Drag clicking is a technique where a player drags a finger across the mouse button to register many clicks very quickly. It is discussed mostly in games that reward fast clicking. Whether it is allowed depends on the game or server.

How it works
Instead of tapping, the player drags a finger across the surface of the button. Friction produces rapid repeated clicks. It takes practice, and results depend on the mouse buttons and the player’s technique.
What mice are used
Players often look for mice with a particular button surface and switches that register rapid input. Button response, shell shape and weight all matter. This is not guaranteed to work with any specific mouse.
Why it is controversial
Some servers and communities restrict drag clicking or consider it unfair. Check the rules of the game or server before using it.
Health and comfort
Repeated fast clicking can strain your hand. Rest and stop if it hurts.
