Or with forcefields. You just need to get used to the timing. What's happening is if you hold down a key notice after the first press a letter comes up. Then it pauses, then it repeats. Well what's happening is your clicking where that pause is and there is no input.

Edit: so as result I just never hold down the key. I guess it's a little different for sniping though. Though you definitely should search "snipe" and scroll down a little. There are a good amount of threads on efficient sniping techniques.

The deselection is due to slight inaccuracy in the pattern of spamming, if you miss your target, it will click it instead of telling your ghost to snipe it, which will deselect your control group. Press shift and queue commands to avoid this.

It's the same with Force Fields.
Maybe you haven't ever noticed before, but if you hold "S" down on your keyboard in Notepad or any where else where you write text it will also take about half a second before you will see S quickly repeat in the text editor.

Windows has about half a second delay before it repeats the key you are pressing on the keyboard by default.
You can change the time before repeat in the Control Panel, or if you want it really low or just very specific, you can write the exact ms before the key repeats in regedit. It's called Keyboard repeat delay.. if I remember correctly.


This. Reduce the delay and it'll help the problem. I say "help" because I dont know for certain if windows allows you to go all the way down to 0ms delay. If it does, then you wont have to pause after holding R. But typing might because frustrating if you have a heavy finger.
