How about some examples of APMs so people have some idea just how much people are doing in a minute? And since I am aware that these numbers may be very high (400+) perhaps some insight as to what exactly these people are doing that requires them to click something 6 times every second?

Some links to programs that measure APM (or click speed) would be nice.

Needs less gosu!

[edit] High APM

400 APM is not the record,several players achieve average 500-550 APM,with some reaching 600 APM.(they use HQ mouse and keyboards) Its not the mouse speed alone,you have to use hotkeys(which probably takes the biggest chuck out of APM).Try to play one game of SC and analyse it with replay utils.


[edit] Seems poorly written

This article's summery seems poorly written, also no references, also no links to how to mesaure this (somebody here meantions replay utils ?).

Conclusion also doesn't seem very appropriate for a wiki. Someone better than me at SC and such needs to edit this. -RoSeeker 12:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree that wikipedia should not include "conclusions" in its articles, I will remove it and if someone disagrees they can put it back and give a reason for it.

[edit] Reference

I've added a ref and removed the "Unreferenced" tag as the ref supports the rest of the analysis too.Philcha 21:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
