If you often perform repetitive jobs that need you to click your mouse, you may want an auto clicker. An auto clicker is a piece of software or, in our instance, a script that will simulate a mouse click for you at any time you specify. It might be used to automate specialized data input activities, test programs, or even in games such as Roblox or Minecraft, where repeated clicking is common. Let’s look at how to set up an Auto Clicker for Windows.
How to Install an Auto Clicker for Windows?
There are several methods for installing an auto clicker on Windows. However, many of the initiatives are at best dubious. We’ll use a bit more indirect approach with a piece of software we know and trust.
AutoHotKey, a strong programming language for Windows, will be used to create this auto clicker. The auto clicker will be a custom-written script that can be turned on and off. Let’s get this thing done.
- Install AutoHotKey
- Open a location to save the script
Find a folder that you would like to save your auto clicker to. Once saved, you can also make sure that the auto clicker runs on windows startup if you want.
- Right-click on your folder and go to New -> AutoHotKey Script
- Name your new script
- Right-click the new script and go to Open With -> Notepad
- Paste the following code below the last line in the script
- Double Click on your script
Auto Clicker Script (copy and paste this)
toggle = 0
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
F9::
Toggle := !Toggle
While Toggle{
click
sleep 1000
}
return
Your AutoClicker is now properly configured and functioning in the background.
You should now see the AutoHotKey symbol on your taskbar, indicating that a script is executing. You may close the script by right-clicking on it at any moment.
To activate your auto clicker, use the F9 key. Hitting the same key will also turn it off. Change the F9:: line in the script to whichever key you choose to modify this key.
This auto clicker will click every second by default, but you can change this by editing the sleep 1000 line to any delay you like. The delay is measured in milliseconds, so if you want the auto clicker to click twice a second, set it to sleep 500 and it will click every 500 milliseconds.
That’s the end of it. You now have a basic, adjustable auto clicker that does not require any complicated software. Enjoy!
