Quick answers before you test
What is a good CPS?
Regular clicking lands at 4–7 clicks per second. Jitter clicking reaches 8–12, butterfly clicking 10–15 and drag clicking above 20. Games such as Minecraft PvP care about consistency as much as the peak.
Why are some intervals flagged?
Two clicks under 20 ms apart cannot come from one finger. They usually mean a worn switch registering twice, which also causes accidental double-clicks in games.
Run the double-click test →Does the test work on a phone?
Yes; taps count as clicks. Touch screens report at their own rate, so compare phone results with phone results.
What the result actually measures
The timer starts on the first click and counts every pointer-down event inside the box, or every Space press in keyboard mode, for the chosen duration. It reports clicks per second, the best one-second window, a consistency score from the spread of intervals between clicks, and the number of intervals shorter than 20 ms.
Measurement boundary: Clicks are counted as the browser delivers them; a heavily loaded browser can drop or delay events. Drag clicking depends on the mouse surface and is not distinguished from double registration by timing alone.
How to interpret the output
Clicks per second
Total clicks divided by the duration. Short windows reward bursts; 30 and 60 seconds show endurance.
Best second
The most clicks in any rolling one-second window: your true peak.
Consistency
100% means every interval was the same length. Jitter clicking is fast but uneven; butterfly clicking is usually more consistent.
Troubleshooting unexpected results
Clicks are not counted
Click inside the box. Some browsers ignore very fast clicks if a text field has focus; click the box once to focus it.
Too-fast count is high
Your mouse may be double registering. Run the double-click test; if it confirms, the switch is worn and the mouse will also misfire in games.
Space bar mode does nothing
Press the Space bar button so it shows as active, then click the box once to give it focus.
Frequently asked questions
Is drag clicking detected?
Drag clicking produces bursts of extremely short intervals, so the too-fast counter rises. The test cannot tell drag clicking from a faulty switch by timing alone; the double-click test can.
Why does my CPS drop in longer tests?
Fatigue. Most people lose 20–40% between a 5-second and a 60-second window. Consistency is the better long-test metric.
Can I save my score?
Yes: save it to your Device Passport, copy a result card or share a link. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to.
