CPS Test — Clicks Per Second
Click or tap as fast as you can for 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. We show your clicks per second (CPS) and a rating so you can see how fast your clicking really is.
About the CPS Test
CPS stands for clicks per second. It is the standard way to measure clicking speed, and it is used by gamers to compare mouse and tap speed. A typical result is around 5 to 7 CPS; players who drag-click or butterfly-click can go much higher.
Choose a short duration to test raw burst speed, or a longer one to test how long you can keep going. The timer uses your device's high-resolution clock, so the result is accurate on phones, tablets and desktops.

About
The CPS Test measures how many mouse clicks you can register in a chosen time window ranging from one to sixty seconds. It records every valid click and divides the total by the elapsed seconds to produce a clicks-per-second rate. The tool runs entirely in the browser and requires no installation or account creation.
When you press the start button the timer begins immediately and the click counter resets to zero. Each press of the primary mouse button increments the counter while the timer counts down. At the end of the interval the final CPS value is displayed along with your raw click total and the duration you selected.
How your result is scored
Your result is calculated by dividing the number of clicks recorded during the active interval by the exact length of that interval in seconds. The score updates in real time while the test runs and locks in the final figure the moment the timer reaches zero.
A higher CPS indicates faster clicking speed over the chosen duration. Short bursts of one to five seconds usually yield higher rates than longer periods because fatigue sets in. Compare your number across different time settings to see how endurance affects your pace.
Tips to improve
- Use a lightweight mouse with a low actuation force.
- Keep your hand relaxed and use a fingertip grip rather than a full palm grip.
- Practice short intervals daily to build muscle memory.
- Warm up your fingers with light stretches before testing.
- Avoid moving the mouse during the test to prevent missed clicks.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the test count double clicks as one or two?
- Each registered press of the primary button counts as one click regardless of system double-click settings.
- Can I use a touchpad or touchscreen instead of a mouse?
- Yes, taps on a touchpad or touchscreen are registered the same way as mouse clicks.
- Why does my CPS drop when I choose a longer time?
- Fatigue and reduced consistency over extended periods naturally lower the average clicks per second.
- Is there a way to save or share my best score?
- The page shows your latest result; you can copy the number manually or take a screenshot to share.
