10 Second Click Test
10 seconds on the clock. Your first click starts it.
Taps count too; every finger counts.
Your result stays here after each run.

How this test works
Ten seconds is a common length for comparing speeds. Your first click starts the clock and counts; the result is clicks divided by ten.
Each click is timed from the browser's own event timestamp. Clicks after the 10-second mark are ignored, and the pad locks for a second so a late click cannot start a new run. Left-button clicks count here; for right or both buttons, use the selector on the main CPS test.
Pacing a 10-second test
At ten seconds, pacing starts to matter. Most people cannot hold their one-second speed for ten, so start a touch below flat out and try to keep the trace level. A flat line almost always beats a fast start that fades.
Fast techniques can be hard to hold for ten seconds. Jitter clicking relies on held tension; butterfly clicking shares the work between two fingers. Test both at this length and compare your own numbers.
Use the peak second as a guide: if it is far above your average, the start was too hard.
What 10 seconds means in practice
Best for comparing speeds across days and setups. Ten seconds is where rhythm starts to matter, so it is the fair comparison length when you change mice or techniques.
At 10 seconds one extra click is +0.10 CPS. A half-second stumble at 8 CPS costs 4 clicks (5% of an 8-CPS run). To hold 8 CPS for 10 seconds you need 80 clicks in total; to hold 10 CPS you need 100.

Questions
How many clicks do you need for 10 CPS in 10 seconds?
100 clicks. Multiply the CPS you want by 10: 8 CPS is 80 clicks, 12 CPS is 120. The table below lists every score from 4 to 16.
Is 10 seconds a good length for a CPS test?
10 seconds is long enough that one lucky burst does not decide the score, and short enough that most people can hold a steady pace.
Does the CPS test start on your first click?
No. The clock starts on your first click, and that click counts. Clicks after the time runs out are ignored, and the pad locks for a second so a late click cannot start a new run.
