Quick answer
Pick a time, then click the box. The timer starts on your first click. You get your clicks per second, the gaps between clicks, and your best score for that duration, saved in this browser only.
How to use the CPS Test
Pick a duration
1 and 5 seconds measure bursts. 30 and 60 seconds show what you can keep up.
Click the box
Your first click starts the timer. Left click, right click or spacebar, depending on the mode.

How the CPS test works
CPS is clicks per second: the number of clicks divided by the time. The timer starts on your first click and stops when the time is up, then your clicks are counted. The chart shows the gap between each pair of clicks, so you can see whether your speed was steady or came in bursts.
Your best score for each duration is saved in this browser only, using local storage. If storage is blocked, the test still works; it just can't remember your best.
Typical CPS ranges
These are rough, informal ranges for a short test with a normal click, not a scientific benchmark. Results depend on your mouse, your technique and how long the test runs. Longer tests give lower averages.
| CPS | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Under 5 | Casual | Normal clicking speed for most everyday use. |
| 5 to 8 | Typical | Where most people land with regular clicking. |
| 8 to 10 | Fast | Takes practice. Often a faster, shorter motion. |
| 10 and above | Very fast | Usually comes from jitter or butterfly clicking techniques. |
Jitter clicking means tensing your arm so your hand vibrates and clicks rapidly. Butterfly clicking uses two fingers alternating on one button. Both can strain your hand and some games and mice register them poorly, so take breaks, stop if anything hurts, and don't treat a high score as a goal worth an injury.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPS?
Most people land between 5 and 8 CPS on a short test. 8 to 10 is fast, and above that usually involves jitter or butterfly clicking. Results vary with duration, mouse and technique.
What is the average CPS?
A typical result is around 5 to 8 CPS in a 5 to 10 second test. Longer tests give lower averages because it's hard to hold top speed.
What is jitter clicking?
Jitter clicking tenses the arm so the hand vibrates and clicks rapidly. It can raise CPS but strains the hand, and some games or mice don't register every click, so use it with care.
What is butterfly clicking?
Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one mouse button. It can give a high score but may register unevenly on some mice and isn't always allowed in games. Take breaks.
Why is my CPS lower on longer tests?
Fatigue. Your hand can sustain a short burst, but over 30 or 60 seconds your pace drops, so the average falls.
Does my mouse affect my CPS?
A bit. A light mouse with a responsive click is easier to repeat quickly, but your technique matters more than the hardware.
Is my best score uploaded anywhere?
No. It is stored in your browser's local storage on this device only.
