tap strafe not working
Last night I was playing Apex with some friends and I was tap strafing fine. I have been utilizing tap strafes for almost a year now so I am pretty good at it. But once I got off to eat dinner and go...

Check your mouse, is it in battery conservation mode or something that makes the poll frequency drop. 60 deg sounds like 2w worth of tap strafe, while the nerf they talked about coming was around 3w while now you can do 5w, sounds like your mousewheel dont register as many w's as before. Did you get a driver update, or something like that to the mouse?
I would check out the general settings for polling rate on the mouse, same with optimized battery mode can do the same. That is my suspicion atleast, it has to do with how many "clicks" you can do with the wheel that limits your tap strafe to 60deg
@Zkepz I have checked all of those and they havent helped its almost like there is a delay to the tap strafe. It feels like there is a delay in the registry when i scroll down and once again its not my mouse cuz the same problem applies to all of them.
Sounds like Microsoft handles the mouse so you get unintended latency. Check if you can use mouse's software to replace ms stuff
I had a bit of the same problem when I lowered my sensitivity, needed to retrain all timing and movement to get everything back and running again
- @Zkepz once again the mouse isnt the problem since i used it to 180 tap strafe many times out the box and I also have its software. All low powermodes settings are off and the polling rate is at a 1000hz.
Nothing more then when I upgraded to Windows 11 all hell broke loose, amongst other things ms software for mouse took over so I had a few days of cleanup until stuff worked again.
Any update can mess up a myriad of things so just asking you to check ☺️
