I've always had the habit of some fingers on the pad and thought it was a bad thing. I'm glad to know that it can help in someways and I've always felt more comfortable with my pinky and thumb touching
It gives more control. Very nice to do with lighter mice and faster pads.
Same and i thought my aim was better but i thought it was the wrong way so i would always lift my fingers up higher but i would feel awkward and it would mess with my aim.
ikr. even twist's had 5 fingers in his mousepad xd
man sacrificed his mouse for his channel. The least i can do is like the vid
😂
I just noticed XD
What mouse was it? Zowie?
@@ethanmiles1482 yea but I’m not sure in the model
@@Tjay07 fk series, looks exactly like mine
Exactly how I use a mouse. Have asked friends before who found it weird that i glide my finger tips on the pad, but it gives you insanely higher control especially if you want to play with an edpi that isn't horrendously low in faster shooting games. Much more control with this style.
Big advantage in long range, u can actually move ur mouse pixel by pixel cause of it
I really love this type of videos, it really goes in depth
Its similar to when you play pool, it builds a structure around the cue, somewhat of a scaffolding, giving you freedom of control.
They call it a bridge for a reason :P
@@lehcimst interesting, never knew what it was called
Thanks for point this out I think I did this unintentionally and my aim felt really smooth and controllable but I could never recreate it until I watched this video.
I've always done this, good to know it is not hurting my aim!
Now I know how to improve my aim and make a step further. I appreciate your help. Thank you 😀
THANK YOU
i was feeling like my habbit if having my pinky and ring finger grazing the mousepad was going to hinder me from further improving (even though my aim is notably better with the added friction) but having a professional say that both are equally affective if you're comfortable with it helped me a lot
Awesome, glad to hear its helping :)
I genuinely appreciate this as well. I legit thought Im doing it wrong when extending my pink as the brake since its what is comfortable and doesn't cause fatigue to my hand than curling it and causing my entire hand to stiff
I think being cognizant of this for fine control for precise distance shot could potentially improve my game. Thanks.
if you use a high dpi, putting the fingertip on the mousepad can kinda lower de sens and let you aim more precisely
Loved this one Ron, exactly why I've always used my pinky extended with a bit of thumb grazing pad as a litmus test for mouse placement/movement and crosshair placement/flick muscle mem
Great pointers to try out. Thanks.
this man is a genius
Hey man, just would like for you to know I really like watching your videos they actually have helped me quite a bit. Keep going never stop.
Very helpful. Thanks Ron
im willing to bet that one guy is ethos.
for sure lmao
Thank you. will try this from now on.
literally the first person i see that uses this pen/writing analogy to explain aim. I always had good control handwriting and I used to do pretty well with a higher sens, i figured it had to do with this.
Never clicked so fast in my life
Until next video where you implement using your fingertips for pinpoint precision and speed 😩

Had to change grip to prevent the small fingertip from touching pad, because it had tendency to result with my mouse get stuck when shooting.
I also have this but when i keep fingertips off the pad my vertical aim is kinda affected.
amazing video i reyed the 3 finger grip and i got more hedshot with my sherif in detsch and better traking
the question I've been asking, thank you✅
i've tried relaaa's grip, you hold the mouse at the very bottom; actually the mouse is hovering- this technique only works with mice that has high LOD( lift of distance)- instead of mouse feet touching the pad it should be the ring, pinky, and your thumb in contact with the mousepad for more stopping power. it'll take a while to get used to.
I was literally thinking bout this yesterday...dude u always comes at the perfect moment
I have a very bad habit of completely holding my mouse in a way that none of my fingers really touch the mousepad, it's like a no-brake motion and I've noticed overshooting my aim every time I flick, u made me realize I need to pull on the brakes a little
Solid info here. Thanks Ron Rambo Kim.
great pen analogy
Rambo always delivering the hot tips!
I never miss one of your vids
Think ur talking about NRG ethos with the weird pinky thingy
Hey man, really like the things you said in the video! Although i think that some chill music in the background will make it even better, so consider adding it!
I really appreciate this video! I've been experimenting with fingertip placement myself, and I’ve noticed that when my fingers touch the mousepad (especially my pinky and thumb), I feel more in control, especially during micro-adjustments. It helps me with precision and stability. However, when I don't touch the pad, the movement feels smoother, but I lose that fine control for small movements.
I feel like I haven’t given the 'no-fingertip' technique enough time to adjust, but for now, grazing the mousepad with my fingers gives me a sense of control that I prefer, especially when I need to make accurate micro-movements. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on balancing smoothness and control?
