CPS Test

Click the arena as fast as you can for 1, 5, 10, or 60 seconds; we count the clicks, divide by the seconds, and hand you the number.

How it works

  • Pick a duration: 1, 5, 10, or 60 seconds. All four modes run on this one page, and the 10-second mode is the classic kohi-style click test.
  • Click the big arena as fast as you can. A live counter tracks your clicks and a countdown shows the time remaining.
  • When time runs out you get two numbers: clicks per second (CPS) and total clicks. No grades, no percentiles — just what happened.
  • Your best result for each duration is saved in your browser's local storage. Free, no download, no sign up, nothing sent to a server.
  • Touch taps count the same as mouse clicks, so the test works on phones and tablets too.

What is a good CPS?

The honest answer: nobody has properly measured the general population, including us. The numbers that circulate online come almost entirely from Minecraft PvP communities, where click speed affects combat and people have strong opinions. Those communities generally put ordinary one-finger clicking somewhere around 4 to 8 CPS on a 10-second test, jitter clicking around 10 to 14, and butterfly clicking higher still. Treat all of that as folklore reported by the people who practice — not as science.

We have not run a norming study and we are not going to invent one. What this page gives you instead is your own history: a best score for each duration, saved in your browser, waiting to be beaten. As benchmarks go, yourself-last-Tuesday is more useful than a percentile somebody made up.

Jitter clicking, butterfly clicking, and where the kohi test came from

The 10-second version of this test is usually called the kohi click test, after Kohi, a competitive Minecraft PvP server whose built-in click test set the format: ten seconds, one button, score in clicks per second. The server shut down years ago; the ten seconds proved more durable.

Jitter clicking is the main legal technique for inflating CPS: you tense your forearm and wrist until your finger vibrates on the button rather than pressing it deliberately. It works, it is genuinely tiring, and by most accounts it is hard to sustain much past a short burst — the 10-second mode will show you exactly where yours gives out.

Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers — usually index and middle — on the same mouse button, so each finger only has to work at half rate. It produces high CPS, and on some mice it also registers extra unintended clicks, which is why many Minecraft servers treat it as cheating: some ban it outright, and even where it is nominally allowed, those double clicks routinely trip auto-clicker detection. Drag clicking — rolling a fingertip across a textured button so friction fires a burst of clicks — gets an even warier reception, banned outright on some servers and tolerated on others only if the resulting CPS stays low. This page has no anti-cheat: the counter counts whatever your hardware reports, and how you label the score afterward is up to you.

One second and sixty seconds are different sports

The 1-second test is a burst measurement. The window is so small that the timing of a single click moves your average, so scores are noisy and the urge to immediately retry is part of the design. The 5 and 10-second tests are the standard middle ground: long enough to smooth out the noise, short enough that you can hold top speed the whole way. Ten seconds is the kohi canon.

The 60-second test measures something else entirely: endurance. Nearly everyone starts fast and sags, and watching your pace fall off in the live counter is the entire educational content of the mode. Your best is saved separately for each duration, so a heroic one-second burst and a grinding sixty-second average never have to compete.

FAQ

What is a CPS test?

CPS stands for clicks per second. A CPS test counts how many times you can click in a fixed window and divides by the seconds. This one has 1, 5, 10, and 60 second modes on the same page, shows a live counter and countdown while you click, and reports both your CPS and your total clicks at the end.

How many clicks per second is fast?

Depends who you ask, and nobody asking has run a controlled study. The numbers that circulate come from Minecraft PvP communities, which generally put ordinary one-finger clicking around 4 to 8 CPS over ten seconds, jitter clicking around 10 to 14, and butterfly clicking above that. Those are community folklore, not lab measurements, and we have no population norms of our own. The score worth beating is the one this page saved from your last attempt.

What is the kohi click test?

Kohi was a competitive Minecraft PvP server whose click test — ten seconds of clicking, scored in clicks per second — became the community standard for measuring click speed. The server is long gone; the format survived it. The 10-second mode on this page is that test.

What is jitter clicking?

A technique where you tense your forearm and wrist so your finger vibrates on the mouse button instead of pressing it deliberately. Practitioners report it can roughly double an ordinary one-finger rate. It is generally allowed on game servers, but it is tiring and hard to sustain beyond a short burst — which is exactly what the 1 and 10 second modes here will show you.

Is butterfly clicking cheating?

On many Minecraft servers, effectively yes. Butterfly clicking means alternating two fingers on the same mouse button so each finger works at half rate; it produces high CPS, and on some mice it also fires extra unintended clicks, so some servers ban it outright and on others it routinely trips auto-clicker detection. On this page nothing is banned — there is no referee and the counter counts whatever arrives — but if you post a butterfly score, say so.

Does the CPS test work on mobile?

Yes. Touch taps count the same as mouse clicks, and the arena is large enough to hit without aiming. Keep in mind that tapping a screen and clicking a mouse are different enough motions that comparing the two is apples to oranges — your saved bests live on whichever device set them.

Is the CPS test free?

Yes. Free in your browser, no download, no sign up, no account. Your best score for each duration is saved in your browser's local storage only — nothing goes to a server, there is no leaderboard, and clearing site data wipes your records. It is a burger website; the clicking is on the house.

Is clicking speed the same as reaction time?

No. A CPS test measures a repeated motor action you plan in advance; a reaction time test measures how fast you respond to a single unexpected signal, which the research literature typically reports at roughly 200 to 300 ms for visual stimuli. They are different skills and mostly do not transfer. If the single-signal kind is what you want, this site also has a reaction time test — and the Attention Span Test at /attention-test/ for when the bottleneck is not your finger.
