ok so genuine question because i genuinely cannot wrap my head around this. why are people out here buying control pads and control skates like its going to magically fix their aim in a tacfps?? like the minimum you should be on is a Raiden or a glass pad. that is the floor. anything slower than that and you are actively compensating for bad mouse control and bad technique and you just dont know it yet. slow pads do the deceleration work FOR you. your hand does a lazy swipe and the pad catches your mouse and stops it for you and you think "wow great aim" but all you did was let the surface carry you. you never actually build real tension control or flick precision because you never NEED to. the pad is babysitting your movement. on a fast surface there is nothing catching you. the mouse goes where your hand tells it to go, full stop. that means you are forced to actually develop proper technique; controlled tension, deliberate flick stops, smooth tracking. it is harder at first but that is literally just called learning. and tracking on fast surfaces is on another level once it clicks. like when there is zero friction fighting your movements your tracking becomes so smooth and natural. you stop death gripping, you stop overcorrecting, everything just flows. it genuinely feels like cheating once you get there. yes the first week or two will feel awful. yes you will miss shots you used to hit. that is not a sign to go back to your slow pad, that is your muscle memory recalibrating. grind the fundamentals in kovaaks, and let your technique catch up to the surface. the pad should be a neutral tool, not a crutch. if your pad is doing work for you, you are not actually improving your mouse control.

anyway flame me in the comments i guess lol but i am not going back to slow ahh surfaces and bad technique
