CPS Test (Click Speed Test)
How fast can you click? Select a timeframe and click inside the box as fast as possible to measure your Clicks Per Second (CPS).

What is CPS?
CPS stands for Clicks Per Second. It is a metric used to measure the speed at which a person can click a mouse button. Competitive gamers, especially in Minecraft PvP (Player vs Player), use this test to improve their aiming and reaction times.
How to Calculate Clicks Per Second?
The math is simple: Divide the total number of clicks by the time in seconds.
For example, if you click 40 times in 5 seconds, your speed is 8 CPS (40 / 5 = 8).
Advanced Clicking Techniques
Pro gamers use special techniques to achieve insane CPS scores (12+):
- Jitter Clicking: Uses arm vibration to click rapidly. Requires practice and stamina. (Risk: Strain)
- Butterfly Clicking: Uses two fingers (index and middle) to alternate clicks on the same button. Often gets 15-20 CPS on specific mice.
- Drag Clicking: Dragging a finger across the mouse button to create friction vibrations. Can achieve 30+ CPS but is often banned in tournaments.
CPS Ranks
- 🐢 Turtle (0-4 CPS): Slow and steady, normal browsing speed.
- 🐇 Rabbit (5-7 CPS): Average speed for most casual gamers.
- 🐆 Cheetah (8-10 CPS): Very fast, usually achieved by experienced players.
- 🐲 Dragon (11-14 CPS): Extremely fast! Requires technique.
- 👽 Alien (15+ CPS): Godlike speed. Likely using butterfly or drag clicking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the world record for CPS?
The world record for the standard clicking method (1 second) is generally considered to be around 16-22 CPS depending on the tracking rules. With drag clicking, scores can go much higher.
Does the mouse/hardware matter?
Yes. Gaming mice with high-quality mechanical or optical switches (like Logitech, Razer, Glorious) register clicks faster and more reliably. Some mice enable "double-clicking" which drastically increases CPS for Butterfly clicking.
Is high CPS useful in games?
In FPS games (shooters), accuracy is more important. However, in Minecraft PvP (1.7/1.8 combat), high CPS helps you take less knockback and land more hits, giving you a massive advantage.
