How to Increase Your CPS
Speed matters. Whether you are bridging in Minecraft or competing in an FPS, high Clicks Per Second (CPS) can be the difference between winning and losing. This guide covers the proven techniques to break your limits.
Jitter Clicking
The classic brute-force method. By vibrating your arm muscles, you can achieve 10-14 CPS. It requires practice and stamina.
Butterfly Clicking
The modern meta. Uses two fingers (index + middle) to alternate clicks on one button. Can reach 20+ CPS with the right mouse.
Drag Clicking
The friction method. Drag your finger across the button to create micro-bounces. Used primarily for bridging in Minecraft.
Hardware Matters
You can't race an F1 car with a tricycle. For high CPS, you need a mouse that can keep up.
Switches
Optical switches are faster and durable, but Mechanical switches (like Omron 20M) are often preferred for butterfly clicking because they can registered 'double clicks' easier.
Debounce Time
This is the delay before a second click registers. For normal use, high debounce (10ms) prevents bugs. For gaming, you want 0-4ms to register every regular and erratic click.
Practice Routine
Don't just mash. Warm up your hands, stretch your fingers, and practice in short 10-second bursts to build muscle memory without injury.
