How it works
Pick a duration, then click anywhere in the arena — your first click starts the timer. Every raw pointer-down event is counted (nothing is filtered or dropped), the live CPS updates as you go, and when time runs out you get your final clicks-per-second score plus an animal-tier rank from 🐢 Turtle to 🐆 Cheetah. The share button generates a score card image right in your browser and hands it to your device's share sheet.
For fair comparisons, use the 5 or 10 second runs — those are the durations most leaderboards quote. Regular clicking lands most people at 5–7 CPS; jitter clicking reaches 10–14, and butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers) can pass 15. Longer runs of 60–100 seconds measure endurance rather than burst speed and are dramatically harder to keep above 8 CPS. Curious where you stand? See our click speed benchmarks, and if your mouse seems to miss clicks, verify it on the mouse tester first.
Understanding your CPS score
CPS means clicks per second — the number of mouse-button presses you register in a set time window, divided by the seconds elapsed. The click test counts every raw pointer-down event with no rounding or dropped inputs, so your score reflects exactly how fast your finger and your mouse switch can cycle. Pick 5 or 10 seconds for a score you can compare with others; 1 second measures raw burst speed; 60–100 seconds measures endurance.
CPS ranges: where do you land?
| CPS | Tier | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| 3–6 | Average | Normal single-finger clicking |
| 6–8 | Fast | Practiced regular clicking |
| 8–11 | Very fast | Jitter clicking (tensing the arm to vibrate) |
| 11–15 | Elite | Butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers) |
| 15+ | Exceptional | Drag clicking (friction across the button) |
Techniques, honestly
- Jitter clicking vibrates your whole arm to bounce the finger. It is hard on the wrist — take breaks.
- Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one button. Some games ban it as it can register double inputs.
- Drag clicking relies on the mouse's coating and switch and won't work on every mouse. It can wear switches out faster.
A high CPS score is a game, not a health check. If your goal is a reliable mouse, run the mouse tester — a switch that "double-clicks" will inflate your CPS but is actually a fault.
Why your score varies
Fatigue, mouse switch type, surface, and even your frame rate all move the number. Lightweight mice with light-actuation switches (optical or low-force mechanical) click faster than stiff office mice. Warm up first, and take your best of three runs.
Troubleshooting
› My clicks feel faster than the counter
Every browser click event is counted — none are dropped. If the count seems low, your mouse may have switch bounce filtering or debounce delay; test it on the mouse tester.
› Does jitter or butterfly clicking register?
Yes — the arena counts raw pointer-down events, so any technique that produces real clicks counts. Drag-clicking depends heavily on the mouse and may register inconsistently.
Frequently asked questions
› What is a good CPS?
Most people click 5–7 CPS with normal clicking. 8–10 is fast; jitter clicking reaches 10–14; and butterfly clicking can exceed 15 CPS.
› Which duration should I pick?
5 or 10 seconds is the standard for comparing scores. 1 second favors burst speed; 60–100 seconds test endurance.
› Can I share my score?
Yes — the end screen generates a result image you can download or share directly via your device’s share sheet.
› Does the click test work on mobile?
Yes — taps count as clicks, so you can test your tapping speed on any phone or tablet.
