Click Speed
Click as fast as you can for five seconds. Your clicks per second against a normal curve with mean 6.5 and SD 1.8, our estimate from published click-test leaderboards rather than a population sample.
The clock starts on your first click and runs for 5 seconds. Mouse, touch, or hold Enter and tap it.
Finish the 5-second test to see your clicks per second.

About this test
The click speed test counts how many times you can click in five seconds and divides by five. Most people land between 6 and 8 clicks a second with a normal mouse and one finger. The comparison uses a normal curve with mean 6.5 and SD 1.8, our estimate from published clicker leaderboards. There is no population survey of clicking, so the sample is whoever takes click tests, which skews young and skews gamer.
Technique matters more than hardware. Jitter clicking (tensing the forearm) reaches 10 to 14 CPS, butterfly clicking (two fingers alternating) can double a normal rate, and drag clicking exploits the mouse switch and is banned on most game servers. A regular office click has about 60 to 80 ms of travel, which caps a relaxed hand near 8 CPS.
What is a good clicks per second score?
Around 6 to 8 CPS is typical for a normal mouse with one finger. Above 10 CPS usually means jitter or butterfly clicking. The top of public leaderboards sits near 14 to 16 CPS, and anything higher is normally a macro or a drag click.
How is the CPS test scored?
Clicks in a five-second window divided by five. We count the pointer press, not the release, so the mouse's own latency is not added. Your percentile comes from a normal curve with mean 6.5 and SD 1.8, an estimate rather than a census.
Does a gaming mouse increase CPS?
A little. Lighter switches and lower debounce times let fast clicks register that an office mouse would merge. The bigger gain is technique: butterfly clicking roughly doubles a one-finger rate on the same mouse.
Percentiles above come from the same parameters the Click Speed module uses. See the methodology for how they are calculated.
