About the CPS Test

The CPS test counts how many times you can click in a set time and works out your clicks per second (CPS). The timer starts on your first click, so you never lose time getting ready. As well as your average, it shows your fastest single second and a chart of every second, which shows whether you start fast and tire. Pick 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 100 seconds, or tick the spacebar option to test key presses instead. Your best score for each length is kept in your browser.

  3. 3 Keep clicking until the time runs out.
  4. 4 Read your CPS, your fastest second and the per-second chart, then try to beat it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good score in the 1-second CPS test?

Most people click about 6 times a second, so around 6 clicks in 1 second is normal. 10 or more (10 CPS) usually means jitter clicking, and players who butterfly or drag click can go well past that.

What is a good CPS?

Most people click about 6 to 7 times a second. 8 to 10 CPS is fast, and above 10 usually takes a technique such as jitter clicking (tensing the arm so the finger vibrates) or butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers on one button).

What is the world record for clicks per second?

Records claimed online vary a lot, and many use drag clicking, which rubs a finger along the button to get several clicks per stroke. Normal clicking tops out at around 14 to 16 CPS for the fastest people.

Why does my CPS drop in longer tests?

Fast clicking tires the small muscles of your hand within a few seconds. That is why 1 and 5 second tests give the highest scores and 60 or 100 second tests measure stamina more than speed.

Does my mouse affect my CPS?

A little. A light, low-travel button and a wired or low-latency wireless mouse help. Some mice also have debounce settings that ignore very fast double clicks; a mouse that registers one click as two (double-click fault) will show an unusually high score.

Is the CPS test safe for my mouse?

Normal fast clicking is fine. Drag clicking and hard jitter clicking can wear out switches sooner and may strain your wrist, so take breaks.
