Side-button smoke binds - help or crutch?

Honest bind thread. Some people treat mouse side buttons like cheating. I treat them like ergonomics. Where is the line for us?

Help. Muscle memory for lineups is the hard part, not which finger presses the key. Side button is fine.

I bind plant utility on mouse4. Faster under pressure. Comp does not care how you press the button.

As long as you are not fat-fingering a nade into our plant. Practice the bind empty-server once.

I still use number row like a fossil. Works. Do whatever keeps your aim calm.

Tried mouse4 last week. Accidental smoke mid-fight twice. Need more reps before password hour.

Document your binds if you trial. Officers should not guess why you froze looking at the keyboard.

Good enough. Shipping a short binds note in Downloads later with optional mouse4 presets. No religion attached.
