Auto clicker explained

An auto clicker is a type of software or macro that can be used to automate the clicking of a mouse on a computer screen element.[1] Some clickers can be triggered to repeat recorded input.

Auto clickers can be as simple as a program that simulates mouse clicking. This type of auto clicker is fairly generic and will often work alongside any other computer program running at the time and acting as though a physical mouse button is pressed.

Auto clickers are also called automation software programs, and may have features enabling response conditional reactions, as well as a keyboard.

Applications

An auto clicker has different applications depending upon the type of task required to be automated. Following are a few examples where auto clickers are used.

Hardware

Whilst an auto clicker is software that is emulating mouse clicks, there is hardware that can do this for itself. Some computer mice marketed as "gaming mice" sometimes have an autoclicker built-in which will click on a user determined rate. Similarly, some computer joysticks come with an auto-fire function which can usually be adjusted by a further control which sets the rate of fire and also will improve your clicking speed.
