## What this tool does

- Five Test Modes: CPS click test, right click test, double click test, drag click test and jitter click test — each with tailored guidance.
- Eight Durations: 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s and 100s cycles for burst speed and endurance alike.
- Live Score Meter + Timer Ring: Watch your rate update in real time with a circular countdown as you click.
- Peak & Consistency: See your best 1-second burst and how steady your click rhythm was on every attempt.
- Per-Second Breakdown Chart: A bar for every second shows exactly where you sped up or slowed down.
- Per-Mode Bests & History: Your top score and recent attempts are saved on your device for each mode separately.
- Speed Rank Ladder: Climb from Turtle to Lightning with a live progress bar to the next tier.
- PointerEvent Engine: Immune to the debouncing bugs that make older click tests undercount, with optional click sound and Space/Enter support.

## How to use CPS Test

1. **Choose your test mode** — Pick CPS, right click, double click, drag click or jitter click from the mode selector. Each mode counts the right action and shows technique tips built for it.
2. **Pick a test duration** — Choose 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 100 seconds. The classic benchmark is the 10-second test; 5s is best for pure burst speed and jitter/drag runs.
3. **Start clicking on the pad** — Click, right-click, double-click or drag inside the test pad depending on your mode. The timer starts on your very first action, so no reaction time is wasted.
4. **Watch your live score** — The live meter and countdown ring show your current rate while time runs, so you can push harder before the buzzer.
5. **Read your result and beat your best** — You get your score, peak 1-second burst, consistency %, speed rank and a per-second chart. Your best for each mode and duration is saved locally — hit Try Again to chase a record.

## Common use cases

- Benchmark click speed for Minecraft PvP and other games
- Practice jitter, butterfly and drag clicking and track your progress per technique
- Test right-click speed for blocking and item use in games
- Check a mouse for the double-click glitch where one press fires twice
- Verify a new gaming mouse registers every fast click and drag actuation
- Compare your CPS against friends or world-record scores, and warm up before a match

## About

### One tool, five click-speed tests

This is a full click-testing suite, not just a plain CPS counter. Switch between five modes — the classic CPS click test, a right click test, a double click test, a drag click test and a jitter click test — each with its own guidance and its own saved personal best. Every mode counts the exact millisecond timestamp of every action with modern pointer events, so nothing is missed and nothing is debounced.

### Measure, then actually improve

Pick a duration from 1 to 100 seconds, then go. You get your average score, your peak 1-second burst, a consistency rating, a per-second breakdown chart and a Turtle-to-Lightning speed rank. Your best score for every mode and duration and your last attempts are saved locally on your device, so you can warm up before a match, compare mice and techniques, and watch your click speed climb over weeks of practice.

## FAQ

### What is CPS (Clicks Per Second)?

CPS measures how many times you can click a mouse button in one second. Average users score 4-6 CPS, while skilled gamers reach 8-12 CPS using techniques like jitter clicking or butterfly clicking.

### What is a good CPS score?

A normal CPS is 4-6 clicks per second. A good score for gaming is 8+ CPS. Elite players using jitter or butterfly clicking can reach 15-20 CPS. World records exceed 14 CPS sustained over 10 seconds.

### How do I increase my clicks per second?

Practice techniques like jitter clicking (tensing your arm muscles to vibrate), butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers), or drag clicking (dragging your finger across the button). A gaming mouse with low debounce time also helps.

### Does my mouse affect my CPS score?

Yes. Cheap mice with high debounce time (over 8ms) will drop fast clicks. Gaming mice like Razer, Logitech G, and Zowie are designed to register every click, even at high CPS rates.

### What CPS do I need for Minecraft PVP?

For Minecraft Java Edition PVP, 8-12 CPS is generally sufficient. However, click consistency matters more than raw speed — irregular clicking patterns are harder to counter than pure speed.

### Can I track my clicking speed improvement over time?

Yes. This tool saves your personal best for each time mode and your last 12 attempts directly on your device, so you can watch your CPS climb across sessions. Run the same mode (e.g. the 10-second test) repeatedly and compare. Most users see improvement within 2-4 weeks of consistent practice — focus on a steady rhythm first, then raw speed.

### What is peak CPS and how is it different from average CPS?

Average CPS is your total clicks divided by the test length. Peak CPS is the most clicks you landed inside any single one-second window during the test. Peak is always equal to or higher than your average — it captures your fastest burst, which matters for short combat exchanges in games.

### What does the consistency score mean?

Consistency measures how evenly spaced your clicks were, based on the variation between each click. A score near 100% means a very steady rhythm, while a lower score means bursty, irregular clicking. In competitive games, consistent clicking is often harder to counter than pure speed.

### Is this CPS test accurate?

Yes. It records the exact millisecond timestamp of every click using the browser's high-resolution timer and modern pointer events, then divides by the precise active duration. Because it doesn't debounce inputs, it registers every click your mouse sends — making it a reliable Kohi-style click test alternative.

### Can I use the spacebar or keyboard for the CPS test?

Once a test has started, pressing Space or Enter also counts as a click, so you can compare mouse clicking against keyboard tapping. The test is designed for mouse click speed, but keyboard input is supported for flexibility.

### What is the CPS world record?

The recognized record is around 14+ clicks per second sustained over a 10-second test, with even higher figures reported for shorter bursts using butterfly and drag clicking. Reaching the top 'Lightning' rank in this tool (14+ CPS) puts you in world-record territory for sustained clicking.

### How does the jitter click test work?

The jitter click test uses the same precise timer as the CPS test but is framed for the jitter technique — you tense your forearm to create a controlled vibration that rapidly shakes the mouse button. Switch to Jitter mode, pick a short 5s duration to avoid fatigue, and watch both your CPS and your consistency score, since jitter clicking trades accuracy for speed.

### What is a drag click test and do I need a special mouse?

Drag clicking means dragging your finger across the mouse button so friction fires many switch actuations from a single swipe. Our drag click test counts every actuation your mouse actually sends to the browser. Only mice with the right switch and shell can drag-click — on other mice you'll simply see your normal click count, which is expected.

### What does the double click test measure?

The double click test counts full double-clicks per second (DPS). It's useful two ways: to benchmark how fast you can perform clean double-clicks, and to sanity-check a mouse for the 'double-click glitch' — if a single physical press ever registers as a double-click, the switch may be double-firing, a common hardware fault on worn mice.

### How is the right click test different from the normal CPS test?

The right click test counts presses of the right mouse button instead of the left, and disables the browser context menu inside the pad so your clicks aren't interrupted. It's handy for practicing the right-click actions used for blocking and item use in games, and for checking the health of the right switch, which usually wears more slowly than the left.

### Are my scores saved separately for each test mode?

Yes. Each mode — CPS, right click, double click, drag click and jitter click — keeps its own personal best for every duration, plus its own recent-attempts history. Everything is stored locally in your browser, so switching modes never overwrites another mode's record and nothing is uploaded to a server.

### Does my mouse affect my CPS?

Yes — a responsive mouse with good switches registers rapid clicks more reliably than a worn or heavily debounced one.
