I enjoy running the game, but I can’t. Speedrunning is about practice and routing, but due to the endurance factor I just can’t compete. My tendons just weren’t made for it. On top of this, specific mouses give pretty clear advantages with clicking and I personally don’t want to buy an expensive mouse. I think allowing a specific timing for an auto clicker would not only be good for the players but also for the competition, allowing more people to compete. It would be fine by me if this were to be a separate category or even multiple categories. Mr Hafifi suggested having the clicker be set to anywhere from 75 ms to 150 ms, I think 100 ms would work great.

Glad someone made a forum for this! I think have at the very least a macro category would lead to more runs. Clicking fast for roughly an hour might seem daunting. I would agree, it leaves me sore. I think it would encourage creativity in routing rather than min/maxing your click speed.

I would also agree on 100ms. When doing a click speed test, I average roughly 11 cps over a 60 second duration. Over the course of a run, factoring in fatigue, that would just about even out (since there are certain sections where click speed matters a lot more than others).

Category has been created. I am limiting the rate to 100ms for the moment, but I am open to discussion on reducing it.

For this category are we allowed to mix auto clicking and manual clicking? If pure speed is the goal I feel as though mixing the two may be the answer, but if we’re looking for an even playing field or accessibility and less pain it would probably be best to cap click speed to no faster than the auto clicker.

I'm inclined to say that the auto clicker should be the primary manner of points-accumulation-by-clicking, with manual clicking being used almost exclusively for moving items and activating devices and not be spam-clicking. I will leave this open for a bit for discussion though.

I have a few thoughts about this. I do think that it should be strictly autoclicking, but I don’t know of an easy way to cap cps. There are a few alternatives, but I don’t think that any of them truly solve the problem. One I thought of is having your overall cps be no more than 8.5, as my wr run has an overall cps of 7.8, but this still leaves room for error. For example, Poobius could spam click super fast in the beginning and then turn off the autoclicker from the time the door opens until the red button to end the run is clicked and the overall cps wouldn’t be all that different. Another is to have a category for 50 ms but that still doesn’t really fix the problem, it only mitigates it. If you have a means of capping the cps I’m all ears, but until then we will have to use the honor system which I don’t think will be an issue unless this community booms out of nowhere.
