so guys i've been always interested in doing many strafes even tho i did many 9 strafes on lj and 14 strafes on ladder i couldn't improve it many people said thats the main thing is keyboard but when i bought arctosa it became even worse i cant even normally do 7 strafes atm and im having problems with them, so i want to hear some advices from strafeacers about making more strafes and syncing them properly .

btw when i asked ckatihkoo he said that his secret is PIANO but im playing on piano either its not helping that much tbh :)

id say to make good 8-10 strafes you just need to find the "rythm" in strafing and not just mashing buttons and swinging the mouse.
And about the arctosa, if you recently bought it it'll probably take a week or two to get used to the buttons depth and respons time, had the same problem when i played with my lycosa

oh, and another thing about just mashing buttons.
Mashing buttons and spamming strafes usually ends up that you'll miss 1-2strafes with either the mouse or the keyboard giving huge losses in maxspeed

about arctosa i have it like 2 months and still with arctosa my bhop skills improved Insanely i mean i can do bkz_goldbhop in 1:30 if i'll do everything correctly and my speed is always good but the problem is that the keyboard i had was 64 ms and arctosa is 1ms keyboard as u know so changing the ms provoked my gain and i got huge losses in maxspeed as u said whenever itry to make more then 7 strafes im failing . some people said that the by the time i would get my strafes back but the problems is that still im stuck in same strafes all the time once in week i manage to do 270 dcj and i feel happy and that sucks totally tbh even tho i cant make proper 6 strafes

Even tho i played constantly with the lycosa for a month i never managed to learn how to gain properly with it, and i was also kinda stuck on 7-8strafes, were only able to do 8-10 when i did sideways jumps. But then i prefer buttons with a little more depth in them.
You could If its possible try out another keyboard from a friend or something just to see if it'll change anything in strafing, thats what i did
