Manual Click Test
A click speed test with no time limit. The clock starts on your first click and runs until you stop it, or race to 100, 500 or 1000 clicks. See total clicks, time, average and live CPS, a chart and your last 10 runs.
Left click, tap, or Enter and Space count. Press Esc or Stop to end the run.

About the manual click test
When an untimed test is useful
A regular click speed test stops after a few seconds, which measures bursts. Without a countdown you decide when the run ends, so you can warm up your hand before a timed attempt, see how long you hold a pace, or count clicks for as long as a task takes.
It is also a cheap switch check. Click a few hundred times at a steady pace and compare the count with what you meant to do. A worn or cheap switch that chatters adds extra clicks, and the double click test will show whether those are real doubles. For a target race, pick 100, 500 or 1000 and the test stops on the last click, giving a result like "1000 clicks in 1:42.3".
How the numbers are worked out
Each left click or tap is counted the moment the button goes down, and Enter or Space counts once per press. The clock starts on your first click, so moving to the pad costs nothing. Average CPS is total clicks divided by the time from the first click to when you stop (or to the target click). A run shorter than half a second counts as half a second, which keeps a single tap from showing a huge rate. Last 1s is the number of clicks in the most recent second, and the peak burst is the best such second in the whole run. The chart groups clicks into slices of half a second or longer for long runs, so you can see where your pace dropped.
Tips and typical numbers
- Most people hold 5 to 7 CPS for a minute of regular clicking, well below their 5-second best.
- For 1000 clicks, pace yourself. Starting at your burst speed usually ends in a slower total time.
- Rest your wrist on the desk and click with the finger, not the arm, for long runs.
- Stop if your hand or forearm aches. Long jitter clicking sessions strain tendons.
Limits worth knowing
The browser only sees clicks the operating system passes on, and some mice and touchscreens merge very fast presses. Right-click does not count, and holding Enter or Space does not add extra clicks. Pressing the Stop button never counts as a click, because it sits outside the pad. History is stored only in this browser and keeps your last 10 runs.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a time limit on the manual click test?
No. The clock starts on your first press and runs until you press Stop or Esc. It does not end because time ran out. Choose 100, 500, or 1000 if you want the run to stop on that click instead.
How do I start and stop a run?
Left-click, tap, or press Enter or Space on the pad. The first press starts the clock. Press Esc or the Stop button to finish. Stop sits outside the pad, so it does not add a click. The pad then ignores presses for 0.6 seconds so a follow-up press does not start another run.
How is average CPS calculated?
Average CPS is total clicks divided by the seconds from your first press to the moment the run ends. If that span is under half a second, the score uses half a second so one quick tap does not show a huge rate.
What is the difference between average CPS, last 1s, and peak burst?
Average CPS covers the whole run. Last 1s is how many clicks landed in the latest second while the run is still going. Peak 1s burst is the most clicks inside any one-second stretch of that run.
What do 100, 500, and 1000 do?
They are click targets, not timers. The run still starts on your first press and stops on its own when the count reaches the number you picked. The big result is then the time it took. Stop early and the result stays an average CPS, and that history row is marked as stopped short of the target.
What do the pace names mean?
They label the average CPS of the finished run. Turtle is below 4 CPS. Rabbit is 4 to just under 6, Horse is 6 to just under 8, Leopard is 8 to just under 11, and Cheetah is 11 or more.
Are my runs saved, and why might a press not count?
This browser keeps your last 10 runs. They stay after a reload and never leave this browser. Clear history removes them. The pad counts a left click, a tap, or one Enter or Space press. It ignores right-click, and holding a key down does not add extra clicks. Some mice and touchscreens also merge very fast presses into one. Stop and Reset sit outside the pad, so they never add a click.
