Tests & Benchmarks
CPS Test (Click Speed)
Test how many clicks per second you can achieve in 10 seconds.
The CPS (Clicks Per Second) test is the standard benchmark for gamers and productivity enthusiasts to measure raw mouse clicking speed. The world record is around 14-16 CPS. The average person clicks 5-7 CPS.

Formula and method
CPS = Total Clicks / Time (seconds)
Raw browser input capture measuring total mouse clicks divided by elapsed time. Tested in a 10-second window for consistency with competitive benchmarks.

Assumptions and limits
- 10-second testing window
- Standard single mouse button
This tool provides an educational estimate. Rules, rates and personal circumstances can change the answer. Review the assumptions before relying on a result. Report a correction.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a mechanical keyboard instead of a mouse — CPS tests are specifically for mouse clicking speed.
- Butterfly clicking (two fingers alternating) — some platforms ban this technique for competitive scores.
- Not warming up — click speed typically peaks after 2-3 warm-up rounds.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPS score?
5-7 CPS: Average. 8-10 CPS: Above average (good gamer). 11-13 CPS: Excellent (competitive). 14+ CPS: World-class. Most Minecraft PvP players aim for 8-12 CPS.
Can I improve my CPS?
Yes. Practice jitter clicking (tensing wrist muscles), use a gaming mouse with a light trigger weight, and maintain a relaxed grip. Most people improve by 2-3 CPS within a few weeks of practice.
Does mouse quality affect CPS?
Yes significantly. Gaming mice have polling rates of 1000Hz vs 125Hz for standard mice, meaning they register clicks 8× more frequently. A high-quality switch also has lower actuation force, enabling faster clicks.
