CPS Test
Measure your clicks per second across 1, 5, 10 and 30-second modes. The timer starts on your first click — click as fast as you can and beat the benchmarks below.
Clicks: 0 · Time: 5.0s
Best score this session: 0.0 CPS
How the CPS test works
- Pick a mode: 1, 5, 10 or 30 seconds. Short modes reward burst speed; longer modes test stamina.
- Click inside the pad — the timer starts on your first click.
- Keep clicking until the timer hits zero. Your final clicks-per-second appears, and your best score for the session is tracked.
What is a good CPS score?
Average clicking sits around 6–7 CPS. With practice, most people reach 8–10. Techniques like jitter and butterfly clicking push higher, at the cost of accuracy and comfort.
| CPS (5s) | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Below average | Casual, single-finger clicking |
| 5–7 | Average | Typical for most players |
| 8–10 | Fast | Regular gamers; steady technique |
| 11–14 | Very fast | Jitter clicking territory |
| 15+ | Elite | Butterfly or drag clicking |
Clicking techniques
Normal clicking uses one finger and tops out around 7 CPS. Jitter clicking tenses your arm to vibrate the finger for 10–14 CPS. Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one button for 15+ CPS. Drag clicking drags a finger across the button so friction registers many clicks at once. The faster techniques strain your hand and are banned on many game servers, so use them sparingly.
Does the mouse affect your CPS?
Yes. Light switches with a short actuation and a mouse with low click latency make fast clicking easier, which is why techniques like drag clicking work better on certain switch types. If a single click ever registers as two, that is a hardware fault, not skill — check it with the double-click test.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good CPS score?
Around 6–7 CPS is average. 8–10 is fast, and anything above 11 usually involves jitter or butterfly clicking. See our full guide on what counts as a good CPS.
What is the best mode to measure my real click speed?
The 5-second mode is the standard benchmark — long enough to be consistent, short enough to sustain full speed. The 1-second mode measures peak burst; 10 and 30 seconds test stamina.
How do I click faster?
Practise, keep a relaxed grip, and rest your palm for stability. Jitter and butterfly clicking reach higher numbers but strain your hand and hurt accuracy, so build normal speed first.
Why does my click sometimes count twice?
That is a double-click fault in the mouse switch, not fast clicking. It inflates your CPS and causes misclicks in games. Confirm it on the double-click test.
Is this CPS test accurate?
Yes. It times from your first click to the end of the mode using a high-resolution timer and divides total clicks by the exact duration, so the reading reflects your true rate.
Does my mouse change my CPS?
It can. Lighter switches and lower click latency make fast clicking easier, and some switch types suit drag clicking. Your technique still matters most.
