mouse liffting

is it normal to constantly keep lifting your mouse up while playing? I started playing dbd on pc and keep lifting up my mouse all through the gameplay. idk if it's making play so bad or if I'm just bad on pc. so does anyone else do it?

    yes/no.

    There are many ways you can play. i mean you need to re-adjust your mouse anyways. You only have so much space you can move your mouse on :D

    You will get used to it and find your optimal way of playing. You can't game "wrong" as long as you use the hardware as you are supposed to :'D

    Im not doing it all the time, but if I flick onto someone as Huntress or Blight I will certainly have to re-adjust. Its a question of playstyle and DPI

    Do you have a small mousepad/mouse space? Low sensitivity? Both? Those are common reasons for having to re-adjust your mouse like that a lot. If you move your mouse as far in one direction as you can comfortably do without picking it up, how much do you turn in-game? 180 degrees, 360 degrees, more?

    There's obviously no "best sensitivity" or mouse pad size, just like wrist aiming and arm aiming is down to preference and both have upsides and downsides.

    If you find it annoying to have to re-adjust you can try upping your sensitivity so you can turn more without getting to the point where you need to re-center your mouse, and/or getting more space for your mouse to move around (bigger pad + move any obstructions that might be there if possible)

    EDIT: And there's nothing inherently wrong or bad about picking your mouse up, no matter your setup sometimes you'll probably have to do it. Just like anything else, if you do it enough you get good at doing it quickly and without disturbing your mouse movement in game too much, so moving it "cleanly" to put it that way.
