1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a processing system including a processor, use of a game accessory;
detecting, by the processing system, a group of stimulations of the game accessory resulting in a group of detected stimulations;
recording, by the processing system, statistics relating to the group of detected stimulations;
generating, by the processing system, an accessory map image, wherein the accessory map image includes an accessory map overlaid onto an image of the game accessory, and wherein the accessory map indicates a frequency usage of the group of detected stimulations of the game accessory according to the statistics; and
presenting, by the processing system, a group of substitute stimulations for a first portion of the group of detected stimulations to improve user performance in response to analyzing the accessory map.
