If you missclick at all you are trying to play faster than you are capable of. Slow down until you make no mistakes. Speed comes naturally with accuracy.

It really is a mental thing. I can type about 120 WPM, however in SC2 (plat level) I find myself on a good game averaging about 70-80 APM, and on short micro-intensive games (aka getting cheesed) around 100 APM. I know I'm limited by my thought process and not my hands...

day9 recommends clicking rather than dragging/boxing to select single units that are moving. It sounds stupid but if you can actually do that without fail, you have very good cursor control. day9 also recommends minesweeper but I don't think anything outside of sc2 can really give you the full effects of practice.

for me, i used to live in a dorm room that was always freezing cold so i would spam 2-3-4-2-3-4 continuously to warm up my hands, thus inflating my apm to like 500 at the start. while this doesn't necessarily mean i have 500 apm, it gives your hands a good feel of where your keys are and the motions your hand/wrist/fingers have to make to hit each desired key. i'll have my nex on 4, gate on 2 and scout probe on 3 so i can also monitor progress on probe production and gateway cool downs. this will also help down the strech.. everytime i select all my nexi which i do multiple times a second i know if i have an idle nexus and can without even thinking rectify this.