I was always told growing up fingers on pad is bad and I never cared and here I am better than everyone;)
that Pinky-out grip is so fancy tho 😲
Maybe also a point about fingers touching the mousepad is tactical feedback? It could give your brain more information to work with to do the perfect motion. But I guess that's could not be a "realtime control loop" since the tactical feedback is processed waay slower in the brain than the visual feedback from the screen
Dang that's crazy! I just asked this question on Valorant Reddit a week or two ago! Thank you !
Good vid as always!
Hello Kim I have an interesting question:
How do tricep muscles affect aiming? I am a gym goer and I have found that my aim is strongly affected after a gym session when my tricep are involved. This can lasts up to 2 days. I dont usually feel muscle soreness but aiming is almost impossible. Everything feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable. My muscle memory feels completely uncalibrated and disorted. Its like playing on a completely different mousepad and mouse and desk height/sitting height. I would like your opinion and thoughts on this. Do I just completely give up on gaming 5 days a week? Or is there a certain aiming / sitting style that could help?
I noticed this thing too, the push day really sore my triceps out and aiming is difficult and I even get shoulder pain,
Fixes i found are:
1. Don't train your triceps till failure
2. Play on a bit higher sens as higher sens are more wrist dependent than lower sens which are shoulder/full hand dependent.
3. Stretch out the muscles well after gym session.
@@yashmishra9978 thanks for the reply
Because when you bend your elbow like when doing bicep curls your so when you bend your arm while aiming you see you put ur hand on mouse pad around 90 degree so arm is bent and when arm is bent tricep is stretched but if tricep is sore and it’s stretched it’s gonna cause pain and instability because you will feel plain which will cause you to shake and if you’re on low sens you will need to extend your arm consistently also causing pain which means shakiness
Fun fact if ur using the Hien u can't have ur fingertips touching the pad 🙃
cus it hurts
Maybe for you it does. Not for me
I used to do this to help slow down in terms of over shooting.
Hi Ron Rambo Kim. I have a quick question about using fingers for micromovements.
It is easy to bend your fingers to move up and down with the mouse because your fingers are built that way. But how do you make finger microadjustments for horizontal movement?
Grip the mouse as you would.
Using only your thumb, and ring and pinky finger. Push the mouse side to side WITHOUT using your wrist. Also pay attention to how your cursor moves when you do it.
The mouse itself shouldn’t be going side to side more like tilting. | -> / -> \
Mainly the lower half of the mouse should be moving. Think of using the mouse upside down .
when I flick my mouse shakes alot. So even if I have a perfect flick onto someone's head it jiggles to the left or right and messes up the shot. I learned that funnily enough, that weird overexaggerated pinky extended actually helped me but its uncomfortable
3:02 ethoz grip r there
Thanks
I got really good for a period of time when I was grinding hard on FPS games. Came back this week and holy crap I wanted to cry at how bad I was aiming especially my micro adjustments, posture, reflexes, and overall comfortability were. I aim trained for a bit on warmup servers on CSGO but didnt get much progress. My hands started cramping really bad so I gave up. Its been a few days and its getting slightly better but I still went to sleep tn sad asf with cramping hands. But I really dont know how I used to have such good aim compared to how i'm performing now. Its genuinely sad to think about it 😭😭😭😭😭
best video ever
Ron, what about mouses like MM720 where your ring finger lay on some 'shelf'?
Thanks for the tips, you sound like sykkuno.
I find doing 5 min of dm is sufficient enough (when comfortable), if you're not new to fps; mostly because it's all in the mind.
One thing I will factor in is cloth pads lol. Some days it's rough.
The forbidden one : the guy who uses the same finger for left AND right click
Technically I do that in Minecraft since I use both index finger and middle finger on both left and right button on mouse to clicking both buttons 10 times per second
Each button at a time clicking method is called butterfly clicking
i play high sens (1848 edpi) and when awping i keep my fingers off the pad, but when im aiming with rifle/pistol etc i like to drag my fingers to essentially lower my sensitivity to control spray better or steady my aim etc
crazy edpi bro
I switched to high sens recently (720 to ~1560) it takes some getting used to but I feel I have a higher potential with this, and if I sink another 1k hours with this sensitivity I can argue that I'll be better with it
@@ProFow if you sink 1k hours doing anything, you'll be good lol
@@ProFow if this is for a tactical shooter i can guarantee you thats a bad idea. any other game its probably a good idea.
Please make a video or give me some task how to get a relaxed hand while aiming, I always put so much pressure that my aim ist stuttering
Just buy muse with platforms for all fingers
guys u can try too pressure iur wrist for those pink and tumb user
Interesting to know your thoughts about trfy MZ1(mostly known as Zy's Rail). Creator of this mouse said that is best mouse for finger tip grip
I feel like my pinky gets like trapped under the mouse if that makes sense. Its like the flesh gets rolled under the mouse instead of gliding smoothlt
Huddled name drop!!!
