How to use
- Choose a duration. 5 seconds is the default and the most common benchmark; 10 seconds is the Kohi standard; 30–100 seconds test endurance.
- Click anywhere inside the big pad. The timer starts on your first click, not on a button, so your first click already counts.
- Keep clicking until the progress bar fills. CPS, total clicks and elapsed time update live.
- Read your result and the rank under the stats. Your best CPS for this session stays in the Best box.
- Hit Try again to run another round, or Share to copy your score as text.
What CPS is and how the test counts it
CPS means clicks per second. The formula is simple: total clicks divided by the length of the test. Click 42 times in 5 seconds and you get 8.4 CPS. The number matters in games where every click is an action: Minecraft PvP (each click is a hit), Roblox clicker games, cookie and idle games, and any fight where spam-clicking beats holding the button.
Our counter listens for pointerdown events on the pad, so a click is registered the moment the button goes down, before it comes back up. The timer is performance.now(), which gives sub-millisecond precision instead of the whole-millisecond clock most counters use. The test ends exactly at the chosen duration, and the final CPS is total clicks divided by that duration — no rounding tricks, no "bonus" clicks after the bar fills.
Right-clicks, middle-clicks and keyboard presses are ignored in this mode. If you want to test the right button or the spacebar, use the dedicated tests — the same engine, different input.
Average CPS: what is normal, what is fast
Numbers from the biggest click-test sites are consistent. By the data published on cps-check.com, an average person clicks at 5–7 CPS for 10–60 seconds; regular clicking tops out around 5–8 CPS, jitter clicking reaches 12–20 CPS, butterfly clicking lets practised players score up to about 30 CPS, and drag clicking depends entirely on the mouse and can pass 100 CPS. By the data on cpstest.org, most visitors land between 5 and 10 CPS.
| CPS (5 s) | Rank | Who gets it |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Turtle | First try, trackpad, or clicking with a thumb on a phone |
| 4–7 | Average | Most people with a normal mouse |
| 8–13 | Fast | Regular gamers, light jitter |
| 14–25 | Pro | Jitter or butterfly technique, PvP players |
| 25+ | Inhuman | Drag clicking, double-click mice or an autoclicker |
The rank thresholds match the four-tier split used for Minecraft PvP on cpstest.org (1–3 extremely slow, 4–7 moderately slow, 8–13 moderately high, 14+ extremely fast), with an extra tier on top for results that a plain mouse cannot produce. Two things to remember when comparing: short tests give higher CPS than long ones, because nobody keeps a burst going for a minute, and a 1-second test is mostly luck of when you started.
How to increase your CPS
- Grip. Rest the finger on the button, don't lift it. The travel distance of a mouse switch is under a millimetre; the extra centimetre your finger flies through is wasted time.
- Two-finger tapping (butterfly). Alternate index and middle finger on the same button. It roughly doubles your rate with the same per-finger speed and is the most common technique in the 15–25 CPS range. Check the server rules first — see below.
- Forearm tension (jitter). Tense the arm so the hand vibrates and the finger taps the button. High CPS, but tiring and hard on the wrist; use it in short bursts only.
- Mouse choice. Light switches with a short pre-travel click faster. Wear matters too: an old mouse can double-click on its own and inflate the number, which is a fault, not a skill — the mouse test on this site counts those.
- Practice in short sets. Three to five rounds of 5–10 seconds, rest, repeat. Improvements come from coordination, not from grinding a 100-second test.
Autoclickers and server rules
A high CPS number is fun, but in Minecraft it is also watched. Hypixel's rules state that anything which automates any player gameplay action is strictly disallowed — modifications, external software or hardware — and explicitly list auto/burst clicking buttons or macros. That covers autoclickers, mouse-software macros and the "rapid fire" buttons on some gaming mice. Butterfly, jitter and drag clicking are physical techniques, not automation, and are not named in the rules; however, anti-cheat systems look at click patterns, and a perfectly even rhythm looks like a bot no matter how it was produced. If you drag-click or use a mouse that double-clicks, you are relying on the anti-cheat judging your pattern as human. There is no published CPS cap, so treat any exact "ban number" you read on forums as hearsay.
Beyond the rules there is also the hit register: Minecraft combat has cooldowns and knockback that reward timing over raw CPS, and many players report that hits stop registering above roughly 13 CPS on Hypixel (that figure comes from cpstest.org, not from the server itself). In short: practise for a solid 8–14 CPS with a clean rhythm, and keep the 30 CPS runs for the leaderboard.
What makes our CPS test different
- No ads on or around the pad. The clicking area is a plain box; nothing pops up mid-test and nothing shifts the layout while the timer runs.
- Precise timing.
performance.now()for the clock andpointerdownfor the click, so the result is not distorted by frame timing or by the browser's click-event delay. - Seven durations on one page, including the 10-second Kohi standard and a 100-second endurance run, with best score remembered for the session.
- Touch works. Tap the pad on a phone or tablet; every tap counts the same way a click does.
- Everything runs in your browser. No account, no leaderboard submission, no request sent when you click.
Privacy: the test is pure client-side code. Your clicks, results and best score never leave the page; there is no server that receives them. The page itself loads an analytics script, so the Network tab is not empty — but nothing you type or click is part of it.
FAQ
What is a good CPS?
By the data on cps-check.com, 5–7 CPS is average, above 7 is good and 10+ is very good. Anything past 14 CPS in a 5-second test puts you in the top tier of Minecraft PvP players by the cpstest.org split.
Which duration should I use?
5 seconds is the standard most people compare on. 10 seconds is the Kohi test used by Minecraft PvP communities. 1 second is a fun burst but noisy; 30–100 seconds show whether you can keep the pace.
Why is my CPS lower on a long test?
Because bursts fade. Nearly everyone drops 20–40% between a 5-second and a 60-second run — that is normal, not a bug in the counter.
Does the test work on a phone?
Yes. Tap the pad with a finger; each tap counts as a click. Two thumbs alternating is the mobile equivalent of butterfly clicking.
Is a high CPS bannable in Minecraft?
High CPS from your own fingers is not against Hypixel's rules; autoclickers, burst-click buttons and macros are explicitly disallowed. There is no published CPS cap, so ignore exact "ban numbers" from forums.
Can I test my right mouse button or the spacebar?
Use the right-click and spacebar tests on this site. They run on the same engine with the same timer, so the results are directly comparable.
