Click Speed Test – CPS Test
100% FreeNo sign-upYour first click starts the timer and counts as click #1. Best 10s mouse result: —. Everything runs in your browser.
How fast can you click? Pick a 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60-second test and click as fast as you can. Zerdly measures your clicks per second (CPS), your peak one-second speed and how consistent your clicking is, then keeps a personal best for each duration — all privately in your browser.
What is a CPS test?
A CPS test — short for “clicks per second” — measures how quickly you can click a mouse button or tap a screen. You click as fast as you can for a set time, and the test counts every click and divides by the number of seconds to give your clicking speed. It’s a quick, playful way to benchmark your mouse hand and track improvement.
How is clicks per second calculated?
Your CPS is the number of valid clicks divided by the length of the test in seconds. Zerdly records the exact moment of every click with a high-resolution timer, so a 10-second test that records 87 clicks reports 8.7 CPS. Clicks that land after the timer ends are not counted.
What is a good clicking speed?
Around 5–7 CPS is typical. Above 8 CPS is fast, and holding more than 10 CPS for a full test is excellent. Techniques like jitter clicking and butterfly clicking can push these numbers higher, but a steady, consistent rhythm is what most people can rely on day to day.
1-second vs 5, 10, 30 and 60-second tests
Short tests reward an all-out burst; longer tests reveal the speed you can actually sustain without your hand tiring. Because these are not directly comparable, Zerdly stores a separate personal best for each duration. The 10-second test is the most popular benchmark and a good default.
Mouse vs touchscreen CPS
On a computer you’re testing mouse-click speed; on a phone or tablet you’re testing tap speed. They use different muscles and hardware, so Zerdly labels touchscreen results separately and never mixes them into your mouse records.
What can affect your click speed?
Your mouse and its switches, the surface you click on, hand fatigue, grip, and simple practice all play a part. Consistency — clicking at a steady pace rather than in ragged bursts — often matters more for longer tests than raw peak speed.
How Zerdly calculates your result
The first click starts the timer and counts as click #1. Every click is timestamped with the browser’s high-resolution clock. When the timer ends, CPS is total clicks ÷ seconds. Peak 1-second CPS is the most clicks found in any rolling one-second window. Consistency comes from how evenly spaced your clicks are (the coefficient of variation of the gaps between clicks), mapped to a 0–100% score — perfectly even clicking scores 100%.
Test modes, the Daily challenge and your history
Switch between a left-click and a right-click test, or set a custom duration from 1 to 300 seconds. The 🔥 Daily is a fixed 10-second test that’s the same for everyone each day — finish it to build a local streak. Your recent attempts and personal bests are listed below the test and kept on your device; you can clear them any time.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CPS test?
A CPS (clicks per second) test measures how fast you can click a mouse or tap a screen in a fixed time. You click as fast as you can for the chosen duration, and the test reports your clicks per second along with peak speed and consistency.
How is clicks per second calculated?
CPS is simply your total valid clicks divided by the length of the test in seconds. For example, 87 clicks in a 10-second test is 8.7 CPS. Zerdly times your clicks with a high-resolution clock, so the result reflects exactly how long you clicked.
What is a good clicking speed?
Most people click around 5–7 CPS. Above 8 CPS is fast, and sustained speeds above 10 CPS are excellent. Very short tests (1 second) tend to show higher CPS than longer ones because you can't keep a burst going for 30–60 seconds.
Why do 1-second and 10-second tests give different results?
Short tests reward a quick burst of speed, while longer tests reveal the pace you can actually sustain. That's why Zerdly keeps a separate personal best for each duration — a 1-second record isn't comparable with a 60-second one.
Does the click speed test work on mobile?
Yes. On a touchscreen it becomes a tap speed test, and results are labelled as a touch result so they aren't mixed with mouse records. The whole test runs in your browser with nothing to install.
Are my results saved anywhere?
Your personal bests and recent attempts are stored locally on your own device, in your browser. Zerdly never receives your clicks or results — nothing is uploaded.
