According to Fitts's Law, which targets are easier to hit?

Fitts’s Law posits that the time taken to hit a target is a function of the distance to the target and the size of the target. In this context, larger targets that are closer are indeed easier to hit.

When a target is larger, it presents a broader area for interaction, which reduces the precision needed to select it. Additionally, when a target is positioned closer to the user, it minimizes the movement required to access it, further decreasing the time and effort involved in the interaction. Therefore, the combined effect of having a larger target and being in close proximity results in the easiest interaction scenario according to Fitts’s Law.

In contrast, smaller targets, particularly those that are either further away or closer, increase the difficulty. Smaller targets require greater precision to select, and if they are further away, they also necessitate more extensive movement—both of which result in increased interaction time.
