Ive recently noticed that my accuracy is HORRIBLE. I tend to overshoot way to often. The problem is that I really dont know what to do about it. I try to optimize my mouse speed as good as possible but I still dont hit spot on.

Anyone else experiencing this thing? And anyone have any ideas how to improve the accuracy? Perhaps there is some hidden broodwar-technique that Im not aware of

As everyone else im a "top diamond player", but I think this topic is relevant for all skill levels..

day9 suggests minesweeper... I think there's some other posts about it...

also, there's osu, which is a computer version of elite beat agents...

or you could just... you know... practice in the bo tester your accuracy...

Minesweeper sounds quite good : ) Think Ill be going sweeping some. But if you dont have same mouse speed in the game as in windows Im not really sure about it?
We need a custom map minesweeper

Guess Ill be going some Bo-tester : D

Tbh i find minesweeper pretty slow in terms of accuracy and osu to be a bit too.... flamboyant... for my liking.

If theres any bored map makers out there, a sweet map idea would be a simple yet effective make units spawn, you have to click them as soon as they do within x time. make different levels (with the ability to start and replay any leve) by making them patrol, and increasing unit speed/decreasing unit size.

eg:
Kindergarten: selecting ultras that spawn withing 1 second of them spawning
Very Easy: selecting moving ultras withing .5secs of them spawning going x speed (say, bc speed)
Easy: select tanks withing .5 seconds of them spawning while they're moving at tank speed
Medium: Select stalkers within .4 seconds of them spawning and they move at stalker speed
Hard: select zealots withing .4 seconds of them spawning, zealots have pheonix speed.
Very Hard: Select zerglings within .3 seconds of them spawning, zerglings have speed of a speedling while on creep.
Impossible: Select zerglings within .2 seconds of them spawning, zerglings have slightly faster then speedling on creep speed.

edit: You'd have to make it so you couldn't just drag select the units somehow? Or just not incourage people to do it since the maps only purpose is practice XD.

edit2: better idea, give the player a templar with feed back 250 mana and make feedback 1 energy, make all the units u have to select have 1 hp and spawn with mana, that way you have to F-click everything instead of just click it, and drag-selecting is impossible =]

edit3: thinking my idea would actually be kinda cool, i just played around for 10 minutes in it and FUCK its confusing.... Big thank you to anyone who decides to take this task on?

Yeah I think someone should make a badass UMS for it, that way you don't have to worry about windows sensitivity vs ingame sensitivity

http://www.missionred.com - try Reflex. It's gorgeous.

Also, I wrote a clone just for the lulz that has argueably better effects and has right-click training that you can find here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyreflex/files/

You will need python and pygame to run it, or cxFreeze to compile an executable.

Another map idea could be something like this.

You have a "sea" of zealots.
Then they start to change color and you have to press this ones. If you press anyone that has not changed color you lose a life / fail the game.
They can also change color in "rectangles" so you have to make a selection.
You can have beacons spawning with different colors, which you will have to "moveclick" after you have selected the zealots with that color.

Then skill levels would ofcourse change the ammounts of changing color, speed you have to press, and times you can miss.

1a2a3a micro training helps i think. but that was on brood war where you have cannons shooting

I'm not a good player by any means, but the multi trainer helped me to vastly improve my mouse accuracy, purely because i had to, if i didnt my probe died, i'd say you could play around on that and see if it helps. If not i guess it's just down to determination, repeatedly try to box your nexus and then click a specific mineral patch, keep on trying until you can do it most times. And continuing doing that occasionally should help

BluzMan: Ye I tried those, but same problem comes here. Its not really same mouse in windows as in SC2

Ive played some of the multi trainer as NecroSaints suggests also. This is where I noticed that my accuracy was awful.. But I really want something where I feel that I exclusively ( ? ) train my accuracy.

Exactly what I was thinking, I'm sure someone could make that map for SC2, what you do is you have 3 cannons you hotkey and you have to manually attack the units, so you 1a click on unit then 2a click on unit, and the units are trying to get to the other side, that was very good practice.
