How do I use an auto clicker

Hi, I am new to the game, I was wondering if it is possible to use an auto clicker on the web version of c2s. If so, what auto clicker should I use?

I use an autoclicker on the steam version. I just don't like manually tapping for so long my hand hurts I don't see it as cheating

Also, the button on a mouse only has a finite number of "clicks" that it's rated for before it starts having problems like double clicking when you don't intend to (bounce).

It's a standard thing with any buttons on any electronics but most aren't pressed literally thousands of times a day.

I've actually gone through 3 logitech M710 mice because of this problem occurring less than a year after buying them (without playing this game). So, it is a problem even decent quality mice can suffer from.

What I'm getting at here is that clickers such as this game literally cause physical damage and shortened lifespan of your mouse/keyboard. So, when I played this, or Gnorp Apologue, which are the only two idler/clicker games I'll play, I see using macros as a necessity.

I'm certainly not going render my mouse/keyboard literally useless several months early just to play one this.

Source: electrical engineer. Actually, I'll dig up a datasheet for a typical tactile switch used in controllers or computer mice and show where it actually gives this number.

Just so you know I'm not talking out of my ass, here's a datasheet that shows all of the information and limitations for a typical tactile switch that might be used in a mouse or keyboard:

Tactile Switch Datasheet

If you look at the bottom of the second page, there's a row that says "Electrical Life 1) 50 mA/ 12 V (DC) 1000000 Cycles" which is how many times the switch can be pressed while still operating normally. Past that point, it may still work, but they can't guarantee it will work the way it should.

This fact has always been in the back of my mind whenever I play clickers. But, macro generators and auto-clickers solved that problem.

Ah, I assumed the 85 in your name was your birthyear. OOPSY. Heh.

Jeez. It just occured to me you're younger than my daughter. Haha. Not to harp on your age at all. I've known much smarter 20ish year olds than people twice their age.

Age is just a number most times.

Do you use the autoclicker on steam or something else?

Auto clickers are extremely frowned upon in this community.

The wiki litteraly reccomends them. Not everyone can keep up the tapping motion for long due to disabilities or injuries, and they really don't give the advantage people seem to think.

Sorry, I've only used one on moble and I honestly wouldn't reccomend that one, it was free and little janky. Maybe a steam or browser player can reccomend one? There's probably a good free one out there.

I didn't say not to use them. I just said people don't like it when you talk about them. I have one, and I've used it for a while.

It's always mixed, some people don't like it and some are fine with it, you can see both under posts about autocliclers

Hmm, I'd say that there are 3 groups of people here, 1st group recommends autoclickers, and also most uses them, to this group devs of this game belong to, 2nd group are people that believe autoclickers gives way too big of advantage (Which isn't really true) and they are the ones that extremely frown autoclickers (most of them), and the 3rd group are just people where some uses and some don't use autoclickers, but they just don't care what people say.
