How to use the CPS test
- Pick a test length. 5 seconds is the default. Pick 10 seconds to compare with most other click tests.
- Click inside the box. Your first click starts the timer and counts as click 1.
- Keep clicking until the timer ends. Keep the pointer inside the box: clicks outside it don’t count.
- Read your score. The CPS test shows your clicks per second, your peak second, your rhythm and a graph.
- Press R or Try again for another run. After a run, the box ignores clicks for 1 second, so a late click doesn’t start a new test by accident.
Your best score for each length is saved on this device, so you can see when you improve. Share result makes a link a friend can open to try to beat you. You can also press Space or Enter while the box has focus. Those keyboard runs never set a best, since key presses aren’t clicks.
How the click test calculates CPS
CPS means clicks per second. The click test divides your clicks by the test length: CPS = clicks ÷ seconds. So 62 clicks in a 5-second test is 12.40 CPS, and clicks per minute is CPS × 60.
The timer starts on your first click, not when the page loads, so you never lose time getting ready. Each click is stamped with the time your browser received it, to the millisecond. A click on the last millisecond counts, and later clicks don’t. Peak CPS is your best 1-second stretch within the run.
Any click speed test or clicker test works this way; the details differ. Some testers start the timer when the page loads. Others count the click that ends the test, so scores from different sites don’t always match.
There are limits. The browser only sees a click after the mouse has filtered its switch signal, which is called debounce. A worn switch can still slip extra clicks through. An auto-clicker can fake any score, which is why perfectly even clicks are flagged and never saved as a best.
Which test length should I pick?
| Length | What it shows |
|---|---|
| 1 second | A burst: your top speed. The score is a whole number of clicks. |
| 3 seconds | A short burst that also shows your peak second. |
| 5 seconds | A quick check. It’s the default here. |
| 10 seconds | The common standard, used for Minecraft “Kohi” scores. Use it to compare with friends. |
| 30 and 60 seconds | Endurance. The 60-second test gives clicks per minute directly. |
| 100 seconds | A marathon that shows how much you slow down. |
Compare scores only at the same length. Short tests give a higher CPS, because your hand has no time to tire. A CPS test of 1 second can’t show your rhythm or slowdown, while a 10-second click test can.
Understanding your results
| Number | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| CPS | Your clicks per second over the whole test. | Compare it with your best at the same length. |
| Peak | Your fastest 1-second stretch. | A big gap between peak and CPS means you started fast and faded. |
| Rhythm | How much the gaps between clicks vary. Lower is steadier. | Relax your grip: tension makes the rhythm uneven. |
| Slowdown | How much slower the last third was than the first. | Build stamina with 30-second tests. |
| “Less than 10 ms apart” | Butterfly or drag clicking, or your mouse may be double-clicking. | Clicking with one finger? Test the mouse. |
| New personal best | Your best score at this length so far. | Share the result or download the card. |
The graph shows your clicks over the last second as the test runs. The bars under the score show each second of the run. This CPS counter keeps no global leaderboard, because nobody can check scores typed into a website. Your history stays on your device.
How to click faster
- Regular clicking. Rest your fingertip near the front of the button, keep your grip loose and support your wrist on the desk. It’s the most controlled method.
- Jitter clicking. You tense your forearm so your finger vibrates on the button. It’s fast, but it tires and strains the arm quickly.
- Butterfly clicking. Two fingers take turns on the same button. Some game servers don’t allow it.
- Drag clicking. Sliding a finger along the button makes the switch bounce and register many clicks. Many servers ban it, and it wears out the switch.
- Hardware. A mouse with light switches, or a shorter debounce time in its software, can help a little.
Stay safe. Keep sessions short and take breaks. Stop if you feel pain, numbness or tingling in your hand or wrist. Game servers may limit how many clicks count, and most ban macros and auto-clickers. Want to measure key presses instead of clicks? Use the spacebar counter.
CPS test for Minecraft (the 10-second Kohi test)
Minecraft PvP players often quote a “Kohi” score: clicks per second over a 10-second test. Pick 10 seconds here to get the same kind of number. Compare like with like: a 10-second score is lower than a 1-second burst, because your hand tires. Servers may cap the clicks they count, and many ban macros, auto-clickers and drag clicking. Check your server’s rules before you practice a method.
CPS test on phones and tablets
Taps count like clicks, and every finger counts, so two thumbs work. The box blocks zoom, text selection and the long-press menu while you tap. Hold the phone sideways for a bigger box. Compare phone scores only with other phone scores, because tapping is a different motion from clicking.
Right-click and left-click CPS
Choose Right under the box to count only right clicks, or Any to count every button. The right-click menu is blocked inside the box. On a touchpad, a two-finger tap counts as a right click. On a Mac, Ctrl+click counts as a left click, because that’s the button you press. Any cps tester online sees the same buttons your browser does.
