Ever wanted to click that cookie faster or shoot that gun faster? Many people find the problem of not being able to click fast enough! Read below to improve your clicking!

Steps

1
Practice clicking techniques. Practice clicking techniques such as Jitter clicking or Butterfly clicking. These methods involves rapid finger muscle spasms in order to click faster. There are several online video tutorials to learn more on this.
2
Use a mouse instead of a laptop trackpad. Using a mouse to click can help you click faster than the click that is done using the laptop cursor. This is because of the hand position and the science involved in clicking.

3
Use the keys well. Remember the keys and be alert to press it when needed. (for example if you press left mouse clicker when you were pressing right mouse clicker)
4
Position your hand properly. Get your mouse ready, and place your pointer finger on the left (or right) mouse clicker. Make sure it is either at a large slant or straight up and down.
- Keep your finger near the mouse, and between clicks, don't take your finger very far away from your mouse, or even keep your finger on the mouse.
- Click lightly. You don't want to put to much pressure on the mouse, or it can slide out of position. Even worse, it can slow the speed of your clicks.
- Be sure to have a good grip or the mouse can slide out of your hand.
- Make sure your hand is not doing something else, like scrolling.
- If you are not doing anything else, and have your other hand free, you can use both hands. Put both of your fingers on your mouse, and alternate clicking between your hands. Get a rhythm in your head, and put it into your fingers.
- If you still are not clicking fast enough try an auto-clicker, if it's allowed in what you are doing. Some gaming servers don't allow auto-clickers. If it is allowed, then download one and follow the instructions on how to use it.
5
Choose the proper mouse, like a gaming mouse. A good choice is a Razer mouse. Other preferable gaming mice companies are Logitech, Cyborg, Mad Catz,Steel Series etc.
- Keep practicing, keep playing games, go online to check your clicks per minute.
6
Use games to practice clicking.
- Try the game Osu on PC. This game trains up your reaction times so you can actually see something at a faster speed than normal; this is usually for gamers.
- Try out some FPS games. They greatly involve reaction times and some games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive can get your reactions times to a new level.
- Play around with other games; search up reaction time games and play around with them!You can try copter game online.
7
Practice clicking.
- Download a mouse clicking software. There are many free and paid software such as GS auto-clicker that can click the mouse. If you own a Razer mouse, you can download Razer Synapse, and set up your own auto-clicking program, and bind it to an extra button.
- Set up a clicking macro to click automatically for you. Some mice don't support macros but many gaming mice do.

Community Q&A

Question

Why does my shield come up when I am PVPing on Hypixel without right-clicking?

Eric Ponce

Community Answer

Sometimes, when you're clicking too fast, the button on the right goes down along with the left. You might also be lightly hitting it with your other finger.
Question

Will clicking faster help with Minecraft PVP?

Community Answer

It will ONLY if the server has old PVP mechanics (1.7-1.8). If you play 1.9 PVP and the server doesn't have a plugin which enables old mechanics, you won't do damage because of the cool down.
Question

I can only click really fast when I hold the mouse with one hand and use the other to click. How can I do this with my mouse on a surface?

Eric Ponce

Community Answer

Hold the back part of the mouse with one hand (the part that has no button), then use your other hand's finger to click.

Warnings

In some games, they cap out the click speed, meaning that you don't have to click extremely quickly.

Take a rest every once in a while. Don't click too much or you can hurt your hand.

Some gaming servers ban people that use auto-clickers, so make absolutely sure one is allowed.

Be careful some games such as CS:GO have an oversampling game mechanic, if you click quickly you can actually go slower.

Don't break your mouse! If you click too hard you can crack or make it fall off of the surface you're using it on.

Make sure your mouse is in the middle of the platform you're using it on, this way it won't bang into any obstacles or fall off the platform.
