How to Use Our Aim Trainer Tool

Our trainer is designed to be simple to start but offers options to tailor your practice. Select a mode, choose your settings, and click “Start” to begin the session.

Game Mode: Choose the specific aiming skill you want to practice.
- Flicking/Click-Timing: Targets appear instantly in random locations. Your goal is to “flick” your mouse to the target and click it as quickly and accurately as possible. This is essential for games like Valorant and CS:GO.
- Tracking: A single target moves across the screen. Your goal is to keep your crosshair on the target for as long as possible. This skill is critical for games like Apex Legends, Overwatch, and Call of Duty.
- Precision: Targets are much smaller, forcing you to make fine, precise mouse adjustments. Excellent for practicing long-range shots.
Duration: Select the length of your training session. Common choices are 30, 60, or 120 seconds. Shorter durations are great for warm-ups, while longer sessions are better for endurance training.
Target Size: Adjust the size of the targets. Start with “Medium” or “Large” if you’re new. As you improve, challenge yourself with “Small” targets to hone your precision.

Understanding Your Results

Once your session is complete, you’ll see a scoreboard with several key performance indicators (KPIs). Don’t just look at the final score; understanding each metric is the key to knowing where you need to improve.

Metric	What It Measures	How to Interpret It & Improve
Accuracy	The percentage of your clicks that successfully hit a target. Calculated as `(Targets Hit / Total Clicks) * 100`.	High accuracy means your mouse control is precise when you decide to click. If this is low, you might be clicking too early/late or over/under-shooting your flicks. Focus on smoothness over speed to improve this.
Targets Hit	The raw number of targets you successfully eliminated during the session.	This metric reflects your overall speed and efficiency. A higher number is better, but not at the expense of accuracy. This number will naturally increase as your speed and precision improve together.
Reaction Time	The average time (in milliseconds) it takes for you to react and successfully hit a target after it appears.	A lower number is better. This measures your cognitive reaction speed plus your mouse movement time. To improve it, focus on staying relaxed and anticipating where targets might appear.
Targets Per Second (TPS)	The average number of targets you hit each second. Calculated as `(Total Targets Hit / Duration in Seconds)`.	This is a great overall measure of your speed and consistency. It combines your accuracy and reaction time into a single, easy-to-track number. Aim to slowly increase your TPS over time.
Score	A composite score calculated from all other metrics. It provides a single number to represent your overall performance in that session.	Use this score as a benchmark. Your goal is to consistently beat your previous high score. It’s the best at-a-glance indicator of your progress.

Focus on improving one or two of these metrics at a time. For example, you might spend one week focusing entirely on achieving 95% accuracy, even if it means your reaction time slows down. Then, you can work on bringing the speed back up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of aiming?

Understanding the different types of aiming is crucial because different games require different skills. Our trainer helps you practice the three core mechanics:

Aiming Type	Description	Key Skill	Primary Games
Flicking (or Click-Timing)	The act of rapidly and accurately moving your crosshair from its current position to a target that has just appeared, followed by a single, precise click.	Explosive speed and initial accuracy. Building muscle memory to know exactly how far to move your mouse.	Valorant, CS:GO, Rainbow Six Siege
Tracking	The ability to smoothly follow a moving target with your crosshair, keeping it perfectly aligned for a continuous stream of damage.	Smooth and consistent mouse movement. The ability to react to changes in the target’s direction and speed.	Apex Legends, Overwatch, Call of Duty, Fortnite
Target Switching	A hybrid skill that involves quickly flicking between multiple targets, engaging one before immediately moving to the next.	Combines the speed of flicking with the predictive nature of tracking.	Required in almost all FPS games when facing multiple enemies.

How often should I use an aim trainer?

Consistency is more important than intensity. Aim training is like exercise for your hand-eye coordination.

Warm-up: A 10-15 minute session before you play competitively is highly recommended. This activates your muscle memory and gets you “in the zone.”
Dedicated Practice: For serious improvement, set aside 30-45 minutes, 3-5 times a week, for focused training. During this time, actively work on your weaknesses.
Avoid Burnout: Don’t train for hours on end. This can lead to fatigue and reinforce bad habits. Short, focused sessions are far more effective.

How do I find my perfect mouse sensitivity?

