CPS Test
Measure your click speed in clicks per second. Pick a duration, then click the pad as fast as you can until the timer runs out — your first click starts the clock. You'll see live CPS, a rank, and a breakdown of your clicks over time. Want to test the other button? Try the Right Click CPS Test.

Clicks over time
5s testHow it works
Choose how long you want to click for — short tests like 1 or 5 seconds reward a fast burst, while 30, 60, and 100 seconds test stamina as your hand tires. The clock starts the instant you make your first click, so there's no countdown to waste your reaction time. We tally every click and divide by the duration to get your clicks per second, and the chart breaks your run down over time so you can see whether you started strong and faded or paced yourself evenly.
What's a good CPS?
A typical click rate is around 5–8 CPS. Crossing 8 is considered fast, and 10–14 CPS usually involves a special technique rather than plain clicking. The all-time records run much higher over short bursts, but those rely on jitter, butterfly, or drag clicking. Because burst speed and endurance are different skills, always compare yourself against the same test length — your 1-second score will look very different from your 100-second score.
Clicking techniques
- Normal clicking — one finger, one click. Comfortable and sustainable, usually up to about 8 CPS.
- Jitter clicking — tensing your arm so your finger vibrates rapidly. Faster, but tiring and hard to control.
- Butterfly clicking — alternating two fingers on one button so each tap registers separately.
- Drag clicking — dragging a finger across the button so friction fires many clicks at once. Hard on switches.
Check your hardware
Your mouse can hold you back as much as your fingers. A sticky switch, low polling rate, or double-click fault all sabotage a fast test. See how often your mouse reports to your PC with the Mouse Polling Rate Tester, or measure end-to-end responsiveness with the Input Lag Tester.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPS score?
Most people click somewhere around 5 to 8 clicks per second in a normal test, so anything in that range is perfectly average. Getting consistently above 8 CPS is good, and sustained scores in the 10–14 range usually mean you're using a faster technique like jitter or butterfly clicking. Very short tests inflate the number because you can burst, while 30- or 100-second tests pull most people lower as your hand tires — so compare scores at the same duration.
How is CPS calculated?
CPS is just your total clicks divided by the length of the test in seconds. If you click 42 times in a 5-second test, that's 42 ÷ 5 = 8.4 CPS. The timer here starts on your very first click and counts that click, so you don't lose time reacting to a countdown. Picking a longer duration smooths out luck and measures stamina, while a 1-second test is purely about peak burst speed.
What is the Kohi click test?
The Kohi click test is a 10-second CPS test that became the standard benchmark in the Minecraft PvP community. It's named after the Kohi Minecraft server, known for competitive hardcore-factions PvP, where a higher click rate meant better combos and knockback. Mechanically it's identical to any other CPS test — click as fast as you can for 10 seconds — so selecting the 10-second option here gives you the same Kohi-style result.
How can I click faster?
Beyond normal clicking, players use a few techniques: jitter clicking, where you tense your arm to make your finger vibrate on the button; butterfly clicking, alternating two fingers on one mouse button; and drag clicking, where friction across the button registers many clicks at once. They can push CPS well into the teens but take practice and can be hard on your hand and mouse. A light mouse switch and a high polling rate help too, but accuracy and timing usually matter more than raw speed.
Does my mouse affect my CPS?
It can. A mouse with light, responsive switches is easier to click rapidly, and a high polling rate reports each click with less delay. Some mice also suffer from click latency or double-click issues that throw off fast testing. If your numbers feel off, it's worth checking your hardware — a mouse polling rate tester and input lag tester can show whether your mouse is keeping up with your fingers.
Is clicking really fast bad for me or my mouse?
In short bursts it's harmless, but heavy, repetitive fast-clicking can strain your fingers, wrist, and forearm, so stop if you feel any pain and don't make marathon sessions a habit. Aggressive techniques like drag clicking also wear out mouse switches faster and can void some warranties. Treat the test as a quick benchmark or bit of fun rather than something to grind for hours.
