Use a comfortable mouse sensitivity and enough physical space to make both small and larger movements. You do not need to copy a professional player’s exact settings.
The important beginner rule is to stop changing sensitivity every few minutes. Give your motor system time to learn the mapping.
Use medium or large targets first. Move directly to the target, stop inside it and click once. Watch for repeated overshoot, undershoot or unnecessary correction.
When accuracy is stable, increase your pace slightly rather than abandoning control.
Changing one variable at a time makes it easier to see what is actually improving.
Fast aim should still look controlled. If increasing speed causes wild cursor paths and repeated misses, drop back slightly and rebuild the movement at a cleaner pace.
This is the same speed–accuracy principle described by pointing research such as Fitts’ law.
Save average acquisition time, accuracy and target settings. A personal best is fun, but a trend across many similar runs is much better evidence of improvement.
Use Reaction Lab’s Stats dashboard and device profiles to avoid mixing results from very different setups.
Short, focused sessions are often easier to keep accurate than long sessions performed while fatigued. Quality and consistency matter more than an arbitrary daily duration.
Not exclusively. Start with targets large enough to reinforce clean movements, then introduce smaller targets progressively.
Not after every miss. First determine whether the error is a movement-control problem rather than immediately changing settings.
