CPS Test
Pick a time, click the box as fast as you can, and see your clicks per second.
How to use the CPS test
Pick a test length
Choose anywhere from 1 to 100 seconds. Most players compare scores on 5 or 10 seconds.
Click the box
Your first click starts the timer, so there's no countdown to wait for.
Click as fast as you can
Clicks, CPS and time left update live until the bar fills.
Check your result
You get your CPS, CPM, rank, and a chart of your clicks in every second.
Beat your score
Play again, copy your result to share it, or switch to Challenge mode.
What is a good CPS?
A good CPS is 6 to 8 clicks per second with normal clicking. Most people score 4 to 7 CPS on their first 10 second test. Regular PvP players often reach 8 to 10, and scores above 12 usually need a technique like jitter or butterfly clicking.

How to increase your CPS
Warm up first. Run two or three short tests before going for a record.
Anchor your wrist. Rest it on the desk and click with your finger, not your whole arm.
Try a claw or fingertip grip. Arching your hand lets your finger move faster than a flat palm grip.
Train in short bursts. 5 second tests build speed; 30 and 60 second tests build stamina.
Learn jitter clicking for short fights, and practise it on the Jitter Click Test.
Take breaks. Fast clicking techniques strain the wrist and forearm. Stop if it hurts.
Check your mouse. If clicks feel missed or doubled, run the Mouse Test.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CPS test?
A CPS test counts how many times you click a mouse button in a set time and divides it by the seconds to give your clicks per second (CPS). Gamers use it to measure and train click speed, especially for PvP games like Minecraft, where faster clicking can mean more hits.
What is the average CPS?
Most people average around 5 to 7 CPS. Your score depends on the test length: short tests show your peak speed, while 30 to 100 second tests are lower because your hand gets tired.
What is the difference between CPS and CPM?
CPS is clicks per second and CPM is clicks per minute. To convert, multiply CPS by 60, so 8 CPS equals 480 CPM. Gamers usually compare CPS, and your result on CPSTest.io shows both.
What are jitter, butterfly and drag clicking?
They are techniques for clicking faster than normal:
- Jitter clicking: you tense your forearm so one finger vibrates on the button, usually reaching about 10–14 CPS.
- Butterfly clicking: you alternate two fingers on the same button, often reaching 15–20 CPS or more.
- Drag clicking: you slide a finger across the button so it bounces, which some mice count as 25+ clicks per second.
Some servers treat very high CPS as cheating, so check the rules before using these.
Which CPS test length should I use?
Use 5 or 10 seconds to compare with other players, since those are the most common benchmarks. Pick 1 or 2 seconds to see your peak burst speed, and 30, 60 or 100 seconds to test how well you keep your speed as your hand tires.
Does my mouse affect my CPS?
Yes, but less than your technique. The click switch decides whether very fast clicks register as separate clicks, and a worn switch can double-click and inflate your score. Polling rate mainly changes how quickly a click reaches your computer, not how many clicks are counted. The Mouse Test checks for double-clicks.
Does CPS matter in Minecraft?
CPS matters most in Minecraft 1.8-style PvP, where there is no attack cooldown, so more clicks can mean more hits. From version 1.9 onward, the attack cooldown rewards well-timed hits over spam clicking. Many servers' anti-cheat systems also flag unusually high CPS. The Kohi Click Test is built around old-school PvP.
How accurate is this CPS test?
The timer uses your browser's high-resolution clock and starts on your first click, and any click after time runs out is ignored. A short pause after each test stops a late click from starting a new one by accident, so your score reflects only the clicks inside the time limit.
Does the CPS test work on phones?
Yes. Taps count on phones and tablets, and every finger that touches the box counts as a click. Tap scores are usually lower than mouse scores, so compare phone results with other phone results.
What is Challenge mode?
Challenge mode is a set of 10 levels, each a 5 second round with a CPS target. Level 1 asks for 5 CPS and level 10 asks for 14 CPS. Hit the target to unlock the next level; your progress is saved on your device.
