Click speed test
How many clicks per second?
Pick a time, hit the pad, and keep going until it stops. The clock starts on your first click.
Mouse, trackpad or finger. Holding a key down does not count.
What CPS means
CPS is clicks per second: the number of clicks you land divided by the length of the test. Twenty-six clicks in a five-second run is 5.2 CPS. Short tests flatter you, because anyone can burst for a second; a 30 or 60 second run shows the pace you can actually hold.
What is a good score?
| CPS | Roughly |
|---|---|
| Under 4 | Relaxed clicking |
| 4 to 6 | Typical for most people clicking normally |
| 6 to 8 | Quick |
| 8 to 10 | Very fast for one finger |
| Over 10 | Usually needs a special technique |
These bands are a rough guide, not a standard. Mice, trackpads and touchscreens register clicks differently, so compare your scores on the same device.
Clicking techniques
- Regular clicking. One finger, normal presses. Easy to keep up for a long test.
- Jitter clicking. Tensing the forearm so the hand vibrates onto the button. Fast, tiring, and not something to do for long.
- Butterfly clicking. Two fingers alternating on one button.
- Drag clicking. Dragging a finger across the button so friction makes it bounce. It depends heavily on the mouse.
If your hand or forearm starts to ache, stop. A number on a web page is not worth a sore wrist.
Why does the test feel different on a phone?
On a touchscreen you can alternate two thumbs, which most people find faster than one mouse finger. That is tap speed rather than click speed, and it is the kind that matters in tap games.
Fast fingers? Put them to work.
