Just to see if I got that right: you basically set the fire button key on the keyboard instead of a mouse click and it made it easier to aim? Is this a common technique among pro players?
That makes sense. "Trigger control" is hard so moving the trigger to another hand guarantees you won't click with too much pressure adding unwanted movement to the mouse.
Yes. Like left shift instead of left mouse click.
And I honestly don't know.
i feel like this set up would be best in a game that is very spammy with mouse clicks, say Minecraft 1.8 pvp. i don't know how those people do it, but given 2 keys to press on my left hand rather than 1 on my mouse, i could maybe stand a chance with the clicks per second.
Indeed. Theres also burst firing, which can get significantly easier/more "natural". Or when you are an old chap like me who panicks all the time, lessening the effect quite significantly as well.
It's not common. Most use the default config if shootinh with leftclick.
Shooting on space or another keyboard key i only saw with arena shooter players and it was single digit amount of people.
