Clicking techniques
- Regular click
Press and release with one finger. Comfortable for long sessions, tops out around 5–7 CPS.
- Jitter click
Tense your forearm to vibrate your finger. Can hit 10–13 CPS — but tiring after 10 s.
- Butterfly click
Alternate two fingers on the same button. Roughly doubles the click rate versus regular clicking.
- Drag click
Drag a finger across the button so it registers multiple presses. Requires a specific mouse-shell texture.
