About this one minute click test
This 60 second CPS test is the long one. A full minute of clicking is far less about how fast your hand can go and far more about how soon it tires. The clock starts with your first click or tap, and at the end you see your clicks per second, written CPS, together with a list of your clicks in each stretch of five seconds, so you can watch the speed fall. The test is free, needs no account, and your results stay in this browser.
How to take the one minute test
- Press Start. Sit so that your arm is relaxed and your wrist is not bent hard.
- Click or tap at a pace that feels easy. A whole minute is a long time.
- Keep going until the seconds left reach nothing. You can press Stop at any moment and nothing is saved.
- Read your clicks per second, then look at the stretches of five seconds to see when your pace began to fall.
What a one minute result shows
Nobody has measured how fast people click in a study, so there is no average to set you against. Click-test sites do quote ranges for each way of clicking, and we show them as community ranges, not norms, drawn with a dashed line[1]. They are meant for bursts. Over a whole minute almost everybody lands well under the range for their way of clicking, and that is not a failure but what a minute does to a hand.
| Way of clicking | Clicks a second |
|---|---|
| Ordinary clicking with one finger | 3 to 9 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Jitter clicking | 10 to 14 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Butterfly clicking | 15 to 25 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Drag clicking | 25 to 100 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
The first view of your result quotes a click-test site's figure for an average person over runs of up to a minute, 5 to 7 (community range, not a norm)[2] clicks a second[2]. The most useful comparison is still with your own earlier minutes. The page keeps them in this browser and draws them as short ticks beside your result.
What a whole minute measures
A short test measures a peak. A minute measures what is left when the peak has gone. Muscles that are asked to repeat the same small movement hundreds of times run short of fuel, and the movement gets slower and less regular. The fall in speed is the one figure on this page that a short test cannot give you, which is why it is worth the effort of a full minute.
Everything is counted in your browser. The result stays here, is never put in a link and is never sent to us. You can read about us to see who makes the site.
Reading your fatigue curve
Look at the list of five second stretches as a curve. A steady hand gives numbers that stay close together. A hand that went out too fast gives a high first stretch and a slope downwards. A hand that tires in steps gives a plateau, a drop, and another plateau. The shape tells you where to work: if the drop comes early, begin more slowly; if it comes late, build up your endurance with regular practice.
- A flat curve at a modest pace beats a high start that collapses.
- Short rests of a day or two between long runs give better results than runs back to back.
- A looser grip lowers the cost of every click.
- The last ten seconds are mostly willpower. Finish them even if the number is small.
Take care of your hand
A full minute of fast clicking is hard work for the small muscles of the hand and forearm. Stop at once if your hand or wrist starts to ache, rest it, and do not repeat the test many times in a row. Shake your hand loose between runs. If an ache stays after you have rested, talk to a doctor. Nothing on this page needs you to push through discomfort.
Questions
Is a full minute of clicking bad for my hand?
It is a lot of repeated movement, so go easy. Click at a comfortable pace, stop if anything aches, and rest between runs. Nothing on this page asks you to push beyond what feels fine.
Why do I slow down so much?
Because the hand tires. Everybody slows over a minute; the figure that matters is how much, and whether it improves with practice.
Can I stop in the middle?
Yes. Press Stop or Escape. A stopped run is not a result, so nothing is saved, and you can start again whenever you like.
Is my minute comparable with someone else's?
Only roughly. Different mice, screens and ways of clicking all change the number, and nobody has published a method for ranking clicking speed. Your own earlier minutes are the fairest comparison.
