Click speed test

How many clicks per second can you do?

Click the box as fast as you can until the timer runs out. You'll get your clicks per second, and a check that your mouse isn't sending two clicks for one.

Getting double clicks? Try these first

  • Run the test again with one finger and a steady rhythm, to rule out two quick clicks of your own.
  • Blow compressed air around the edge of the button. Dust in the switch can cause bounce.
  • In Windows, Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mouse → Additional mouse settings lets you slow the double-click speed, which hides mild cases.
  • Check the maker's software for a "debounce" setting. Some gaming mice let you raise it.

How the click speed test works

Pick a length, then click the box with your main mouse button as fast as you can. The timer starts on your first click. When it runs out, your clicks per second (CPS) is the number of clicks divided by the length of the test. Your best score for each length is saved in this browser.

Short tests reward a quick burst, while the 30 and 60-second tests show how long you can keep the pace up. Scores from different lengths aren't directly comparable.

Clicking techniques

Regular clicking is one finger at a normal pace. Jitter clicking tenses the arm so the finger vibrates on the button. Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on the same button. Jitter and butterfly clicking are much faster, but they're hard on the hand and the mouse, so take breaks.

The double-click check

Every press is timed. If two arrive less than 30 milliseconds apart, faster than a finger can move, the test reports a double registration. One or two in a fast run may be your own technique, but repeated ones on slow, single-finger clicks point to a worn switch.

Common questions

Can I use a trackpad or touchscreen?

Yes. Taps count the same as clicks. The double-click check only applies to mice, because several fingers can touch a screen at almost the same moment.

Does a higher polling rate improve my CPS?

Not noticeably. Even a basic mouse reports 125 times a second, far more often than anyone can click. Switch feel and button weight matter more.
