why are these strange mice so good for fps games? pinguefy 2025-08-29 | i've been using these odd looking mice for nearly 5 years now, and in theory, they should be the mice with the highest aiming potential in FPS games. here's what i've found after 1000+ ingame hours of usage with them.twitter: http://twitter.com/pinguefiedsecond channel: @pinguefied my fps podcast with Viscose and MissColourz: @rawinputpodcast1 discord (for the fps podcast): discord.gg/qAhv6tT4Aui'm also not the only person to have pushed fingertip mice at this point, some awesome players are xileBF, StryduhBF, YZK_Momoca, Alievityy, paints18_, ceibacat, Ninja Atlas, neeshnoo, mira_frags, snowikit, cloverISL, MenmaPC, and OptimumTech!

this is a gaming mouse...? pinguefy 2025-06-12 | i spent a few weeks using this diabolical contraption as a mouse in fps games. full thoughts on my second channel @pinguefied !song is Confined (As You Are) by Kolja Westhues!!#fps #mouse #3dprinting
I spent a year with this odd gaming keyboard. pinguefy 2024-09-09 | hiya, i used another strange looking device for a longer period of time than any sane person should. yet again, it’s surprisingly good!! expand for a more detailed review of the product itself.this video is not sponsored and i bought the product myself, but you can use code " *pingu* " at checkout on https://www.azeron.eu/ for 5% off, which also supports me ^^ discord (it's for my aim podcast but i don't have a personal one): discord.com/invite/qAhv6tT4Autwitter: https://x.com/pinguefied/i wanted to focus on the analog aspect of the device since i think it’s the most interesting, widely applicable aspect of this device, but i left out a lot of details about the actual product as a result. good:- it is highly adjustable and has a billion screws on the underside for making it fit your anatomy.- all of the buttons are accessible and you have a ton of binds to work with.- the software is intuitive and allows you to store two profiles on the keypad for quick switching.- the build quality is solid considering it's all plastic- the learning curve is not that steep for how strange the device looks.- there’s some modding potential with their modular-ish design. kovaak 3d printed notches for wavedashing angles LOL. also good for replacement parts.- the azeron uses microswitches, like ones you’d find in a mouse. they are VERY easy to press, but have a bit of pre/post travel.- for things like doom eternal’s dash, it’s freeing to be able to dash at exact angles without requiring mouse movement. - a lot of people have the complaint that an analog stick will never be as fast at changing directions as WASD. it’s true in a literal sense, but in practice, i have never once felt like my dodge was limited by my thumb’s speed and the only game where strafing that fast makes sense is OW. i recently also learned of a feature where you are able to press a button to invert the direction of your stick. as in: hold right, your character moves right. press the bind, you move left. release the bind, you move right. this negates the downside of analog movement and can let you strafe spam similarly to nulls. bad:- there are a good amount of games that do not support simultaneous input like apex.- this device is very tall. i have a stack of towels i use to elevate my arm, but if i don’t use it, it creates some serious wrist discomfort.- some buttons are easier to reach than others. this is definitely made worse by my small hands, but there are some buttons i have never pressed because i’d have make large movements to reach them. for things you want to be pressing in combat, it’s rough.- my stick performance deteriorated over time quite a lot, it’s noticeably worse than other controllers now. natural for how long it’s been and i think you can replace it fairly easily.- the 180 bind could technically be used for counterstrafing but i can't imagine it being as consistent as keyboard.- certain techs like gdashing in gundam became inconsistent with the azeron, as any stick input while you're meant to have no movement keys pressed would kill the momentum.so who is this for? i think if analog movement works in your game of choice it's honestly a very cool feeling device. for stuff like battlefield i could take it or leave it; nice to have but by no means necessary. but for games like tf2, i actually feel nerfed going back to a keyboard. i also already have good movement compensation with a keyboard and i suspect that the azeron would make movement compensation a lot more intuitive to learn and get good at for less experienced players. it's a steep asking price, and the main selling point for me is definitely the analog feature. this is not the only way to get analog movement with mnk (namely maxxstick, hori ffxiv/tac pads, g13, or wooting. all of which suffer from some ergo issues outside of wooting), but if the customizability/binds/aesthetic appeal to you then it could be worth a consideration ^^thank you:to @ViscoseOCE, @MissColourz and @riley-cs2 for all the supportto bri for the footage in this video, hope you’re doing wellto the cool and normal gamers, ty for the kindnessto you for watching/reading!0:00 intro1:00 why does this thing exist?1:48 what is analog movement?3:06 what's special about analog movement?3:39 analog movement and the source engine4:42 THE IMPOSSIBLE STRAFE6:02 is it good in every game?8:03 is it worth it?music:Spaaaaace - Portal 2 OST Volume 3Bass String Short - Half Life OSTGreen Haven - William ClaesonMessage Between Worlds - William BenckertSong for Mystia - Twitter TohobuUpgrade Station - Team Fortress 2 OSTWinter Hibernation - Magnus LudvigssonMEDIC! - Team Fortress 2 OSTResurrections - Celeste OSTHold on You - Thorn to Liver (tysm @trevorhilton1143, please listen to the rest of his work!!)Exhale - Celeste OST
