Click Speed Test: Clicks Per Second (CPS) in 10 Seconds

Pick a time, then click the big box as fast as you can. The timer starts with your first click. You get your clicks per second, a rating and your personal best for each mode, saved only in your browser.

How the test works

Choose a length (10 seconds is the standard), then click inside the box. The countdown starts on the first click, so you do not lose time moving the mouse. Every press of the left mouse button, a finger on a touch screen or a pen tap counts once. When time is up the box locks for a moment, so a late click does not start a new round by accident. Your score is clicks ÷ seconds: 72 clicks in 10 seconds is 7.2 CPS.

The best result for each mode and your last eight rounds are stored in this browser (local storage) and nowhere else. Clearing the browser data removes them.

What is a good CPS?

There is no official scale, so treat these bands as a rough guide for a normal mouse and a 10-second test:

  • Under 4 CPS: relaxed clicking, or a first try.
  • 4 to 6: an average steady click.
  • 6 to 8: good, faster than most casual players.
  • 8 to 10: fast.
  • 10 to 14: very fast, the range of jitter clicking (tensing the forearm so the hand vibrates).
  • Above 14: usually only possible with butterfly clicking (two fingers alternating) or drag clicking (sliding a finger across the button so it bounces).

Shorter tests give higher numbers: almost anyone can reach 8-10 CPS for one second, but holding it for 60 seconds is much harder. Compare scores only within the same mode.

How to click faster

  • Click with the fingertip, not the whole finger, and keep the wrist resting on the desk.
  • Use a light mouse with a crisp switch; a worn-out switch can double-click and inflate the score.
  • Try jitter clicking for short bursts only, and stop if your arm hurts. Long sessions of tensed clicking can strain the wrist and forearm.
  • Disable "click lock" and any macro software. Many games and servers ban auto-clickers and macros, and some flag very high CPS.

Why the number can differ from other CPS sites

Some testers start the clock on page load, count the mouse-up as a second click, or divide by the time used instead of the full test length. This page counts presses only, starts on the first press and divides by the full test length, so a 10-second score is exactly clicks ÷ 10.

FAQ

What is a good click speed in 10 seconds?
Around 6 to 8 clicks per second (60-80 clicks) is good for normal clicking. Above 10 CPS usually needs jitter clicking, and above 14 butterfly or drag clicking.
How is CPS calculated?
Clicks divided by the test length in seconds. 72 clicks in a 10-second test = 7.2 CPS. The timer starts on your first click.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Each finger tap counts as one click. Touch scores are often higher than mouse scores because two thumbs can alternate.
Is my score saved?
Only in your own browser. Your best per mode and your last rounds are kept in local storage; nothing is sent to a server.
Do auto-clickers work here?
An auto-clicker can produce any number, so the result means nothing. Many games ban them; use the test to measure your own hand.