Hi ron, I had a question, what are your thoughts on using mouse acceloration like the new rawaccel?
Great video! Could you also do one with Niko's mouse grip I found some old vids with a better view of his mouse for reference but I can't really get any proper insights
I palm grip, should my pinky be touching my bad, or should you have no fingers touch any part of it? Thanks
My mouse always slightly pinches my skin of my pinky causing it to gets stuck momentarily.
I always use my pinky as brakes for my mouse since my sens is high lol
but sometimes when u put my fingertips on my pad it feels rouch and bad but sometimes it feels good and soft
Is that Zowie ZA12 or ZA13? What do you recommend for 18.5/10 cm hands?
its an fk2, there are side buttons on the right side
@@technochun4325 The first versions (ZA12-A / ZA13-A) had side buttons on both sides ;)
Hump is too high to be an FK2.
Think it's a za12
@@greippuli9166 I am also pretty sure it's a ZA12, but it looked like it's been painted gray all over? Except the scroll wheel at least
@@NickSharpx it is
should you aim train before or after playing?
Question. Why does it feel unequal to turn one direction. As in turning right feels uncomfortable or vice versa. I’ve tried many grips and readjustments. Forced myself to stick with them for weeks at a time. Nothing feels comfortable.
When it comes to look at the screen and moving around it simply feels unequal and an annoyance to even play.
did you cut the cable off your mouse?
That is a broken mouse I think.
@@Ryuzaki84 tf? Are all of u crazy of something?
@@untrue6060 it's a mouse that broke so he cut the cable off it and uses it when demonstrating things
Hi Ron, I was wondering if this was normal for FPS Players.
Like, I haven't played a single FPS game for 2 months and when I return I somehow am able to aim better and have a better mindset on what to do.
im 131grip so no finger on mousepad.
idk 131grip is good or bad, but cant fix it cuz its my habit
only problem I've found with my fingers touching is it feels like when i need to go quickly one direction or another, a piece of the finger kinda gets wedged between the pad and the mouse and trapped in there just enough to throw off my aim a bit and cost me a life in some cases. like it's inconsistent
I clicked your video and I was greeted with a valorant aimbot advertisement..what an irony..XD
Oh man, I thought I was the only one that did the out extended pinky , wondered if that was bad for my aim 😳
when you can feel your mouse, you know you are gaming.
Hey that's a nice wireless mouse I wonder what model it is
Oh.....
mousepad in the vid?
Ima need info on that wireless za
Just cut the cable off and you get that
People with 6 fingers: Where do I sign?
dyac on or off ?
Tenz mouse grip.
I was going to ask that is a really nice mouse and then i realised
2:55 ethos?
Hi Rambo, when converting sens from game to game, Will using the same edpi work even if the games have different FoVs?
Sens will feel different between game engines and also if using different fov
What's the mouse he's holding?
I got my hand/forearm tilted a little to my pinky side, so the weight is on my pinky is this bad ?
what's better for high sense I use 1600dpi and 1.6 in apex I'm slowly getting used to it but I feel like when I have my wrist and fingers on the mouse pad i drag way to much idk what I'm doing wrong there but ya its been a issue I'm trying to play with my hands above it now but its feels weird
If I feel uncomfortable with my fingertip touching the mousepad, should I continue and learning it or stop using it?
Please tell me
I'd say stop
@@MICROKNIGHT3000 okay thanks
Rollers have no idea how hard being accurate with a mouse is.
but then again, we have our whole arm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
WHICH MOUSE PAD IS THAT?
can u do a video about best mousepads ?
like which type is best? ron rambo kim made a video on cloth vs hard
if ur looking for a specific product, i got nothing.
Xtrfy gp4 if you want control
@@chihun3981 i know this video but i want a recommended products
Ну все видос посмотрел теперь онли хедшоты в голову буду вешать
Ахахахах
Zowie pls take notes about the clean look of wireless. That is all. Thanks.
nice, i do this aswell
when i first started playing FPS games i had my mouse DPI to its highest setting bc i was coming from osu! 💀💀💀💀
i personally don't move my hand at all, only just my fingers
i get precise movement and i'm never have a tired hand, fingers are more flexible and precise
What kind of edpi do you run lol
Who was the sniper with that forward claw grip you referenced?
Danny
what mousepad is that?
kinda looks like the artisan hayata otsu
Whenever my finger slipped off my mouse onto the pad I subconsciously feel like the mouse is gonna eat my finger and my brain suddenly stops moving my hand.
My long nails actually helps my aim
