Micro Aiming for more Headshots

Micro aiming corrects misses and allows you to land those headshots when engaging in long-range fights when the player model is super tiny.

Micro aiming requires the finest of touch and feel with the fingertips, these are what you rely upon - here's a few tips on how to improve your micro aiming.

Engage your finger tips, especially the side fingers.

I personally use my thumb and pinky to press into the mouse to add stability and control. For long range fights, I increase the pressure about 2 or 3 notches more.

The analogy is if you were writing on paper with super small font size, you'd increase your finger pressure onto the pen. It's very difficult to write small font with a light grip pressure.

Dig your fingertips into the mouse pad (cloth).

I like to dig my pinky and thumb into the mousepad just a little bit as this adds a 'breaking' effect. I press my side fingers into the cloth which adds stability and feel for moving the mouse just a few pixels.

If you can't see, you can't hit.

When micro aiming, you're generally aiming at a small target, so its critical that you can actually see the player's head and using a crosshair that allows you to visually line it up.

Smaller crosshairs like the dot, are recommend if for precision headshots, compared to a big crosshair that creates margin for error.

Try placing your monitor closer to your eyes if you're near-sighted. It's like zooming in real life.

Resolution and aspect ratio makes a difference. Experiment with one that allows you to see the player models head. Choose settings that helps contrast the player models head from the map environment. This also means color, contrast, brightness, etc.
