CPS Test
Click speedCount your clicks per second over a fixed window, then see whether your hand or your mouse switch is the limit.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.How to use the CPS Test online
- 01 Pick a window — one second for a burst, ten seconds for a number worth comparing.
- 02 Choose what you are clicking: left button, right button, or the spacebar.
- 03 Click the pad to begin. The clock starts on your first click, not on a countdown.
- 04 Keep going until the timer runs out. The counter shows your rate as you go.
- 05 Read the result: average CPS, your best single second, and how even your intervals were.
- 06 Copy the numbers if you want to keep them, or run it again.
Common problems & fixes
- Clicks stop registering halfway throughSome wireless mice drop into a low-power sleep between bursts. Move the receiver to a rear USB port instead of a hub, and turn off USB selective suspend under Power Options.
- Every press counts twiceThat is switch chatter, and it inflates your CPS while telling you the switch is worn. The interval spread gives it away — real presses do not land 10 ms apart.
- Right click never firesSecondary click is off, or a Magic Mouse has it mapped to the right half of the shell. Turn it on under System Settings, Mouse.
- Spacebar mode counts presses I did not makeKey repeat is filling in the gaps. Tap and release rather than holding, and check the interval spread for suspiciously even gaps.
- Counts look doubledMacro daemons and input remappers sometimes duplicate button events. Clear your libinput or xinput remaps and try again.

While you are here, you can also check whether a worn switch is doubling your presses, find out how often your mouse reports position, or watch the spacebar register on every tap.

Frequently asked questions
Four to seven over a ten-second run, for someone clicking normally. Under four usually means a stiff switch or a cautious grip, and over ten means a technique rather than individual presses.
Six is solid and eight is genuinely quick over ten seconds. Compare like with like, though — a one-second burst is a different test, and short windows always read higher.
Switch the mode to right click before you start. The pad then counts secondary clicks only, and the context menu stays out of the way while the run is live.
Yes, with one caveat. Holding the key lets your operating system's auto-repeat pad the count, so this test ignores repeated events — tap and release each time and the interval spread will stay honest.
Because you never have to pace yourself. Five clicks crammed into a second reads as 5 CPS with no fatigue, and the same effort across ten seconds almost always drops a click or two per second.
Claimed records sit somewhere around 14 to 16 clicks per second, and they lean on drag or jitter clicking rather than separate presses. Treat leaderboard numbers as a different sport from a normal run.
Close enough. The Kohi click test came from a Minecraft PvP server that settled on a fixed ten-second window, and this measures the same thing — clicks divided by time, with your best single second reported next to the average.
No. This measures how fast you can click on purpose. If a single press is registering as two, that is switch chatter, and the mouse test times the double-click interval and flags it.
No. Polling rate is how often the mouse reports its position, not how fast you can press a switch. If you want that figure, the polling rate test measures it in Hz.
No. Click timestamps stay in the tab and disappear when you close it.
