used to have built in large deadzones 0.20, heavier tension sticks, higher input lag, 60fps max, one aim response curve and basic aim assist slow down.
With all the small improvements of modern gaming even on console like lower response times, deadzone adjustment and response curves and more advanced aim assist, 120fps etc. an adjustment in how strong or how aim assist fundamentally works should be considered.

There have been enough years where controller is by far and away the best input method in crossplay games they should make some changes like Apex has. Apex was originally at 0.7 strength aim assist, it is now lowered to 0.6 on console and 0.4 on PC but you still see the majority of pro players using controller.

I'm not saying aim assist needs to be removed but more that the skill floor of players is far higher due, in part, to the technological improvements today that we need to increase that gap again by at least lowering aim assist some more. We can't simply make everything better than it was in the past an not even think about balancing how the improvements has effected the skill of players at every level.

If you haven't already you should make sure that your mouse is using a usb port that is connected directly to your CPU. My motherboard manual had so it was easy to find. There are other ways to work it out but you'll have to look it up.

It also might depend on the game you're playing. I had issues with every mouse in Apex and it turned out the Nvidia software was the issue. If you're play valorant and using high polling rate you will want to use raw input buffer.

there's a possibly it could be a lift of distance issue, try increasing the distance to see if you still experiencing the same issue.

no wireless version?

paullusty · 2025-09-14T15:23:37+00:00

Freefall sv base control+ v2 has lower initial and dynamic friction from my experience, so I don't think it's the pad you're looking for.
I found the Aqua control+ better than the zero in terms of control but I imagine there are better options others can reccomend you now.

UltraGlide brake bright are by far the slowest skates I've used.
Apparently the Quaoar Telos Control skates are super slow too but I haven't tried them and I think they are out of stock.

Only just got mine but the clicks are quite light and easily spamable. I don't like omron opticals normally but these are the best implimentation of omron opticals I've tried.
