How the test works
- Click anywhere in the box to start. The first click counts.
- Keep clicking as fast as you can until the timer runs out.
- Your score is clicks per second (CPS): total clicks divided by the time.
What it measures
This click speed test counts how many times you can click in 1 second and divides by the time. Very short tests reward a fast burst; most people score higher here than on longer tests. Gamers use CPS to compare clicking speed, especially for Minecraft PvP.
What is a good score?
| Score | Better than about |

| 12.6 CPS | 99% of people (top 1%) |
| 10.3 CPS | 90% of people (top 10%) |
| 9.0 CPS | 75% of people |
| 7.5 CPS | 50% of people (average) |
| 6.0 CPS | 25% of people |

Tips to improve
- Use your strongest finger and click from the fingertip, not the whole hand.
- Keep your wrist resting on the desk and relaxed; tension slows you down.
- For longer tests, pace yourself: a steady rhythm beats a fast start that fades.
- Try jitter or butterfly clicking for higher speeds, and take breaks to protect your wrist.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPS in a 1-second test?
About 7.5 CPS is average with normal clicking. 10 CPS or more puts you in roughly the top 15%, and 12 or more is in the top 2-3%.
How can I click faster?
Relax your hand, click with your fingertip and keep a steady rhythm. Techniques like jitter clicking and butterfly clicking can roughly double your CPS with practice.
Does my mouse matter?
A little. Light, responsive switches help, but technique matters far more than the mouse.
