1:45 No cap, that fan example was my lightbulb moment. Thanks!

I actually recently started doing Kovaak's tracking mode and can confirm that focusing intently on the target is probably the most important thing. It was insane how much my tracking improved from that.

That analogy with the fan was brilliant. It really puts things into perspective.

On the topic of focusing on the target, I recently found out how much having a high refresh rate monitor helps with that. I went from a bad 60hz monitor with heaps of ghosting to a rather nice 165hz monitor. It feels as if the targets are slowed down. This was especially apparent in faster more chaotic games. It makes it far easier to calculate your shots and overall just keep track of the situation.

You hit the nail on the head as far as looking at a target vs focusing. When I lose battles it’s because I’m just looking

For the focusing target part, avoid "predicting" or trying to shoot in the future, actually focus on the target

If you have the time at some point. Would you consider making a video about yourself? I only knew a little bit and recently found out more about how you originally started playing fps games and then how the lack of effective aim training in games made you decide to create your aim trainer. I would be super interested in a csgo pro spotlight style "the story of (dont know your first name) kovaak" Or "The creation of kovaaks" I feel like a lot of people know of the aim trainer but the casual players or even some more frequent users font really know much about you. Also the insights you have on this channel are brilliant and deserve more recognition, plus they could really help a lot of people. If you dont have the time or dont want to create this kind of video, i want to say thank you for all the time and effort you put into advancing aim training and helping others out, we appreciate your efforts more than you know.

for the love of god please share your visual settings kovaaks! the orange bot and dark grey walls are so easy on the eyes

I just want to add warmup/stretching your arm and hand to the list. It made the difference for me. I spent hours and hours on aim training and gaming trying to fix jittery aim with no results. Just made it worse. I even lowered my sensitivity tremendously and switched to palmgrip wich helped a bit but took a huge toll on my playstyle. After I started to stretch before and every hour or two while gaming I realized how tense my arm and hand have been and now I'm actually going back to higher sensitivity and old grip and I'm confident I can improve and make progress.

Really big tip too is to de-tense. It will help you avoid exhaustion and produce more consistant results especially when perfected.

I find a lot of time when I end up missing more, its because I'm busy looking at my crosshair and trying to make sure my aim is "good" rather than looking at the target and actually hitting my shots

My aim improved a lot once I heard about actually focusing on the target i always worried more qbout the reticle instead of mind muscle connection if that makes sense 👌

This is a pretty good start! Nice video

Step one: take a fucking shower KovaaK's is savage 🔥

Just maybe a tip with the focus one. Focus on a specific spot of the enemy I normally focus around the neck. In kovaaks per example I will focus on the very top part of the cones. Also this is more of a personal thing when playing music while playing, I prefer listening to soft beats etc things that calm you down, makes me more consistent since im calmer. Ofc for the others the hype of some hard beats will help but in my opinion that hype doesnt last more than 5 minutes and the burn out hits faster.

1:23 I can vouch for this ive always played on 270 degrees or less per mousepad swipe. Recently got back into FPS after almost 3 years, my aim got really bad and Ive not had to work on it this hard since I started FPS gaming.

Thank you for telling others to wash your hands and arms before playing. Not only does it get rid of that "humidity" feeling but it increases the life of your pad by a lot. However, your arm and hands can get dry quickly, so moisturize after playing 🙃

yo that first tip is money. subbed, thank you.

I really like ur kovaaks background

you had a lot of big brain explanations in this, then i see its the official kovaaks channel, but yeah this was really helpful

THANKS I NEED THIS

Do you have a video on customizing your kovaaks scene the way you have it setup? thats so cool and I wanted to know how/what you used for them? So much more interesting than a gray background

I like your tutorials Very much

that ceiling fan trick worked thanks!

Nice informative video

Apex is such a good example of when I do this, It's the only game I do it in. (since warzone is similar combat it happens sometimes in warzone but not as much.)

