Drag clicking might sound or look simple from the description above, but there’s better to it than simply playing with your mouse buttons. It needs patience, practice, and, more significantly, the right mouse to do it.
However of the mouse’s design or price, here are two important features to look for in a clicking mouse:
- A matt grippy surface: This creates drag clicking much more comfortable
- High-quality mouse switches: This includes Omron, Kailh, or Opticals. These switches support reducing the stress of drag clicking.
The following steps will help you drag click a mouse:- Make sure that your hands are dry and clean before you begin. Clean the surface of your mouse and make sure it's not dusty, as sweat and dust will reduce the friction between your fingers and the mouse button.
- Hold the mouse as you usually would hold a standard mouse. Place your thumb on the left side of the mouse and utilize your little finger to grasp the right side. Now, while your index finger is on the left mouse button, your middle finger is on the right mouse button. Slide your fingertips across the upper edge of the mouse button.
- Position your wrist at a relaxing angle and flick the mouse button below to drag-click. Sidestep puts too much stress on your fingertips and instead gently glides them through the button. The mouse will shake if you’re doing it right, and a “hissing sound” will be heard. As you drag your finger across the mouse button, you’ll see a slight vibration.
- I recommend using an online tool to verify your drag clicks. All of the tools to check are free to utilize, and you don’t have to install anything.
