How the spacebar test works
Space counts exactly like clicking the red button. The timer starts on your first press. Try alternating two thumbs for higher scores.
What is a good CPS?
Most people click around 6 to 8 CPS. 10 CPS is fast, 12 to 14 CPS usually needs jitter or butterfly clicking, and anything above 16 CPS is elite. Over very short tests (1 to 5 seconds) scores run higher because your hand hasn’t tired yet.
How to click faster
Rest your wrist on the desk and click from the finger, not the arm. Try a lighter mouse with a crisp switch. Warm up with a few short tests, then practice the length you care about. Jitter clicking (tensing your forearm so your finger vibrates) and butterfly clicking (alternating two fingers) both raise your CPS, but take breaks so your hand doesn’t hurt.
FAQ
What does CPS mean?
CPS means clicks per second: how many times you click in one second, averaged over the test.
Is there a CPS limit?
No. Click Racer counts every click with no cap. Scores that look scripted go on the separate Nitrous board.
Can I use the Space bar?
Yes. Space counts the same as clicking the red button.
Do I need an account?
No. You can test right away. Create a free account (just a username) to save your best scores and appear on the leaderboards.
