I wish I were good at videogames

Did you take SSRIs? Become a coomer? Started using a different controller? Are you more depressed?
I was a coomer when I was good at games. I am severely more depressed though only because I have grown aware of my circumstances.
FPS? Or strategy games? I can help you regain your skills in the former cuz its easy but the second is just an experience/iq issue.
FPS games. I have a feeling that mechanics in shooters are still somewhat contingent on IQ, even if the quake boomers say otherwise. At this point I think I'm too conscious of the clerical aspects of FPS mechanics and so incapable of achieving a "flow" state.

Reaction time and physical alertness most important part
After that you really only have to give effort by practicing consistently, mouse control is easy to refine.

Nope, no well-rated game features mechanics that are impossible to master as muscle memory and hone. And especially FPS, they all have the same core principles.
 
BUT you must also realize gaming equipment determines your ability handicap and so a bad setup/not being able to afford top equipment means you’ll never be the best, or if playing in highly popular franchises with active fanbases, not even decent.

I agree. I had ~170vrt a few years ago. No clue what it'd be now.

Depends on the game. Mouse control is also dependent on gear, and aim trainers don't translate well to FPS games which are movement-oriented. Games like CS or Valorant are different.

It's not about finding "top" equipment, it's about finding equipment which is compatible with your own tastes. I think that at a lower level your playstyle can be determined through entry-level handicaps like a low refresh rate. In quake-tiered games that'd mean your playstyle would become movement-oriented since you aren't leveling the surplus frames (assuming hardware which is "good enough") with server tickrate or your natural vrt, so you focus less on crosshair placement. Past that point it becomes a problem of dexterity, rote learning, pad and mouse, etc., all of which aren't easy to fix if you're handicapped into hyperfocusing on clerical aiming shit.