Thanks!

on the topic of friction between forearm and mouse mat, I know it might sound ridiculous but for people that have some hair under their forearm, when you start playing regularly what ends up happening is that the hair starts breaking and gets shorter and ultimately it increases friction, a simple solution for that is just to shave the portion of your forearm that contacts with the mouse mat. Unless you're a total bear no one will notice lol :D

Thanks for fixing

yo kvk what the visual and graphic setting u used for Smoothness Training 60 its look pretty welcoming

This is going to apply to barely anybody but I hope I can help some people, some are unable to fully control the tension in their fingers and or arm and will tense up uncontrollably, for those people you should be playing on a mid/hard pad so you aren't pushing your mouse into the soft surface of your pad and causing jittery aim.

Hey all, if you're noticing extreme shaking in games I recommend getting tested for Essential Tremors. I got diagnosed and, now that I know what causes the shaking, I'm much less frustrated these days when I underperform in games.

Wish I've seen this video sooner. My main problem was focus where I had this thing where I could only do so after smoking (more relaxed and less stress) or at least that's what I thought at the time. I've been actually focusing on my targets and whatever I had going on where I thought I could only play while high has been this all along. Sober gaming is the way.

The focus on target thing It will be easy for both eyes open shooters. Cuz u have to learn this technique in order to fire a gun with both eyes open irl

I feel like my awareness, reaction, and snap accuracy are generally really good. But I have a degenerative neurological disease where impulse conductivity between nerve endings degrades in the hands and feet. My feet are pretty much dead, but my hands are still good. One of the side-effects of the specific sub-type of the disease is shakiness, which has become worse in recent years. So the point of my info dump is to give a backdrop of my fine aiming issues DESPITE my decent abilities with everything else. I tend to get the first shot off in PvP on an opponent, but they tend to get the kill because my reticle is CONSTANTLY dancing ear to ear, causing shots to fly by just past either side of their head when trying to correct aim, hahaha. Frustrating as hell and I've yet to find settings to help minimize the effect. Everything's either too fast or too slow in the various combination of settings I've tried 😅

Sleep well, eat well, drink well and make sure your air quality is decent. Basically make sure you're actually functioning well.

having sore muscles and putting very high pressure on the mouse as a habit that resulted from sore arms was my biggest problem.

Realizing that I wasn't actually tracking with my EYES made a huge difference when I started doing it.

When doing the tracking course on Kovaak’s that you showcased at the end. Am I meant to be tracking it with my wrist or whole arm.

i would REALLY recomend to learn surf in c.s that's how i got smooth

What aim trainer is being used in the video if you know. (Btw great video)

This guys aim is too good

It is always said that when you aim you look at the target, but I don't know if you have to look at it 100% or not

My aim was jittery, I used Kovaaks, tracking training. I hated it at first, but it got easier to track. Since we're not WZ streaming pros, we actually have to practice to get guud.

I usually go to intermidiate and advanced playlist. Would you suggest those amoothness challenges are the best way to find your sens? I just dropped 40+grams off my mouse with a starlight and got a new mouse pad so im having trouble readjusting

I have had aim labs for a few days but bought KovaaKs today. I heard good things about it. My plan is not to be the best in the world but I want to have a chance when it comes to FPS :)

this vid helped me a lot, when he said look at the target, i understand and it actually worked , deserve a like (NOT A BOT BTW REAL PERSON LOL)

I believe genetic sensitivity to caffeine is highly overlooked when trying to smooth out your aim.

does kovaaks have a program to calibrate mouse settings and sens? like it records my gameplay and tells me if i need to lower in game sens because of shakiness or need to raise it to tracking faster?

My aim used to be pretty on point. My chair had an arm rest that sat *slightly* higher than the table, so my arm was raised slightly and my natural posture left my arm kinda mostly dangling off the side of the arm rest, offering little resistance. Was great times. My aim has been trash ever since I broke that chair out of rage in World of Tanks.....

how did you get kovaaks looking like that?

Certified hood classic🖤 Thanks for the tips!

my entire shirt is a sport sleeve lol

Did i understand it right? More fokus on Crosshair instead of the enemy?

iv just moved over to pc and thats my main problem rn

I feel like maybe I’m doing more of the looking at than focussing, I’ve been doing eye exercises and in apex 1v1s I’ve been trying to follow the target to better read them, but after this I’m thinking that maybe I’m not actually focussing on them properly. The ceiling fan concept makes sense, so essentially I can still look around with my peripheral vision but still be able to read the target?