Your sensitivity is personal, but a good starting point is crucial. A common method is the PSA (Perfect Sensitivity Approximation) method, which involves lowering or raising your sensitivity based on whether you overshoot or undershoot targets.

A Simple Way to Start:

Set a Baseline: A good starting point is an eDPI (Effective DPI) between 200 and 400 for tactical shooters like Valorant/CS:GO. You can calculate this by multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity (e.g., 800 DPI * 0.35 sens = 280 eDPI).
The 180° Test: Place your mouse on the left side of your mousepad. In-game, swipe it all the way to the right. Did your character turn more or less than 180 degrees?
- Turned more than 180°? Your sensitivity is too high. Lower it.
- Turned less than 180°? Your sensitivity is too low. Raise it.
Fine-Tune: Once you can comfortably do a 180° turn with one swipe, use the aim trainer’s “Precision” mode to see if you can make small, accurate adjustments. Adjust your sensitivity by small increments until it feels both comfortable and precise.

Should my aim trainer sensitivity match my in-game sensitivity?

Yes, absolutely. The entire purpose of an aim trainer is to build muscle memory that is directly transferable to the game you play. If your sensitivities don’t match, you are training your muscles to move a distance that will be incorrect in-game, which is counterproductive.

What’s the difference between DPI and sensitivity?

This is a common source of confusion.

DPI (Dots Per Inch): This is a hardware setting for your mouse. It determines how many pixels the cursor moves on screen for every inch you move the mouse. A higher DPI means the cursor moves farther with less physical movement. Most gamers use a DPI of 400, 800, or 1600.
In-Game Sensitivity: This is a software setting within the game. It acts as a multiplier for your DPI.

Your “true sensitivity” is a combination of both, often referred to as eDPI (DPI * In-Game Sensitivity). This is the number you should use to compare sensitivity with other players.

What’s a “good” score or accuracy I should aim for?

There is no magic number, as it depends on the game mode, target size, and your own goals. However, here are some general benchmarks to strive for:

Accuracy (Flicking/Click-Timing): A great goal is 90-95%. Anything below 85% suggests you are prioritizing speed over precision, and you should slow down to focus on hitting your shots.
Reaction Time: For a simple click test, the average human reaction time is around 200-250ms. In an aim trainer, which also includes mouse movement, a consistent time under 300-350ms for medium targets is very good.

The most important thing is to compete against yourself. Keep a record of your scores and aim to beat them every week.

Does my equipment (mouse, monitor) matter?

Skill will always be the most important factor, but good equipment can remove limitations.

Mouse: A lightweight mouse with a good sensor will be more responsive and cause less fatigue.
Mousepad: A large, clean mousepad is essential for low-sensitivity players to make large movements without lifting their mouse.
Monitor: The biggest impact comes from the refresh rate (Hz). Upgrading from a 60Hz monitor to a 144Hz or 240Hz monitor makes motion appear significantly smoother, allowing you to track targets more easily and react faster.

How can I track my progress effectively?

While you can simply remember your high scores, a more structured approach is better. Create a simple spreadsheet (or use a notebook) and log your scores after each training session.

Example Log: | Date | Mode | Duration | Accuracy | Targets Hit | Score | Notes | | :— | :— | :— | :— | :— | :— | :— | | 08/29/25 | Flicking | 60s | 88% | 52 | 45760 | Felt a bit jittery. | | 08/30/25 | Flicking | 60s | 91% | 54 | 49140 | Focused on smooth flicks. |

This allows you to see trends over time and identify what kind of practice yields the best results.

Any tips for improving my reaction time?

Yes. While some of your reaction time is genetic, you can absolutely train it to be faster.

Stay Healthy: Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and minimize caffeine if it makes you jittery.
Focus: Eliminate distractions during practice. Be mentally present.
Predict: In the trainer, try to anticipate where the next target might appear. This keeps your brain engaged.
Practice Consistently: Like any skill, repetition builds faster neural pathways.

Will an aim trainer make me a pro gamer?

An aim trainer can make you a mechanically better player, but becoming a pro requires much more. Great aim is a foundational skill, but top-tier players also have incredible game sense, positioning, communication, and strategic knowledge. Use this tool to build a strong foundation, but remember to practice all the other aspects of the game as well.
