How to Aim Better in Video Games: Proven Tips to Improve Accuracy and Reflexes

Good day from the Free American Gaming Human Resources department. We at Free American Gaming understand the importance of improving your aim in video games. That is how we reached number on in everything - every time. And you too can reach that level. Improving your aim comes down to improving your technique as you game. These techniques include improving your posture, holding the mouse properly, and adjusting your screen for maximum exposure. Here is "How to Aim Better in Video Games: Proven Tips to Improve Accuracy and Reflexes".

Fix Your Posture

Firstly, maintaining the right posture is essential in to get better aim. Now, we at Free American Gaming takes our performance far more seriously than our health, so don't expect to be tricked into believing that you should be sitting up straight, at a 90 degree angle, eyes level on the screen, etc. That's all a trick to hinder your gaming performance and there's real science to back this up.

Above is an example of the ideal posture for gaming. This is called the logarithmic spiral, known as The Logarithmic Gaming Posture, which is the mathematically superior sitting position. The Logarithmic Gaming Posture is also the physiologically superior method in improving your aim. Your body constantly uses up energy and you need that energy to focus on your aim. The ideal gaming posture is the one that utilizes the least amount of energy possible so that you can focus all that on the game.

Using the Right Mouse

The next thing to min-max is your mouse. Mastering the mouse is essential to mastering your aim and flicking like a true Free American Gamer. Now, the problem with the modern gamer is that they refuse to consider science in their aim. As you may already know, flicking is an essential element in not only aiming, but also in making epic trickshots. The problem is that you are flicking wrong.

Give this exercise a try. Hold your hand out in the air as if you are holding your mouse. Then try to flick your wrists side-to-side. Note how far you can flick side-to-side. Now, turn your hand as if you are about to shake your hand. Now move your wrist side-to-side. Notice how much more you can move from simply changing your hands position.

The ideal mouse for the modern gaming world is the vertical mouse. This the anatomically superior mouse that optimally takes advantage of the entire arm. Allowing you to move in ways that no other gamer with a horizontal mouse could ever move. As such, Free American Gaming recommends the switch to the vertical mouse as it will be essential in improving your aim. Hence, giving you better aim.

Adjust Your Screen

Finally, adjusting your screen is absolutely essential in ensuring that you can see everything at all times. Now, holistic sciences will lie by saying that you should be 2 feet away from the screen and your eyes should be centered on a slightly upward angle screen. That's wrong!

The ideal method that takes full advantage of the Logarithmic Gaming Posture is to bring the screen close enough to take over your full field of vision while also being centered at your eye level. This allows your eyes to take in all the information of the game without any outside distractions.

To wrap up, by simply taking advantage of your anatomy you should automatically see a 67% improvement in your aim. This includes utilizing the Logarithmic Gaming Posture to reduce energy consumption, using a vertical mouse for maximum efficiency, and adjusting your screen to take advantage of the your full field of view.

As such, you will get better aim by simply following what a Free American Gamer does. Free American Gaming prides itself in using science to make their aim better.
