How to Use It
- Choose a run length: 1, 5, or 10 seconds.
- Click, tap, or press Space or Enter inside the box as fast as you can. The clock starts on your first input.
- Read your score in clicks per second when the run ends, then click again to try another run.
What the Results Mean
| Clicks per Second | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| 4 to 6 | Casual clicking |
| 7 to 9 | Fast clicking |
| 10 to 14 | Usually jitter or butterfly clicking |
| 15 and up | Usually butterfly or drag clicking |
These are rough ranges, not a scale. Your result depends on your mouse, your hand, and the technique you use.
Clicking Techniques
Normal Clicking
One finger, one click per press. The most natural technique and the easiest on your hand.
Jitter Clicking
Tensing your forearm so the mouse vibrates, firing several clicks a second beyond what a normal press can reach.
Butterfly Clicking
Alternating two fingers on one button to roughly double a normal clicking rate.
Drag Clicking
Dragging a finger across the button so its switch fires many times from one motion, common on mice with a soft or concave button.
Jitter, butterfly, and drag clicking strain the hand and wear out mouse switches faster than normal clicking. If your mouse registers clicks you didn't make, check it with the mouse test.