Reduce friction is the hardest one

I need that wingman skin at 2:10

when i track to the left my hands are fine, to the right though my hands start shaking like crazy

god tip

Although this is a great video and all of the points are valid, it missed a CRUCIAL element: mouse grip. I've played pro CS 1.6 (last tournament literally 18 years ago) and recently I was trying to learn CSGO and play a bit. I was disappointed on how bad and shaky my aim was, and thought it was due to my, uh, "experienced" age. But no, I actually fixed it with a proper grip. Turns out that 18 years without playing a competitive fps and working on software made me default to a claw grip that did not give me nearly enough stability for playing a precise game like Counter-Strike. (For those interested I'm currently using a "hybrid claw/palm" grip, or "aggressive claw" grip which gives me a lot of stability and stopping power, plus it helps locking in horizontal axis which is very good for CS - but there's no "best" grip as it depends on your phisiology and choice of gear as well as the style of game you're playing)

Idk I feel like I've been focusing on my target all this time? Its trying to track them when they are strafing that is the most difficult thing as that seems to always be the case for me.

also having more of your palm on your mouse helps as well since your hand is covering more surface area to control the mouse

shoot me if u catch me wearing a sports sleeve for games

What if I just have really bad nerves and can’t make fine adjustments? Is there a way to train my nerves to soothe?

I was like: Yo this dude sound exactly like Struth

Difference in looking and tracking is easier when you aren't doing anything and just focusing on the target but its way harder when you have to move around and move your mouse

is it normal to put the entire arm on the desk? ^^ i never thought of that . my wrist is at the start of the desk

I have a question that applies to all aim trainers, inside the aim trainer settings you can set the ads sens and the hip fire sens but everyone seems to do the various scenarios without aiming, so if the whole point is building muscle memory, we should aim? Or not? Or we should make the 1x ads sens in game equal to the hip fire sens?

Kovaaks crash when I try to play the Juggling Aimer scenario for some reason.

unironically dropped to 125hz polling rate and my god i dont shake around as much it sounds troll but actually try it out

the video is so useful but there is competitive games like warzone needs to have fast movement + good aim so how to mix between 2 of them when choosing the best sens for game like i play on 800 dpi and 5 sens i feel like aim is good the problem is my 360 degree view is much slower than making sens 10 it's kinda shaking of aim but makes me move 360 easier so what should i choose Peace

Anyone know how to get that wall at 1:13? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you aren't tensing your rist when you aim that was my problem

what can i do if my tracking is smoother when its from right to left than left to right ??

What sens should i use when playing smoothness training 60?

So my eyes tend to lose track of targets. How do I isolate this so I can practice just that.

First tip bro just tells us to take a shower im dead

my main problem is that i look at something with my own eyes instead of placing the crosshair over that thing

This video won’t play for some reason. I figured it was just my connection, but every other video I click on plays just fine. This one just stays black screen/buffering symbol when I touch the video to “pause or play” it. Really weird. Edit: Just tried to view some of your other videos and none of them will play.

Is it ok if I use Aimlabs?

W video

theme?

I use Aim Lab

2:30 anyone know the settings to make the targets glow like this on Kovaaks????

any possible way i train my mouse and keyboard aim on ps4?

Didn’t think about that.. focusing on you’re target will improve am.. we are always focused on our scope if that makes sense

Also workout your arms

Problem is I don’t have a bigger table and everything is cramped so i suffer with wrist problems 💀

I have this but I do vr

Do you know what i can do because im left handed and im jittery

Is this optimum tech?

Does this apply to projectile aim?

As if the player in the multiplayer videos is locking on targets lol

I still feel like i get stuck with my arm with sleeve on cloth pads. I mostly notice on smoothness tho. Guess i just gotta live with being a bit shaky🧐

How do i practice aim on console with kbm

I don’t understand the blade part, when I look in the middle I can see all of em move without blur. Also the shaking hands is a lot better know

If only kovaaks aim trainer was on console

the funny things is that you're showing apex clips but, with Apex you kinda want jittery aim with auto weapons for no recoil

как же он трекает, господи, как же он прекрасен
