How CPS is measured
Total presses are divided by the elapsed test time. The counter starts on your first click or keydown so you never lose time before reacting.
CPS Test
Click or press any key as quickly as you can for the selected duration. The workspace reports total presses, presses per second, and your best local result.

About this test
Clicks and keys both count
You can test mouse clicking speed with the pointer or keyboard speed with any key. Both use the same press counter.
Keep results in perspective
CPS is a burst metric. A high 1 second score is different from sustained 30 second speed, so compare results only within the same duration.

What is a good CPS score?
Scores vary by method and device. Use the same duration and input style when comparing your own sessions.
Does CPS affect typing speed?
Raw key speed contributes to typing speed, but typing also depends on accuracy, rhythm, and word recognition.
How can I improve my CPS?
Practice regularly with short bursts, use a light and consistent tapping technique, and keep your wrist relaxed. Over time, your muscle memory will develop, helping you click or press keys faster without sacrificing accuracy.
What is the difference between clicks and key presses in a CPS test?
A click measures mouse button taps, while a key press measures keyboard key taps. Both are counted individually per second in this tool, letting you compare your mouse clicking speed with your keyboard reaction speed.
Can I take the CPS test on a phone or tablet?
Yes. On touchscreens, tapping the test area acts like a click or key press. The timer and scoring work the same way, so you can measure your touch speed on mobile devices easily.
