Like others say it definitely takes practice. Also make sure you have auto aim or aim assist on.

Saying that one thing that can help is taller thumbsticks and lower sensitivity settings. Either the elite controller can do this, or you can buy grips which are thick enough to add extra height.

You just have to keep doing it and eventually you get better at it. You'll NEVER be as good as keyboard/mouse but you'll eventually get good enough to play with everyone else doing the same thing.

Turn on aim-assist in the options and don't feel bad about it. The open secret is that every console-based FPS does some degree of aim-assist. They have to as the input just isn't precise enough. Turning on aim assist actually just adds a little more. It's never actually off.

Yes. That would be my recommendation. Your laptop gives you access to the same games as a Series S (although, so does an Xbox One).

However, if you just want to have an Xbox. You might as well save and get the Series X. It'll actually be cheaper than the S over the course of its lifespan, and it's a more capable system. The Series S has abysmal storage. The storage upgrade is proprietary, so it's super expensive.

The Series S is also digital only. The Series X will allow you to find dirt cheap (sometimes free) games for way less than digital sales. Games that you can also resale or trade. If you find/borrow/trade for a few games that are otherwise $40-$70 digitally and add that to the $150 - $200 memory, then you've basically covered the $300 price difference. In addition, you have a better system.

I think the Series S is a cool system for its size and capability. But I think it's most effective in the hands of people who don't game much or have more than a couple of games stored at once. It might be a good, low cost gift from a parent to a kid who might be getting into gaming but isn't 100% sure. That kind of thing. For someone who games frequently and has multiple systems already, I don't really see the point in it.

It's about the same number of games but not exactly the same games. Most are the same but gamepass pc has some pc games and the Xbox version had some xbox games that aren't on the pc version.

PC game pass is $60 cheaper per year at $10 a month.

I have a PC with Gamepass and a PS5 with PS Plus Premium. Imo, you do not need a Series S.
