Click Speed Test (CPS Test)

Free online CPS (Clicks Per Second) test. Choose a duration of 1, 5, 10, or 60 seconds, click as fast as you can, and track your personal best click speed right in your browser.

What Is a Click Speed Test?

A click speed test measures how many times you can click your mouse within a fixed amount of time, expressed as CPS (Clicks Per Second). You can choose from four durations — 1, 5, 10, or 60 seconds — to measure anything from a short burst of speed to sustained clicking stamina.

The test runs entirely in your browser, and no click data is ever sent to a server. Your personal best is saved locally (in your browser's localStorage), so you can come back on the same device and browser to try to beat your own record.

How to Use the Click Speed Test

Choose a duration Pick 1, 5, 10, or 60 seconds. A short 1 or 5 second test is a good way to start measuring your burst speed.
Click the test box Clicking the box in the middle starts the timer immediately — your first click is already counted.
Keep clicking until time runs out Click inside the box as many times as you can until the countdown reaches zero.
Check your result After the timer ends, your total clicks, CPS, and rating are shown. You will be notified if you set a new personal best.

Tips for getting more out of it

Your CPS can vary depending on your mouse or trackpad and your browser's performance. Testing under the same conditions (same device, same input hardware) makes it easier to compare your results fairly.
A short 1-second test is good for measuring burst speed, while a 60-second test measures sustained clicking stamina. Try different durations depending on what you want to know.
If you feel pain in your wrist or fingers, stop and take a break rather than pushing through. Excessive rapid clicking can contribute to strain injuries like tendinitis.
Your personal best is saved per browser, so switching to a different browser or device will start you off with no saved record.

Common Use Cases

Testing a new mouse or trackpad

Check how fast you can actually click with a newly purchased gaming mouse or trackpad.

Tracking click-speed practice for games

If you are practicing fast clicking for a PvP game, use your saved personal best to track your progress over time.

Comparing click speed with friends

Take turns testing on the same device and compare your CPS scores.

Checking finger fatigue or training progress

Testing regularly gives you an objective number to see how your clicking speed changes with practice.

Glossary

CPS (Clicks Per Second): A measure of how many clicks are registered per second, calculated as total clicks divided by the test duration in seconds.
Jitter clicking: A rapid-clicking technique where you tense your arm or hand muscles to make them vibrate quickly, registering more clicks than a normal click.
Butterfly clicking: A rapid-clicking technique using two or more fingers to alternately tap the mouse button, often producing an even higher CPS than jitter clicking.
Drag clicking: A technique where you drag a finger across the mouse surface to make the button switch register rapid, repeated clicks (a form of switch chatter). How easily this works varies a lot between mouse models.
Kohi Click Test: The name of a well-known online CPS testing site, widely recognized for its 1, 5, 10, 60, and 100 second duration options.

Frequently Asked Questions

For someone clicking normally without special technique, around 4 to 6 CPS is generally considered average. Techniques like jitter clicking or butterfly clicking can push the number higher.

Small variations in muscle reaction time, along with differences in your mouse and browser performance, can cause your measured CPS to fluctuate a bit between attempts. Testing a few times and looking at the overall trend gives a more reliable picture.

It is never sent to a server — it is stored only on your device, in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browser cache or site data will erase the saved record.

No. This tool simply calculates CPS from your click count and the test duration; it does not analyze or distinguish which clicking technique you used.

Side Note — A Little History of CPS Testing and Mouse Clicks

The idea of measuring CPS (Clicks Per Second) is often traced back to online FPS and PvP gaming communities, where players wanted an easy way to compare how fast they could click. In Minecraft PvP in particular, where landing more sword hits per second gives a real combat advantage, players have long researched and refined rapid-clicking techniques to push their CPS higher.

Well-known rapid-clicking techniques include jitter clicking, where you tense your arm or hand muscles to vibrate rapidly; butterfly clicking, where two or more fingers alternate tapping the button; and drag clicking, where sliding a finger across the mouse surface triggers rapid switch chatter inside the mouse. Because drag clicking depends heavily on the specific switch inside a given mouse, whether it works at all can vary a lot between models — which is part of why some players are picky about which mouse they use.

Mechanical mouse switches are typically rated for a certain number of clicks before they wear out, and manufacturers of gaming mice often advertise switches rated for tens of millions of clicks. Players who click rapidly and frequently tend to wear out their switches faster, which is one reason "click durability" shows up as a spec on many gaming mouse product pages.
