Isolate one key
Testing one key at a time removes variability from hand movement and tells you whether a specific switch feels fast or sluggish.
Key Speed Test
Pick a key from the selector or choose Any, then run a timed burst. The workspace reports total presses, presses per second, and your best saved result.

only in localStorage and can be cleared here.
About this test
Compare by duration
Five second speed is burst speed. Thirty second speed includes fatigue, so always label the duration when comparing results.
Local best only
Your best timed result can be saved in localStorage. It is never sent to a server.

Which key should I test?
Start with a common key such as A, Space, or Enter, then test the key you suspect is slow or failing.
Can I use the mouse instead?
This tool is keyboard-focused. Use the CPS test if you want to measure clicking speed.
What is the average key press speed?
Average users press about 6-8 keys per second. Gamers and typists often reach 10-12. Your score depends on practice, switch type, and hand positioning. Use the test to benchmark your baseline and improve over time.
How long should I test for?
For a quick baseline, test 5 or 10 seconds. For more accurate stamina measurement, use 30 or 60 seconds. Shorter tests reflect raw speed, longer tests add fatigue. Choose based on your goal.
Is there any way to cheat the counter?
No. The tool registers each keydown event, so holding the key won't register repeated presses. It counts only physical key presses, ensuring accurate measurements. Use one finger per session for consistent results.
