New to Sideklick? A few small adjustments can make a big difference.
Whether you're using a physical auto clicker for mobile gaming, repetitive tapping, grinding, or hands-free play, these beginner tips will help you get Sideklick positioned correctly and ready for smoother gameplay.
1. Start With the Right Tap Location
Before starting Sideklick, decide exactly where the repeated tap needs to happen.
Open your game and identify the button, action area, or screen position you normally tap repeatedly. Place the Sideklick tip directly over that spot.
For the best results:
-
Keep the tip flat against the touchscreen.
-
Make sure it maintains consistent screen contact.
-
Avoid placing it between two buttons.
-
Test the position before leaving it running hands-free.
Even a small change in positioning can improve how consistently your phone detects each tap.
2. Choose the Right Mode
Sideklick gives you different ways to interact with your touchscreen.
Click Mode
Use Click Mode when you need fast, repeated taps.
This can be useful for:
-
Clicker games
-
Tap-heavy mobile games
-
Repetitive in-game actions
-
Grinding
-
Repeated battle actions
Hold Mode
Use Hold Mode when the game requires continuous screen contact instead of repeated tapping.
Choosing the correct mode before you start can make your setup much easier.
3. Test Before Going AFK
Planning to use your auto clicker for AFK farming or hands-free mobile gaming?
Run a short test first.
Watch the game for 20–30 seconds and confirm that:
-
Every tap is registering.
-
Sideklick remains securely positioned during use.
-
The correct game button is being activated.
-
No pop-ups or menus are blocking the tapping area.
A quick test can prevent you from coming back later and discovering that your game stopped progressing.
4. Keep the Tip Sticker in Place
The tip sticker is part of the Sideklick and should remain in place.
5. Use the Stand for Hands-Free Play
If you want Sideklick to continue tapping while your hands are away from your phone, use the included stand.
Position the stand securely and make sure the Sideklick tip remains in direct contact with the screen.
This setup is especially useful for players looking for a:
-
Hands-free auto clicker
-
Mobile gaming auto clicker
-
AFK farming auto clicker
-
Physical auto clicker for repetitive tapping
Once everything is positioned correctly, monitor it briefly before stepping away.
For best performance during hands-free play, plug the USB-C cord in.
6. Keep Sideklick Charged
Don't wait until you're in the middle of a long gaming session to think about battery life.
Charge Sideklick with USB-C before extended sessions, especially when you're planning to use it for grinding or hands-free gameplay.
A simple habit is to recharge it after longer gaming sessions so it's ready the next time you play.
7. Adjust the Position if Taps Are Missed
If your auto clicker is running but the game isn't responding consistently, check the positioning first.
Try slightly adjusting:
-
The angle of the Sideklick
-
The location of the tapping tip
-
If the tip is flush with the screen
-
The position of the stand
Different phones, tablets, screen protectors, and games can respond slightly differently, so finding the best position may take a few seconds.
8. Learn the Game Before Automating the Tap
A physical auto clicker works best when you already understand which part of the game requires repetitive tapping.
Instead of trying to automate everything, look for simple repeated actions where Sideklick can handle the tapping while you focus on the more interesting parts of the game.
This is especially useful in clicker games, idle games, grinding sessions, and other tap-heavy mobile games.
Always check the rules and terms of the game you're playing before using automated tapping features.
9. Keep Your Screen Clean
Your Sideklick and touchscreen need reliable contact.
Dust, fingerprints, moisture, or debris around the tapping area can sometimes affect touchscreen responsiveness.
Before a longer session:
-
Clean the screen.
-
Position Sideklick.
-
Test several taps.
-
Start your game session.
It's a simple step that can make your setup more consistent.
10. Experiment With Different Setups
There isn't one perfect Sideklick position for every mobile game.
Some games work best with Sideklick positioned near the bottom of the screen. Others may require tapping a button closer to the center or side.
Experiment with different placements until you find the setup that works best for the way you play.
Ready to Start Tapping Less?
The best Sideklick setup is usually the simplest one: choose the right mode, position the tip correctly, test your taps, and start playing.
Once you've found the right setup, Sideklick can handle repetitive touchscreen tapping while you concentrate on the parts of your mobile game that need your attention.
Play more. Tap less.
