Aim Trainer
Hit 30 targets as fast as you can. Speed and accuracy both count.
What does an aim trainer measure?
This aim trainer tests how quickly and precisely you can move the cursor to a target and click it. You'll chase 30 targets that appear one at a time at random positions; we track your average time per target in milliseconds and your accuracy, the share of your clicks that actually landed on a target. Lower time per target is better, and the ⚡ Lightning tier starts under 500 ms.
How this test works
Press Start, then click each volt-green dot as it appears. A new target spawns the instant you hit the last one, so there's no waiting. Clicks that miss the target count against your accuracy, so resist the urge to spam. Controlled, deliberate clicks score higher than frantic ones.
How to improve your aim
Find a mouse sensitivity (DPI) that lets you cross the arena with one comfortable movement of the wrist or forearm, then stick with it so your muscle memory can build. Flick to the target and stop. Don't drift past it and correct back. Keep your grip relaxed. Practising short, focused sessions improves both your speed and your consistency, and your best is saved on your device.
Time-per-target benchmarks
| Avg. time per target | Rating | What it implies |
|---|---|---|
| Over 1,200 ms | Learning | Still finding a workable sensitivity |
| 800–1,200 ms | Average | Typical for casual mouse users |
| 600–800 ms | Good | Regular gamer with settled settings |
| 500–600 ms | Fast | Practiced FPS player |
| Under 500 ms | Exceptional | Competitive flick speed — ⚡ tier |
Judge the two numbers together: 550 ms at 98% accuracy is a far better aimer than 480 ms at 80%, because in a real game every miss has a cost.
Getting your sensitivity right
Aim consistency starts with settings, not wrists. The number that matters iseDPI — mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity — and the consistent pattern across professional FPS players is that it's lower than beginners expect: most pros need a 25–35 cm arm swipe for a full turn. Lower sensitivity trades turning speed you rarely need for the precision you always need. A quick method: set 800 DPI, run this trainer at your current sens, then at half, then at double — one of the three will feel and score clearly best, and you can bisect from there in fifteen minutes. Thenlock it in; muscle memory only accumulates on a setting that stops changing. The full breakdown of DPI, polling rate and acceleration is in themouse settings guide.
Flicking vs tracking
This test measures flicking: snap to a static target, stop, click — the skill that decides tactical shooters. Its sibling is tracking, keeping your crosshair glued to a moving target, which leans on smooth wrist control and matters more in hero shooters. They're trained separately, and being good at one doesn't automatically transfer. A balanced warm-up used by many FPS players: one run of this trainer slow and deliberate at 100% accuracy, one run at full speed, then areaction test to wake up the response loop — raw reflex is its own layer under aim, and it has its own benchmarks. Finish with Coreball if you want timing under pressure on top.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the aim trainer score work?
- You click 30 targets that appear one at a time. The test measures your average time per target and your accuracy, so both speed and precision count toward your result.
- What is a good time per target?
- Under one second per target is a good baseline. Under 700 ms is fast, and under 500 ms is Lightning tier, the kind of flick speed competitive FPS players train for.
- How can I improve my aim?
- Find a mouse sensitivity you can repeat consistently, move from the wrist and forearm rather than the fingers for large flicks, and stop your cursor on the target instead of overshooting. Short daily sessions build muscle memory.
- Does mouse sensitivity matter?
- A lot. A consistent DPI and in-game sensitivity let you build reliable muscle memory. Most players do best somewhere between low and medium sensitivity.
- What is eDPI?
- eDPI is your mouse DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity, which makes settings comparable between players. Most professional tactical-FPS players sit around 700 to 1,000 eDPI, lower than most casual players expect.
- Should I train flicking or tracking?
- This test trains flicking: snapping to a static target and stopping. Tracking, keeping the crosshair on a moving target, is a separate skill that matters more in hero shooters. Train the one your game rewards.
