CPS test: measure your clicks per second
The CPS test counts how many times you can click in a set time and turns it into clicks per second. Pick a duration from 1 to 60 seconds, start clicking, and watch the live counter, the countdown bar and your current CPS. When time is up you get your score, a rank, a second-by-second graph and a saved best for that duration.
Click speed matters in games such as Minecraft PvP, osu! and clicker games, and the test is also a quick way to check that a mouse button registers every press without double-clicking. A spacebar mode measures presses per second on the keyboard in the same way.
The test runs in your browser with no account; best scores are kept only in your own browser storage, and nothing is uploaded.
How to use the CPS Test
- Choose a duration: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 seconds. 5 and 10 seconds are the most common for comparing scores.
- Choose Click for the mouse or touchscreen, or Spacebar for the keyboard.
- Click (or press Space) inside the big green area — the timer starts on your first click.
- Keep going until the bar fills. Clicks, live CPS and time left update as you go.
- Read your CPS, rank and per-second graph, then press Try again (or Enter) to beat your best.
CPS Test features
Seven durations
From a 1-second burst to a 60-second endurance test, each with its own saved best score.
Live counter and countdown
Clicks, CPS and time left update every frame, with a progress bar along the bottom of the click area.
Multi-touch counting
On phones and tablets every finger counts, so two-thumb tapping is measured correctly.
Spacebar mode
Measures key presses per second and ignores the operating system’s auto-repeat, so holding the key does not cheat.
Per-second graph
See whether you start fast and fade or build up speed — useful for pacing on the longer tests.
Ranks and best scores
Each result gets a rank from Turtle to Godlike, and your best CPS per duration and mode is remembered on this device.
What is a good CPS?
Most people click a standard mouse at around 5 to 7 clicks per second with one finger. The ranks used here are rough bands rather than a standard: under 3 CPS is warming up, 3–5 is Turtle, 5–7 Rabbit, 7–9 Cheetah, 9–12 Lightning and 12 or more Godlike. Short tests give higher numbers than long ones because nobody can hold a sprint for a minute, so always compare scores on the same duration.
CPS is simply total clicks divided by the test length. 42 clicks in 5 seconds is 8.4 CPS; 300 clicks in 60 seconds is 5.0 CPS.
| Technique | Typical CPS | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Regular clicking | 4–7 | One finger pressing the button normally. |
| Jitter clicking | 8–14 | Tensing the arm so the hand vibrates and the finger taps rapidly. |
| Butterfly clicking | 10–20 | Two fingers alternating on the same button. |
| Drag clicking | 15–30+ | Dragging a finger across a textured button so it bounces; many games count it as cheating. |
Kohi click test and other test lengths
The “Kohi click test” comes from the Kohi Minecraft server, where players used a 10-second test to compare click speed for PvP. Our 10-second option is the same idea. 1-second tests show peak burst speed, 5 seconds is the common sprint, 30 and 60 seconds measure how well you keep a rhythm when your hand tires. Use the per-second graph to see where you lose speed.
For keyboard rather than mouse speed, try the Spacebar mode here or the Typing Speed Test, and check your keys register correctly with the Keyboard Tester.
Tips to click faster and avoid strain
- Rest your wrist and move only the finger; tension in the arm slows you down after a few seconds.
- For butterfly clicking, keep the two fingertips close together and alternate evenly rather than racing.
- A mouse with a lighter switch and a shorter travel registers quicker; so does a higher polling rate (500–1,000 Hz).
- If a single click sometimes counts as two, the switch is “double-clicking” — the mouse, not you, is adding clicks.
- Stop if your hand hurts. Repetitive strain is real; a few 5-second runs are plenty.
CPS Test FAQ
How is CPS calculated?
Clicks per second = number of clicks ÷ test length in seconds. 35 clicks in 5 seconds is 7.0 CPS. The live figure during the test uses the time elapsed so far.
What is the average clicks per second?
With ordinary clicking most people score 5–7 CPS on a 5- or 10-second test. Jitter and butterfly techniques push this to 10 or more, and drag clicking can exceed 20.
Does the CPS test work on a phone?
Yes. Tap the green area on your phone or tablet; each finger is counted separately, so tapping with two thumbs is measured correctly.
Why does my score drop on the 30- and 60-second tests?
Fatigue. Almost everyone starts at a sprint and slows after 5–10 seconds, which the per-second graph shows clearly. Compare long-test scores only with other long tests.
Does holding the spacebar count as many presses?
No. The keyboard’s auto-repeat events are ignored, so only real presses count. You have to release and press again each time.
Where are my best scores stored?
In your browser’s local storage on this device only. They are never sent anywhere, and “Clear best scores” removes them.
