How fast can you click?
The click speed test, also known as a CPS test, counts how many times you can click a mouse button in a set time and reports the result in clicks per second. Gamers use it to train for titles where clicking speed matters, such as Minecraft PvP, clicker and idle games, and rhythm games. It's also a quick, fun challenge to share with friends — and a simple way to check that your mouse button registers every click.

CPS ranges at a glance
| CPS | Level |
|---|---|
| Under 5 | Relaxed clicking |
| 5–7 | Average |
| 7–9 | Fast |
| 9–11 | Very fast — usually trained or jitter clicking |
| 12+ | Exceptional — butterfly or drag clicking territory |
Short tests produce higher numbers because you can sustain your peak speed for a second or two. Over 30 or 60 seconds, endurance matters and most people's CPS drops noticeably.
Clicking techniques
Regular clicking uses the index finger on the left button. It's the most comfortable and is what most CPS scores are based on.
Jitter clicking tenses the forearm and wrist so the finger vibrates on the button. It can reach 10–14 CPS but is tiring.
Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one button and can exceed 15 CPS on mice whose switches register it well.
Drag clicking drags a finger across the button so friction produces many rapid clicks; it needs a mouse with a suitable surface and is not allowed on some game servers.
Tips for a better score
- Rest your wrist on the desk and click with your finger, not your whole arm.
- Warm up with a few short 1-second rounds before a longer test.
- Stop if your hand or wrist hurts. Fast clicking repeated for long periods can cause strain.
