Clicks Per Minute Click Chronometer Run the test

Single interval

Clicks in 100 seconds, endurance

The longest interval here, and the only one where pacing beats technique outright. Past the minute mark, the question stops being how fast you can click and becomes how long you can keep doing it.

Clicks per second of the interval

The bars fill as you click. A flat profile means you held your rate; a falling one means the interval outlasted your finger.

The interval

Clicks in 100 seconds

Past the minute

A hundred seconds is roughly the point where every burst method has already failed. Jitter is gone by forty seconds, butterfly by sixty for most people, and what remains is whatever your hand does when it is no longer trying to be clever.

Readings here are lower than anywhere else on the bench and steadier than anywhere else. A hundred-second result repeated a week later will normally land within twenty CPM of the first — which makes it the best interval for tracking whether practice is doing anything.

Pacing a hundred seconds

Pick a rate you believe you can hold to the close and open at it, not above it. The per-second chart is scored in two-second buckets at this length, so a fade shows up clearly, and almost every high result on this interval has a chart that looks like a straight line rather than a ramp.

Stop if the forearm burns rather than aches. Nothing on this page is worth a tendon.

Calibration

Where your reading sits on the CPM scale

Move the marker to read the scale, or run an interval and it snaps to your own result. Bands are set on a ten-second interval, the length most people can hold honestly.

Casual 0–300 0.0–5.0 An unhurried finger — one press at a time, no method behind it.
Steady 300–450 5.0–7.5 A relaxed wrist and a light switch. Most people land here on a first honest try.
Quick 450–600 7.5–10.0 Deliberate practice: the finger stays loaded and never fully leaves the switch.
Rapid 600–780 10.0–13.0 Jitter or a trained two-finger butterfly, plus a switch with a short reset.
Elite 780–1000 13.0–16.7 Butterfly at pace, held clean. Rare beyond a five-second interval.
Instrument-limited 1000+ 16.7+ Past here you are usually reading the mouse, not the hand — drag clicking or switch chatter.

Other click tests

The other intervals

The same clock and the same arithmetic, over a different span. A rate that holds across two intervals is a rate you actually have.

Rapid clicking is a physical activity with a real injury profile. The fatigue threshold arrives inside twenty seconds — information, not an obstacle.

Questions

Asked of the chronometer

What is a good hundred-second result?

Between 500 and 650 clicks, roughly 300 to 390 CPM, is a strong sustained figure. Readings here sit below every other interval on the bench, and that is the point: nothing is projected, and nothing is borrowed from a good first ten seconds.

Why track progress on the longest interval?

Because it is the steadiest one. A hundred-second result repeated a week later usually lands within 20 CPM of the first, so a real change from practice shows up clearly instead of disappearing into run-to-run noise.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The interval is closed by a timer rather than by an animation frame, so a backgrounded tab does not stretch the run, and the elapsed time is clamped to the nominal hundred seconds. The rate you get is the rate for the interval you were asked to fill.

A clicks per minute test measures the average click rate you hold, the peak click frequency inside the interval, and the per-minute click consistency between them. Run the 10-second interval three times, read the mouse click speed score against the calibration bands, and take the middle result as your click rate.
