Lighter honeycomb mouse actually made my flicks faster, is this legit or placebo?

[Henry Collins]

Hey guys, long-time lurker, first time posting. I’ve been AWPing in CS2 for years and always felt stuck in my flicks no matter how much I practiced 180s on the aim trainer. I recently swapped from my old solid-shell mouse (was like 95g, the classic chunky one) to one of those honeycomb-lattice models around 68g. Honestly I was skeptical at first, thought lighter mice were just a gimmick for people who want to flex on the specs. But after a few weeks I genuinely feel like I can snap to targets way quicker and recover from a missed shot and correct mid-swipe without the thing plowing past my crosshair. My friends say I’m just imagining it because I bought new gear. Anyone else actually feel a difference, or is the weight thing overrated for competitive play?
