## How to test your click speed

1. Pick a test length: 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds.
2. Click the pad. The clock starts on your first click, and that click counts.
3. When the time is up, read your clicks per second. Then try again to beat it.

## Questions

### What is CPS?

CPS means clicks per second. The test divides the clicks you made by the length of the test, so 40 clicks in 10 seconds is 4.00 CPS.

### Why do short tests score higher than long ones?

A burst is easier to hold for one second than for sixty. Over a long test the hand tires and the rhythm slows, so the average falls. Compare results at the same length.

### What limits how fast I can click?

Mostly the hand and finger. The switch matters too: it has to travel and reset, and the mouse firmware filters out contact bounce, which is called debounce. A worn switch can sometimes register one press twice, and the mouse test on this site can help you check that.

### Is anything recorded?

No. The count lives in this page and is gone when you close it. Nothing is uploaded or stored. The test length you pick is remembered on this device.
