I got to watch that 5v1 live and it was absolutely amazing.

Playing goonman the past couple weeks has been a massive boon to my CS skills (not that I had much to begin with; that much is blindingly obvious to me now). I've never played CS in a comp setting before and it's exhilarating. I may never go back to Battlefield or Planetside. I just hope I get good enough to actually compete instead of being the constant canary/trade all the time. I'm still absolutely terrible with the rifles and need to load up that aim map to work on movement-weapon dynamics.

Where does it say this? It'll disable it across the board to my knowledge. I'm running Win7. Also CSGO runs on the Source engine, doesn't it?

If you have enhance pointer precision turned off and accel turned off in CSGO settings you will have 0 accel from windows or CSGO. Try running the mouse recorder that comes with the markc fix. If you still have accel showing up on the recorder it is most likely some other driver that is causing it and the fix will do nothing for that. If you have accel from your hardware that will not show up on the recorder.

I'm a very casual CS player spending what little time I play CS:GO in either casual defuse missions or just playing deathmatch, I'm a bit confused about how I'm supposed to use the AK after the most recent update, before that I could reliably get running headshots and it made sense but now the first shot seems completely random and I have to stop and wait and even crouch just to make sure I hit on target, at which time I usually get owned by someone with an AWP. what's the trick?

Genuine question, what exactly is wrong with it that makes it broken? Because I think it works fine, even if someone for whatever reason wanted to play it to "win", thats very easy to do as well.
Bit late on this, but the two biggest problems are that there is next to no incentive to use anything but the top guns, typically AWP/AUG (the score adjustments are nowhere near strong enough to offer a real tradeoff); and the random spawns which hand out craploads of free kills, either with AWP shots from your invincibility shield or simply from spawning a few seconds on the heels of someone else.

You should never be running and shooting. If you really could get consistent running ak headshots before (which is hard for me to believe) that's great I guess? But the AK recoil hasn't changed at all. All they did was make it so any movement + shooting at the same time is incredibly random at all, which is how it is supposed to be in CS.

You don't have to crouch, as long as you are not moving at all the first shot from an AK will always go to the exact spot you are aiming, and the 2nd shot will be pretty close to the same spot as well. The "proper" way to stop yourself in counterstrike is to tap the key in the opposite direction you are moving, which will bring you to a complete stop faster than just waiting for yourself to decelerate completely when you stop holding a movement key. Using the crouch/walk keys doesn't really help you at all here. There was a bug in the aug update that made pressing your walk key instantly change your movement speed instead of slowing you down to the walk, but that has since been fixed.

This is the whole point of "ADADADA" spam, where you will be completely halted at one point in between each direction change. The idea is you click at that exact spot where you are not moving, but ADADADA spam has been nerfed a lot so I wouldn't recommend trying to learn how to do it properly right now. Just practice stopping + shooting.

You can use cl_showpos 1 in your console, which will bring up a thing in the top left that will always show you your current velocity and acceleration. If you are shooting at any time your velocity isn't 0.0 you are doing it wrong.

edit:
Also, even walking and shooting pre-patch used to be somewhat viable with the M4 (not so much the AK), but the aug patch made the walking accuracy penalty about equivalent to what the running penalty was pre-patch.

Is picking up your mouse when you feel that you're out of room generally a bad habit? My mousepad is HUGE, but for some reason, I like having my mouse in the center of it so I don't use nearly the full range of motion I have. Even when I try to actually use the full mousepad space, it feels awkward. Should I keep trying to not lift off?

Just keep doing what you're doing. Keeping the mouse on the mousepad at all times feels, as you said, very awkward. As long as you have room to make at least a 90 degree turn on either side.

Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus.
I started playing this a few days ago (I did play 1.3 for a while in the early 2000s, but I've forgot everything since then). Starting to get the hang of the recoil patterns of the main two guns, but my movement is still poo poo. Still don't have the routine for quickly stopping and shooting or peeking, which tends to get me killed. Hopefully I get good enough in a few weeks to take a stab at competetive play - right now I tend to be in the top 3 of my team on casual, but obviously that doesn't tell much. Casual is just too chaotic to be that enjoyable.

You want to check if your mouse adds acceleration ( many cheap high dpi laser mice like the m500 do this) Go in game and take the sense so low that you need your entire mousepad to do a 360 then check different speeds to see if it needs the same amount of room to do a 360 at different speeds. If this is good and you like the way the mouse tracks on your pad I would not bother changing anything. If you find acceleration you can most likely fix that by buying a 15$ optical mouse like this http://www.staples.com/Microsoft-Basic-Optical-Mouse-Black/product_640467?externalize=certona

I believe the sideways keyboards are for comfort as you don't really get much space benefit until the keyboard is rotated well past 45 degrees.

So you don't need to straighten your arm awkwardly to keep your fingers on WASD. I actually have a keyboard that has a slanted section for common shooter keys. If you ever get this keyboard you can never go back.

There are also the players that use a different control scheme than WASD because they feel cramped/uneasy with using the left side of the keyboard since the keys are all on a slant and they might hit the wrong key. Using the number-pad gives them a more consistent sight-unseen sense of direction.

Are the autoexec settings for tick rate in the OP okay enough for matchmaking? I know it was a much larger deal in the previous games and I heard the tickrate of MM servers is 64.

Seriously join the steam group. It has hugely benefitted my CS experience.

That fact that decent peeps are willing to let me improve slowly by dragging their asses down round after round (tip for the day: don't block doors) instead of playing MM with pubbies is a testament to how good that steam group is.
