    Interesting project! I am relatively skilled at FPS with a mouse, but would like to improve with my trackball (so that I don't have to change my setup when playing an FPS). This could cone in handy, though I imagine that there aren't multiple "mouse profiles" built-in? It could be useful for players to understand how much of a difference different mice make.

      Hi, thanks for the feedback! Multiple mouse profiles isn't something I considered, but I'll definitely look into it. I know a lot of FPS gamers are super particular and switch between mice/mousepads/skates constantly, so it would probably help to provide a semi objective measurement of what setup they're doing best on as well

      Even with "reduce motion" enabled the background of this page is constantly animating - it's so distracting I just gave up.

      I enjoyed this. Does the same theory apply to a gamepad? My intuition says yes but curious what you think

      Haven’t had the chance to use it use it yet, but the writeup on it is super cool.

      Encourage anyone to check it out

    CS 1.6 scouts and knives was the ultimate aim trainer
