About AimBench
AimBench answers one question for competitive FPS players: is your setup holding your aim back, and if so, what's the cheapest thing that fixes it? It's an independent site, built and run from Australia by a developer who plays Apex Legends and WARDOGS.
What it does
The benchmark takes your game, sensitivity and gear and gives you a Setup Score, the bottlenecks behind it, and where your aim sits among the players of your game. The upgrade path only shows a swap when it measurably moves that score, and when your setup has cleared the competitive floor it says so and tells you to stop buying.
Around it sit the tools that feed it: pro settings with their cm/360 converted to every game, a sensitivity converter, a daily log of pro gear changes, game hubs for Apex Legends and WARDOGS with 130 official patch posts tracked, and a comparison of 30 flight sticks, throttles, pedals and RC radios.
What it isn't
It isn't a review site. Nothing here was tested hands-on. Specs come from manufacturers and from measurement sites (RTINGS, TechPowerUp, Audio Science Review), and every record carries the link it came from and the date it was checked. The product pages are labelled spec analyses for that reason.
It doesn't sell rankings. No brand pays to be listed, placed or scored. And the score is a hardware-match index, not a prediction of rank or win-rate: no study converts gear spend into wins, so the site doesn't pretend one does.
How it's funded
Some buy links are affiliate links (Amazon Associates), so a purchase can earn a small commission at no cost to you. That never changes a score, a flag or an upgrade pick: the engine ranks options by what they do to your score, and a setup that's already good enough is told so even though that earns nothing. The full terms are on the affiliate disclosure.
Corrections
Players change gear and settings constantly. A gear watcher re-reads most tracked pros' sources every day, and a change is checked by hand against the player's own page before it's published. If something is wrong, email hello@aimbench.com with a link to the source and it gets fixed. A player's own command or video beats any aggregator.
How every number is made, including the score weights and curves, is on the methodology page.
