Aiming's Best Kept Secret - Fingertip Skating

This forgotten aiming technique provides unparalleled control of the mouse by using the fingertips instead of the mouse feet to move around.

this video sparked something in my head and remembered scrublel's video explaining his aim style

Man thanks for this video, fingertip grip is the only one that feels comfortable to me but there has always been that feeling of less than perfect stability but this small change has fixed that, so simple but so effective.

Thank you! This was my old grip where I felt everything was just perfect for me and I was performing the best in cs. I lost this grip and forgot how to do it for around 3 years! I never noticed what my thumb, ring finger nor my little finger was doing while I was gripping like this for some reason, but after I tried the grip came back to me instantly! This is a savior of a video 😍

[smaksauce]

thank you ！ this is alot clearer than the Oringinal video on kovaaks!

I have been doing this for a long time and always thought it was a weird quirk by me, as I never seen anyone use it. This video exactly demonstrates what I'm doing! Tracking targets is so much better this way. I use a Beast X which weighs next to nothing so it's easy to lift. I do keep contact with the pad with the very front right part of the mouse mostly for stability as it keeps me grounded.

I've been doing this for ages using fingertip grip, and it does make you more precise at aiming, I use the 'Razer Viper Mini' and it has a very high lift off distance.

[Log_Pile]

Great work Struth, love this grip style and I love to see your channel grow so quickly. Well done bro

[StruthGaming]

Thought I would just clarify that the clearance being higher on the thumb side and lower on the pinky/ring finger side is just because of the G303 SE mouse shape. You can see the Model D has even clearance.

[adnanadel]

So thankful for this amazing video mate! I do the same, and I've always thought it's a bad habit that I should get rid off.
But now I feel relieved knowing that a God Tier Aiming Coach uses this method.
Probably that's why mouse pads affected my aim so much (using Artisan Raiden XS now since I feel it's the best feeling on my skin so far).

[PomLamb]

I use this aim tech. Funny thing is that I had no idea it was even something players used. I just went with a random grip that felt that made me most comfortable.
The only issue with this grip is that if you don't have steady hands (Like me for example) Control will be somewhat difficult. I tend to relax my hands and breath slowly so that I can control my nerves and my focus.
I also modified it where I release the mouse for a second and do a quick hand reset between team fights and I adjust my crosshair to where I want to aim next.

I kept hearing about all these different grips, like Shroud's bent pinky, TenZ's "scorpion" grip, claw, finger tip, etc.
I've always done this grip since I started gaming on PC because it just feels natural. So I'm relieved to hear that I won't have to force myself to have bad games for the sake for learning a new grip.

I thought I was doing wrong by naturally doing this. It was only rally happening when I actually got my chair and desk height perfect. Couldn’t do it properly with too much foreman pressure. Bout to max my LOD.

I find skating my fingertips with my mouse along the mousepad alone helps me aim, as I can use my fingertips sens of touch (which is a lot more precise than anywhere else on your arm), to get great feedback on how I am moving my mouse.

[rio]

This makes so much sense how this one player grips the mouse because he showed it from under and I was confused how this fingers were below the mouse

[xColdEmbrace]

wtf. I noticed an instant improvement. I've noticed that my left flicks were always better than my right. I had no idea that it was because I was intuitively doing this with my thumb. Now I'm implementing this technique with my pinky and ring finger on the right side of the mouse. Holy shit it was instant improvement. I feel like I have more control of my mouse now that I'm more conscious about this. This channel is fantastic.

[Curt_Johnston]

Funny, I was just experimenting with this without knowing it was a thing. It really does give me more control.. except when I have to use the side buttons

[TheMainEvnt]

My shit is evolving. Thank you very much dude. Changed my shut for real. It’s like aimbot once you just starting trying shit with your tension & joints and friction. It’s all about your body though.

[rabimunif]

I already used my fingertips for guiding/placement and arm(elbow to wrist) as the extension that moves from my shoulder. These 3 parts require effort lesser sequentially, IYK, YK
Effort is not necessarily movement but rather adjustment frequency, and followed up with consistent awareness of the micro movements

[vermillionranger]

I used to use this for to control higher sensitivity, works amazingly.
