Yes, the affect on your aim is (approximately) -0.351% per degree.

Play with whatever is comfortable for you )

You can test it in Ql accel driver. It has an angle option.

Also, the Pixart PMW3310DH sensor has angle tuning built into its feature set according to the data sheet, which is utilised by the Mionix Avior 7000 drivers and probably other guys using the 3310 at the moment.

It's fine. I started out holding the mouse on an horizontal plane (" -- ", some kind of a weird russian style) and have been playing like this " \ " for years ;)

Whatever feels comfortable for you.

That's the stuff.

That was beautiful. I logged in at a different location to [+]

use telekinesis to move mouse.

similar problem to this guy.

still not convinced it isn't a disadvantage to hold my mouse like this.

I remember this thread, but guess i didn't read some of the last posts. #37

Angle Snapping wasn't meant for compensating a generaly tilted position of the mouse.

It wasn't invented by some mouse manufacturer either but by a specific sensor manufacturer, Logitech in fact didn't know their mice had it.

Edit:

It also does nothing when your mouse is more than slightly tilted (>5° or so)

Interesting. I think bst should add this to the NINOX driver (as we don't get the anglesnapping feature, as promised ;P)

does anyone else hold their mouse like this? Can't really enjoy the game at the moment as I'm so obsessed with how I'm holding my mouse

Yeah I kinda have the bottom right of my EC1 in the right ish side of my palm + my pinky. Top left (just a bit more forward than under the side buttons) is gripped by thumb and forefinger(on mouse 1 button ofc). Also means the bottom left is kinda gripped by the left side of my palm in sort of a cupping manner.

Not sure if I can explain it any better lol. But its a mix between light palm grip and fingertip grip. Wrist aiming for most of it and slight arm movement when sweeping for fast movement/180's. Around 20cm/360, no accel.

Being more comfortable will enhance your game, productivity and sex life.

This is how I hold my mouse with my wrist straight as you can see the mouse is on an angle. Held every mouse like this as it feels the most stable to me. Does this look detrimental to my accuracy?

no, that's fine. take a look at the pic posted above, while it's in jest that are some of the best players to have ever touched quake and look how fucked their setup looks.
i've been playing 10+ years with an angled mouse (the other way around: \ ) and my aim has always been way above average.

if you don't believe me go on a youtube hunt and watch out for eswc/cpl videos of people playing quake.

Had same thing years ago even at higher extend having mice held almost 90 degrees to the left. As i discovered later this was happening unconsciously to compensate win acceleration somehow which wasnt disabled at the time. Later on this habbit was transfered when i disabled accel. But through years of playing this way it somehow naturally stabilised to be holding straight. Cant say my aim was bad at times when accel was off but grip was still angled- was kinda sucessfull instagibber. Maybe what u lose a bit with this grip is somekind of correlation between level architecture and crosshair movements. Like when its raw and straight u get a better sense of posessing urself and ur crosshair specilly in close combat, Also from ur foto that angle doesnt look that crucial and shouldnt affect game experience too much.
