As a result of doing VOD Reviews, I’ve noticed people tend to have very average or above average mouse control but are held back by their ability to keyboard aim, their bimanual movements, and the mesh between mouse aim and keyboard aiming.
To start this off, we have to talk about what the movements we make with our hands in equilibrium are called. These are called bimanual movements. What are bimanual movements?
Bimanual Movements come into play when trying to both aim with your mouse and your keyboard in fluidity of each other.
Keyboard Aiming can refer to a lot of things, in this instance we’re going to talk about the typical movement variations, Mirroring and Anti-mirroring. There are in Valorant examples of keyboard aiming such as using strafe keys to make small micro corrections, but we’ll get into those a little later.
Mirroring: you go left whenever your enemy goes left, and you go right whenever your enemy goes right, that is, you press the same movement keys as the target you aim at.

Anti-Mirroring: you go right whenever (and only whenever obviously) your enemy goes left, and you go left whenever your enemy goes right, that is, you anti-mirror the movement of your enemy.

Moving and aiming at the same time are not two independent skills but rather two skills that are interdependent on each other, that is, the key to fluid and consistent aim is the ability to use your movement and mouse aim in synchronization of each other. This means that you achieve a balance of utilizing your movement to aim, and your mouse to aim. To put this into simpler terms, it means there will be times that you may micro without ever moving your mouse because it simply makes more sense to have a consistent, guaranteed micro. A good example of a player that achieves this well is Aleksandar or yay. To further extrapolate on this, let’s take a look at how yay leverages his aim to win engagements:
At the middle point of the video, around 1:50, Valorant Ascended lightly goes into how yay leverages his movement to assist in every adjustment he makes, and even to give him an advantage going into fights. Watching the way yay plays in the video shows that he uses a lot of mirroring in his aim and is very good at tracking targets without moving his mouse, only his movement, and ending his shots in a micro towards the head. The point of strafe-aiming in VALORANT is to develop a similar aim style.
