Click Speed Test (CPS vs CPM): What’s a Good Score + 10s vs 30s
Learn the difference between CPS and CPM, what counts as a good click speed, and whether 10-second or 30-second tests are more accurate. Then run our free click speed test and share your results.
Click Speed Test (CPS vs CPM): What’s a Good Score + 10s vs 30s
If you are comparing gaming performance, testing your mouse, or just competing with friends, a click speed test is a quick way to measure how fast you can click.

This guide explains CPS vs CPM, what “good” looks like, and why different timers (10s/30s/60s) can produce different results.
CPS vs CPM: What’s the Difference?
CPS (Clicks Per Second)
CPS = total clicks ÷ seconds. CPS is the most common metric for click speed.
CPM (Clicks Per Minute)
CPM = CPS × 60. CPM is just a scaled version of CPS.
If you see 10 CPS, that is 600 CPM.
What Is a “Good” Click Speed?
It depends on your mouse, technique, and how long the test lasts. As a rough guide for normal clicking (no macros):
- 4–6 CPS: casual / typical
- 6–8 CPS: above average
- 8–10 CPS: very fast for most people
- 10+ CPS: elite for many users (or special techniques)
Use the test mainly to compare results on the same device and setup.
10s vs 30s vs 60s: Which Timer Is More Accurate?
10 seconds (best default)
- Fast to run
- Great for quick comparisons
- More “burst speed” focused
30 seconds (more stable)
- Smooths out randomness
- Better for comparing stamina and consistency
60 seconds (consistency test)
- Helps identify fatigue or uneven clicking
- Useful if your 10s score swings a lot
That is why our tool includes 10s / 30s / 60s modes.
Why Your Click Speed Changes Between Devices
Common factors:
- Mouse switch feel (light vs heavy clicks)
- Polling rate and system load (minor effect)
- Browser + OS input handling
- Your surface and hand position
If you are troubleshooting hardware, also run:
- Mouse button reliability: Mouse Test
- Controller input: Gamepad Test
How to Get a Cleaner Result (and Avoid Fake Scores)
Our click speed test filters ultra-fast duplicate inputs (noise). For a consistent score:
- Use a stable surface and keep your wrist comfortable.
- Don’t drag the mouse while clicking.
- Use 30s mode if your 10s score varies a lot.
- If you use a macro, your score may look abnormal (and won’t reflect real skill).
Summary
If you want a quick benchmark, 10 seconds is the best default. If you want stability, use 30 seconds. Either way, CPS and CPM are the same measurement expressed differently.
