Online Aim Trainer – Aim Test with Gridshot, flicks, and tracking

Gridshot

Score: total time

Three targets appear at once on a five-by-five grid. When you hit one, a new target appears in an empty square. You choose which target to hit next. This trains quick target switching and awareness. The run ends with the last hit; fewer seconds is better.

Time mode

Score: hits in 30 or 60 s

A single target jumps to a new position after each hit, a good distance from the pointer. This is classic flicking: move the pointer quickly to the target and stop precisely. The number of hits counts; accuracy breaks ties.

Tracking

Score: time on target

A target moves with changing direction and speed. Instead of clicking, keep your pointer on it for 30 or 60 seconds. This trains smooth tracking, as needed against moving opponents. Your score is the percentage of time your pointer stayed on the target.

Accuracy

Hits ÷ (hits + misses)

Every click that misses a target is a miss. 100% means not a single missed click during the entire run. The value is rounded down so that 99.96% does not appear as 100%. Tracking involves no clicks, so it has no accuracy score; what counts there is time on target.

Avg. time per hit

Average time since the last hit

Time is measured from the previous hit, or from the start for the first hit. In Time mode, this is how long the target was visible. In Gridshot, it's the interval between two hits. You'll also see the median, which gives less weight to outliers, and the fastest hit.

Targets per second

Hits ÷ seconds

In Gridshot, the test divides by the total time until the last hit; in timed mode, it divides by the selected 30 or 60 seconds. 40 hits in 30 seconds equals 1.33 targets per second, or 750 ms per hit.

Throughput

Difficulty in bits ÷ time in seconds

According to Fitts's law, how difficult a target is to hit depends on its distance and size. Throughput relates these factors to time, making different target sizes comparable. The test measures distance from the last click to the center of the new target.

Time on target

Time on target ÷ runtime

You are on target whenever the center of your crosshair is inside the target. The results also include your longest uninterrupted streak and your average distance from the center in pixels.

Best results

same setting only

A personal best applies to one specific mode with the same target size and duration. In Gridshot, it's the shortest total time; in timed mode, the most hits; and in tracking, the highest percentage of time on target.

Not a substitute for 3D practice in-game

This trainer is two-dimensional: you move a pointer across a surface. In a shooter, you rotate the camera in 3D space instead. Here you train your aim and mouse control, but not camera movement, distance judgment or recoil control. For those, use a 3D trainer such as KovaaK's or Aim Lab, or practice in your game.

Frame rate and monitor

The browser draws targets once per frame. At 60 Hz, a frame takes 16.7 ms; at 144 Hz, 6.9 ms. The measured time can therefore differ by up to one frame. Monitor and mouse latency, which browsers cannot detect, add further delay. Absolute millisecond values are therefore estimates.

Mouse, DPI, and pointer acceleration

Without Pointer Lock, your operating system moves the pointer using its pointer speed and possibly acceleration. The browser knows neither your mouse's DPI nor its polling rate. With Pointer Lock, the test requests raw mouse movement without acceleration where the browser supports it. The browser doesn't indicate whether the request succeeded.

Comparability of runs

The play area adapts to the window width, but targets have fixed pixel sizes. In a small window, targets are closer together than in a large one. Compare runs using the same mouse and monitor and, if possible, the same window size. Throughput accounts for target size and distance, not hardware.

Touchscreen

On a smartphone, you tap targets directly with your finger. It works, but it's a different test: there's no pointer movement, and your finger obscures the target. Don't compare touch and mouse results. You need a mouse for Pointer Lock and the crosshair.

Why your results fluctuate

How you feel, fatigue, and warming up can noticeably affect your results. Do a few warm-up runs, then compare the median of several runs rather than a single best score. Just two or three extra misclicks can change your accuracy across 25 targets by several percentage points.
