What is Aimlabs?

Aimlabs is a free-to-play aim trainer used by more than 50 million players to build the mechanical skills behind any first-person shooter (FPS). It breaks aiming into measurable parts, tracks progress through detailed performance analytics and gives players a structured way to practice. CORSAIR and Aimlabs have also partnered on PureVector, a directional sensitivity calibration technology. This article covers what Aimlabs is, how a training session works, what the free and Aimlabs Pro levels include, and what the CORSAIR and Aimlabs partnership adds to the SABRE v3 PRO PureVector Series.

Aimlabs is developed by State Space Labs and is available on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on console. Its team includes neuroscientists, designers, and developers, and the platform uses cognitive and sensory assessments to evaluate a player's aim.

The core unit of Aimlabs is the task, a controlled scenario that focuses on one subset of aiming. Each task shows the player's recent results next to a leaderboard, so a run can be compared against past attempts and against other players.

Aimlabs organizes training around three skills, and each has two variations.

1) Flicking

Flicking is moving the crosshair quickly to a target and clicking the moment the two line up. Static flicking uses stationary targets, and dynamic flicking uses moving ones. It matters most in shooters with a low time to kill, such as Rainbow Six Siege, where the margin for error is slim.

2) Tracking

Tracking is keeping the crosshair on a moving opponent. Precise tracking rewards small, exact corrections, while reactive tracking rewards responding to sudden changes in a target's movement. Sustained accuracy can decide longer fights in games with a higher time to kill, such as Apex Legends.

3) Switching

Switching is moving from one target to the next quickly and cleanly. Static switching covers fixed targets, and dynamic switching adds movement. It shows up in chaotic fights, including hero shooters like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals and large-scale games like Battlefield 6.

Setup starts with a Game Profile. Aimlabs supports more than 400 titles, and each profile also works as a sensitivity calculator: a player enters the sensitivity from one game, switches to another profile, and Aimlabs converts it. Field of view, crosshair, and visual settings can be matched to the game being trained for.

From the home screen, players choose individual tasks or playlists, which are sequences of tasks with a set number of repetitions. Players can build their own playlists, copy and remix existing ones, and share them through the Steam Workshop. Creator Studio goes a step further, letting players build custom scenarios or recreate real in-game situations to practice on repeat.

Multiplayer modes include co-op, 1v1 duels, and a four-player free-for-all, and player profiles show stats and progress so players can find others to train with.

Progress is measured through official Benchmarks, which come in three tiers: Entry, Intermediate, and Elite. Benchmark runs cover subcategories like micro flicking, reactive tracking, and speed switching, which shows where a player is strongest and where practice will help most. Running them again later shows how those areas have changed. Aim Insights add heatmaps, trends, and advanced stats that show where a player is improving.

The core Aimlabs experience is free. That includes the training library, playlists, leaderboards, Benchmarks, Aim Insights, Task Tuning, and a Flick Optimizer that helps players find a comfortable sensitivity for flicking.

Aimlabs Pro is the paid membership for players who want more guidance and deeper analysis. It adds sensitivity tools, Training Programs, Personalized Difficulty, Coach and Academy lessons, Premium Analysis, and a VALORANT Training Center, plus half off cosmetics in the Aimlabs Shop.

Pro is a subscription offered in several plan lengths. Qualifying CORSAIR products also come with a free one-month trial of Aimlabs Pro, and the CORSAIR x Aimlabs Pro page has the details. For a full breakdown of what Pro includes, read What Is Aimlabs Pro?.

Sensitivity, the relationship between how far the hand moves and how far the crosshair travels, is usually set as a single number, and Aimlabs' sensitivity tools are built to arrive at one value for a player. That number assumes the hand performs equally well in every direction, and it doesn't. Moving a mouse away from the body, toward the body, and across the body are different movements, and an individual player may be faster or more accurate in one direction than another.

Those directional biases stay consistent within a player across tasks and games, but they differ from player to player. What works for one player, including a pro, is unlikely to be the right fit for another.

Everyone aims differently, which is the idea behind PureVector. Developed through the partnership between CORSAIR and Aimlabs, PureVector measures a player's aiming movements and calibrates a personalized directional sensitivity profile. Rather than applying a single sensitivity value in every direction, PureVector adjusts the sensitivity in every direction to match how that player moves.

PureVector works in three steps:

1) Measure. During a short calibration session in the Aimlabs app, PureVector measures how a player performs in each direction, including distance and accuracy.

2) Calibrate. A patented algorithm, built on more than 4 billion data points, uses those results to personalize sensitivity by direction.

3) Save. The calibrated settings are written to the mouse's onboard firmware. No background app runs afterward, so the calibration applies in any game, including on a LAN system with nothing installed.

PureVector is exclusive to the SABRE v3 PRO PureVector Series, where it improves Aim Speed, the movement and correction phase of a shot, by up to 81ms. To learn more about how PureVector works, read PureVector: The Future of Aiming.
