CPS test – click speed test

CPS stands for clicks per second. A click speed test counts your clicks in a fixed time and divides by the number of seconds. Say you choose the 10-second mode and click 72 times: your score is 72 ÷ 10 = 7.2 CPS. In the 5-second mode, 40 clicks give 8.0 CPS, higher because a shorter burst gives your hand less time to tire.

Gamers use the test to warm up and to compare techniques for games where fast clicking helps, such as Minecraft PvP. It is also a quick way to try a new mouse, compare your left and right hands, or challenge friends. The timer starts with your first click, so you never lose time to reaction.

Mode	Best for
1–2 seconds	Pure bursts: very high but unstable scores
5 seconds	The most common benchmark for comparing with friends
10–15 seconds	Balances speed and stamina
30–60 seconds	Endurance: how well you sustain your speed
100 seconds	A long stamina challenge

You can test the left or the right mouse button; on a phone or tablet, tap the box. The right-click menu is blocked during the test. Scores drop as tests get longer because your hand tires, so always compare results from the same mode and button.

Live CPS updates while you click. When time runs out, you get:

• A per-second graph showing where you started fast and where you faded.
• A rank title based on your score. It is a playful label, not a scientific rating.
• Consistency: how evenly your clicks were spaced.

If the gaps between clicks are suspiciously machine-like, the result shows an autoclicker hint. Human clicking always varies a little; perfectly even timing usually means software or a macro did the clicking. The hint is a heuristic, not proof, but it keeps leaderboard comparisons honest.

As rough guidance, normal clicking with one finger tends to land somewhere around 5–8 CPS, and special techniques push higher in short tests:

• Jitter clicking: tensing the forearm so the finger vibrates on the button. Fast, but tiring and hard on the wrist.
• Butterfly clicking: alternating two fingers on the same button. Can register very high CPS, though some game servers limit it.
• Drag clicking: sliding a finger across the button so friction creates many clicks. Depends heavily on the mouse surface.

Take breaks. Rapid repetitive clicking for long sessions can strain the hand and wrist; stop if you feel pain.

• Warm up. A few easy rounds loosen the hand before a serious attempt.
• Find a grip that lets your finger move freely. A claw or fingertip grip usually allows faster clicks than resting your whole palm on the mouse.
• Keep the motion small. Lift your finger only as far as the switch needs to reset.
• Relax your shoulder. Tension spreads down the arm and slows you over 10 seconds or more.
• Practice in short sets. Several 5-second rounds with rests beat one long, tiring session.

The per-second graph shows where you fade, so you know whether to train speed or stamina.

Your top 10 scores for each test length are saved in this browser's local storage, with your best result highlighted. Nothing is sent to a server, and clearing your browser data resets your records. The share card turns your result into an image you can download or send from your phone's share menu.

If your score jumps suspiciously high or single clicks open folders, a worn switch may be registering one press as two. Check it with the mouse test. For other challenges, try the spacebar counter, the aim trainer or the reaction time test.
