How many clicks per second can you hit? Pick a duration, click as fast as you can, and get a precise CPS reading.
Clicks per second (CPS) is exactly what it sounds like: your average number of clicks each second over a fixed window. It's a popular benchmark for gamers and a quick way to compare clicking techniques.
The first click starts the clock, so there's no penalty for reaction time. A 5-second test rewards a fast burst; 10 or 30 seconds better reflects what you can actually sustain. Your best result is kept in the Best CPS pill.
Most people land around 6–8 CPS with normal clicking. 8–10 is fast, and techniques like jitter or butterfly clicking can push past 12–15 CPS — though those stress the switches.
We start a high-resolution timer on your first click and count clicks until the chosen duration ends, then divide: cps = clicks / seconds. A longer window (10s or 30s) gives a more representative average than a 5s sprint.
Sustained jitter/butterfly clicking puts extra cycles on the switch and can shorten its life or cause chatter over time. If you're testing for chatter specifically, use the double-click test.
