Measure how many times you can click per second over a duration you choose.
Example
50 clicks in 5 seconds is 10 CPS, 65 clicks in 10 seconds is 6.5 CPS and 180 clicks in 30 seconds is 6 CPS. A single click in a 5-second test scores 0.2 CPS.
Calculation method
Choose 5, 10 or 30 seconds and click the area to start. The first click starts the timer and also counts, and every click until the time runs out is added, so the score is simply the number of clicks divided by the chosen duration.
Important notes
Mouse switches, touchscreen sampling, input lag and browser performance all affect how many clicks are registered, so scores are not directly comparable across devices. Some games and competitions prohibit auto-clickers or special techniques, and this test cannot tell them apart.
Clicks divided by seconds
Choose 5, 10 or 30 seconds and click the area to start. The first click starts the timer and also counts, and every click until the time runs out is added. The score is clicks per second: 50 clicks in 5 seconds is 10 CPS, 65 clicks in 10 seconds is 6.5 CPS and 180 clicks in 30 seconds is 6 CPS. A single click in a 5-second test scores 0.2 CPS. The running count is shown while you click, and the final result appears when time is up.
Short bursts versus endurance
Short tests reward a fast burst, while longer tests show how well you sustain the pace, which is why the same person often scores lower over 30 seconds than over 5. Compare results only between tests of the same duration. Technique makes a large difference: keeping the wrist relaxed and using the fingertip is steadier than tensing the whole arm. On touchscreens, tapping with two fingers alternately can raise the count, so note which method you used when comparing.
Hardware, fairness and comfort
Mouse switches, touchscreen sampling, input lag and browser performance all affect how many clicks are registered, so scores are not directly comparable across devices. Some games and competitions prohibit auto-clickers or special clicking techniques; this test cannot tell them apart. Very rapid clicking wears mouse switches over time and can strain the hand and forearm. Take breaks, stop if you feel discomfort, and do not use a trackpad or mouse you rely on for work for long clicking sessions.

50 clicks in 5 s | 10 CPS |
65 clicks in 10 s | 6.5 CPS |
180 clicks in 30 s | 6 CPS |
1 click in 5 s | 0.2 CPS |
Frequently asked questions
Which duration should I choose?
Short tests reward a fast burst, while longer tests show how well you sustain the pace, which is why the same person often scores lower over 30 seconds than over 5. Compare results only between tests of the same length, otherwise the numbers describe two different abilities.
Does technique make a difference?
A large one. Keeping the wrist relaxed and clicking with the fingertip is steadier than tensing the whole arm. On touchscreens, tapping with two fingers alternately can raise the count, so note which method you used when comparing your own results over time.
Is rapid clicking bad for my hand or mouse?
It can be. Very rapid clicking wears mouse switches over time and can strain the hand and forearm. Take breaks, stop if you feel discomfort, and avoid long clicking sessions on a trackpad or on a mouse you rely on for work.
