Frustrated with the AN-94 in Battlefield 3 I asked a mate to dump his magazine into the wall. I couldn't believe what I saw and heard. It was like he had some rapid fire mod. No wonder I am always coming out worse against these players and they drop me like a sack of spuds.

I asked him to then post how many clicks he does in 10 seconds using this tool:

I was pretty proud with my result of 55 whilst holding the mouse comfortably for FPS games. He then came back with a score of 97 using one finger and 130 using two fingers :eek:

I then was curious and discovered jitter clicking and asked myself, is this a natural way to play for people, especially competitive gamers? Watch the video below to see what it is:


ONLY 122 clicks and he can do better. :rolleyes:

I asked my mate which mouse he uses and it was a Razer Deathadder which is apparently known for having low button travel and resistance making clicking easier. I have the G502 and whilst I cannot quantify it's resistance as I do not have a force meter or data to compare it against, for me it has low resistance.

Oh one thing I nearly forgot - the AN-94 is one of those weird weapons where switching to burst mode (tap V twice with default settings IIRC) doubles the rate of fire - you only need to be clicking around 30/s to max it out though - you will get beat by someone rapidly bursting it in burst mode over automatic fire (600 v 1200 rpm).

(Something your "friend" probably isn't telling you).

I know that already he doesn't need to tell me ;), the an94 in bf3 is in burst mode from default unlike in bf4 where it is auto. I did a 1v1 against him and everytime he came out better just by mag dumping from clicking extremely fast.

I'm going to dig out my G700 in the afternoon and compare it to the G502. I think the switches in the G502 require more force or the buttons are setup higher as they do seem "springy".
