Clicker games and the click rate you actually have
Idle games are built on the assumption that clicking is cheap. Measure your real rate first and most of them turn out to be about upgrades, not fingers.

Auto-clickers, and the number that stops meaning anything

Trackpad against gaming mouse: the gap is 60 to 120 CPM
A trackpad confirms a gesture before it reports a click. That confirmation, not your hand, is what sets the ceiling.

A two-week plan that adds 40 to 80 CPM
Train the gap between presses, not the total. Four steps, twelve minutes a day, and a realistic number to expect at the end of it.

CPS, CPM and the attack cooldown that made them stop mattering
Minecraft 1.9 capped useful hits near 200 CPM. The click rate that wins a 1.8 fight is worse than useless in 1.9 — here is the arithmetic.
