Aim Trainer

Test mouse precision and speed by hitting 30 targets as fast as possible.

Mouse aim precision is critical for first-person shooters, design work, and productivity. This test challenges you to hit 30 randomized targets as quickly and accurately as possible, scoring you on time, accuracy, and consistency. Based on Fitts Law principles.

Formula and method

Score = Accuracy% × (Targets / Time)

Targets appear at random positions on screen. The test records time to complete all 30 targets and calculates average time per target. Based on Fitts Law: movement time is proportional to log2(distance/width), meaning small distant targets are hardest.

Assumptions and limits

  • Standard 1920×1080 or similar viewport
  • Mouse input (not touchscreen)
  • 30 targets per round

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Moving too fast and missing targets — accuracy penalties reduce your score more than slightly slower movement.
  • Using low mouse DPI — too low DPI requires large arm movements; too high causes overshooting. 800-1600 DPI is optimal for most.
  • Tense grip on mouse — a relaxed fingertip grip gives better precision than a palm grip for aim training.

Frequently asked questions

What DPI should I use for gaming?

800 DPI is the most popular choice for FPS games. Combined with in-game sensitivity, most competitive players use an effective sensitivity that moves the crosshair about 30-45cm for a full 360° turn. Higher DPI is better for large monitors or low-sens desktop work.

Does aim training actually work?

Yes, research and community data confirm aim training transfers to games. Tools like Aim Lab and KovaaK's show measurable improvement in 2-4 weeks of daily 15-minute sessions. Movement-based aim scenarios transfer better than static target practice.

Is mouse or controller better for FPS?

Mouse and keyboard is objectively faster for aiming — professional mouse players consistently outperform controller players on identical hardware in studies. However, controller players benefit from aim assist in many games, narrowing the gap.
