Click Speed Test: 10 Seconds
The counter above runs for exactly ten seconds from your first click. Ten seconds is the standard window, so when a CPS score gets quoted without a length, this is usually the one.
The timer starts on your first click, not on page load, so nothing is lost while you get ready.
Ten seconds is the reference window
Almost every clicks-per-second number people quote comes from a ten-second run. It is long enough that one lucky half-second cannot carry the score, and short enough that the forearm does not tire. Your result is the click total divided by ten.
| Clicks in 10 seconds | Clicks per second |
|---|---|
| 50 | 5.0 |
| 60 | 6.0 |
| 70 | 7.0 |
| 80 | 8.0 |
| 100 | 10.0 |
What a normal score looks like
Clicking plainly with one finger, most people land around 6 to 8 clicks per second, which is 60 to 80 clicks in the window. Seven per second means a click every 143 milliseconds. Scores far above ten usually come from a two-finger or shaking technique, or from a worn mouse switch that reports one press twice.
The mouse is part of the score
The number measures your hand and your hardware together. Switch travel, polling rate, a wireless link, and a trackpad instead of a mouse all move the result before you do. Compare your own runs on the same machine and ignore anyone else’s total.
Other windows
Shorter runs measure a burst: try 5 seconds or 1 second. Longer runs measure stamina and the rate drops, so 30 seconds is three of these back to back rather than three times the fun. Every window is listed on the click speed test page.
