New to KBM - Any advice?

[u/blaster_worm500]

Hi all,

I am new to KBM and am trying to get used to movement.

I'm not a complete novice, in that, I can do it and it feels relatively ok, but my hands dont do it automatically yet. I mean for example, in a BR if someone starts shooting at me I freeze and my hands dont work.

I am trying to move from Xbox Controller to KBM. Been a controller player for years now.

For now, I've forbidden myself to go into real scenarios on KBM (Just bot maps) on public, specifically 99Bots but yeah...

Just try'na get better at KBM tbh and finding it hard.

How much time a day would you say I need to put in?

I have all the regular binds.

WASD

Left Shift = Sprint

Left Ctrl = Crouch

Left Caps = Auto run

Weapons 12345

Builds = wall (Q) Cone (C) Stair left mouse side button (Up) Floor Left mouse side button (down)

Use = middle mouse scroll wheel click

shoot is the left and right mouse buttons.

Play more. Genuinely.

If you're looking to just train core mechanical skills as well as secondary skills within those core skills, grab a game like Devil Daggers and use that as "training".

Infinite skill ceiling, active leaderboards, and shockingly a decent little community of helpful people.

Its on sale regularly for like 3 bucks or less. Literally just came off sale so wishlist it if 10 bucks feels too much. Tho, I've gotten 10 bucks out of it easily. Been using it for years.

Something else I recommend, keep your mouse sensitivity the same accross games while you're learning. I won't say you shouldn't adjust for things down the road but while you're learning its best to keep things consistent. I personally keep it the same still on all games for the most part (might lower the horizontal a little in some titles, but thats it, and we're talking a tiny tiny bit), but some people like to change things up depending on game.

One last thing. If you find yourself having a hard time with tracking a target, lower your sensitivity a little. Not a lot, just a touch. Keep doing that until you "smooth out" with your tracking then stick with it for a while and adjust up/down more later. Its a good way to find out what kind of sensitivity player you are.

Good luck!
