CPS Test

Click speed test: how many clicks per second can you do in 1 to 60 seconds?

Frequently asked questions

What is a good CPS?

Most people click around 5 to 7 times per second with normal clicking. 8 to 10 CPS is fast, and 10 or more usually takes a technique such as jitter clicking. Scores above 14 are typically butterfly clicking or drag clicking.

How is CPS calculated?

CPS is the total number of clicks divided by the test duration in seconds. 50 clicks in a 5 second test is 10 CPS. The live figure during the test divides your clicks by the time elapsed so far.

What is jitter clicking?

Jitter clicking means tensing your forearm and wrist so your finger vibrates on the mouse button, producing many quick clicks. It can reach 10 to 14 CPS but is tiring, so take breaks and stop if your wrist hurts.

What is butterfly clicking?

Butterfly clicking uses two fingers alternately on the same mouse button. Because each finger only clicks half the time, speeds of 15 to 25 CPS are possible, though some servers and games limit or ban it.

Does my mouse affect my CPS?

Yes. Light switches, a short travel distance and a comfortable shape help, and a mouse with a high debounce time may drop very fast clicks. A trackpad usually scores lower than a mouse.
