Click Speed Test — How Many Clicks Per Second (CPS) Can You Do?
The click speed test (also called a CPS test) counts how many times you can click in a fixed window and reports clicks per second. It is used by players to compare clicking speed, and by anyone checking whether a mouse button registers every press.
Quick answer: Pick a duration and click the pad as fast as you can: the score is total clicks divided by time, with your best run saved in this browser. Most people land between 4 and 7 CPS; above 8 is fast, and the record-holders pass 10 using drag or butterfly techniques.
Timer: 5 seconds
| Modes | 1, 5, 10, 30 and 60 seconds, plus a click counter with no timer |
|---|---|
| Typical scores | 4–7 CPS for most people; 8+ is fast; 10+ needs a specialised technique |
| What limits your score | Your finger, the mouse switch, and how the browser samples events |
| Best score | Stored locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server |
How the CPS score is calculated
The timer starts with your first click and stops after the selected duration; the score is the number of clicks recorded divided by the elapsed time in seconds, rounded to two decimals. Because repeated clicks are separate events, a mouse with a failing switch will often score lower than the same hand on a healthy mouse — which makes this a rough but useful hardware sanity check as well as a game.
Why two people with the same finger speed score differently
Switch travel, debounce time and how the browser coalesces events all affect the raw number, as does the surface the mouse sits on. Scores are comparable on the same machine and mouse; across devices, treat them as a personal baseline rather than an absolute ranking.
When to use this test
- Comparing clicking speed with friends on the same test and duration
- Checking whether a mouse button registers every rapid click (a switch that drops clicks will show a low score)
- Practising for games where clicking speed matters
- A quick check that a new mouse's main buttons feel consistent between the left and right side
