This page measures clicking rhythm

CPS means clicks per second. The page counts primary clicks during a fixed countdown, then reports the whole-run average and the highest rolling 1-second burst. The average is better for consistency; the 1-second peak is better for short bursts.

What to compare

  • Clicks: total primary clicks during the countdown.
  • Average CPS: total clicks divided by test duration.
  • Best 1-second CPS: highest burst inside any rolling one-second window.
  • Recent results: compare multiple runs to see fatigue or rhythm changes.

Click speed and CPS test steps

  1. Choose a duration that matches your purpose: 5 seconds for a quick warm-up, 10 seconds for a short benchmark, and 30 or 60 seconds for consistency testing.
  2. Click Start, or click inside the test area to start automatically. Keep the pointer inside the test area so accidental focus changes do not interrupt the run.
  3. Click as fast as you can until time ends, but keep the same grip and finger method for each comparison.
  4. Check Avg CPS and Best 1s CPS separately. Average CPS describes the whole run, while Best 1s CPS shows your fastest short burst.
  5. Export or reset if you need to compare several mice, browser profiles, switch settings, or practice sessions.

Browser counting limits

  • Captures pointerdown events that reach the browser tab.
  • Left click only for mouse devices, so secondary clicks and context-menu actions do not distort the result.
  • Best 1-second CPS is computed from click timestamps in a sliding 1-second window.
  • Browser focus, pointer capture, accessibility settings, auto-clickers, power-saving mode, high CPU load, and wireless receiver quality can all influence the result before the page records a click.
  • CPS does not prove mouse health; use the button or double-click pages for missed clicks and repeat clicks.

Good uses

  • Practice click rhythm before a game or aim routine.
  • Compare short bursts with longer sustained clicking.
  • Feel how different mouse switches affect rhythm.
  • Compare scores fairly by using the same duration and browser.
Click speed, CPS, and score variation questions

Q: Why doesn't right click count?
A: The test focuses on primary-button speed and avoids right-click menu interference.

Q: Is Avg CPS the same as Best 1s CPS?
A: No. Avg CPS measures the whole run; Best 1s CPS measures the highest burst.

Q: Does an uneven score mean the mouse is faulty?
A: Not by itself. Rhythm, fatigue, desk height, browser load, and hand position can all change CPS. Use the button or double-click test if clicks are missing or repeating.

Click speed feels lower than expected?

Run 2-3 rounds and compare average consistency, not only the peak value. If performance drops sharply after the first run, it is usually rhythm or fatigue rather than a hardware fault. A single low score is weak evidence because timing can be affected by tab focus, hand position, browser load, and whether the mouse is wired, wireless, or routed through a hub. For hardware comparison, use the same duration, same surface, same browser, and the same finger technique. If one mouse repeatedly shows lower average CPS but similar Best 1s CPS, the issue may be comfort or endurance. If both values are unstable across runs, check switch feel, USB connection, battery level, and background apps before replacing the device.
