How to test your click speed in clicks per second

A click speed test counts how many times you can click in a fixed time and turns it into clicks per second (CPS). Gamers use it to train, and it is a quick way to compare mice or check that a button keeps up.

The fastest way

Open the Click Speed Test, pick a length (5 seconds is the default) and click the pad as fast as you can. The timer starts on your first click and stops by itself, then shows your CPS, your click count and your best run for that length.

How to get a fair result

How to read the number

Regular clicking usually lands somewhere around 5 to 8 CPS. Above 10 normally takes a technique such as jitter or butterfly clicking. The tool labels each result with a rough band (relaxed, typical, fast, very fast), but the useful comparison is with your own earlier runs.

When the score looks too good

A mouse whose switch is wearing out can send two clicks for one press, which quietly inflates your CPS. If your score jumps for no reason, run the Double-click Tester and look for clicks only a few milliseconds apart.

A note on privacy

The test counts clicks in your browser. Nothing is installed, and your scores are not stored or uploaded.

Common questions

What does CPS mean?

Clicks per second: how many times you click in a test divided by how many seconds the test lasted. 50 clicks in 10 seconds is 5 CPS.

Which test length should I use?

5 or 10 seconds is the usual choice and the easiest to compare. 1 to 3 seconds measures a short burst, and 30 to 60 seconds shows whether you can hold your pace. Always compare scores from the same length.

What is a good CPS?

Normal one-finger clicking is usually somewhere around 5 to 8 CPS. Double digits normally take a technique such as jitter clicking (tensing the arm to vibrate the finger) or butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers on one button).

Can my mouse give me a fake score?

Yes. A worn switch can fire twice for one press, which adds clicks you did not make. A sudden jump in your score is worth checking with a double-click test.
