UPDATED // June 30. in 2020 After several considerations and tests, I have decided to change the number of key presses from 4 pr. second to 8, so I now run @ 125ms.
Notification! Just to be clear, this is not a discussion / topic, if it is okay to use auto pressing keyboard (autofire) tools ect.!!!
How many keystrokes per second are acceptable?
- What is human posible, no limit, game restriction?!!!
You may have your own point of view on this, but here comes my thoughts!
As I see it, 8 keystrokes per second is humanly possible and therefore a fair number. This means that Im using a auto key delay @ 125ms (8 times @ 125ms = 1 second), and furthermore I think it works best with a small break when you press down your key and release it. And that will look like this:
But why do I think that this ‘push-down-break’ is an good idea?
Timeline for 1 sec with 75ms delay and a 50ms ‘break’ / delay on keypress down:
000ms <key up>
075ms >press key down<
125ms <release key up>
200ms >press key down<
250ms <release key up>
325ms >press key down<
375ms <release key up>
450ms >press key down<
500ms <release key up>
575ms >press key down<
625ms <release key up>
700ms >press key down<
750ms <release key up>
825ms >press key down<
875ms <release key up>
950ms >press key down<
1000ms <release key up>
vs no ‘break’ / delay on keypress down:
000ms <key up>
125ms >press key down<
125ms <release key up>
250ms >press key down<
250ms <release key up>
375ms >press key down<
375ms <release key up>
500ms >press key down<
500ms <release key up>
625ms >press key down<
625ms <release key up>
750ms >press key down<
750ms <release key up>
875ms >press key down<
875ms <release key up>
1000ms >press key down<
1000ms <release key up>
This means that there will be a possibility you only have 7 keystroks per second, when you run without press/release break, IF the in-game global cooldown i 1 second… but it’s NOT (long story).
There are so many factors in this calculation and I just simplified, without taking into account software, hardware, game and rules.
So all in all, it comes down to what you believe in as I do, whatever you feel comfortable with, and works for you. Not very scientific, I know
