1 Second CPS Test

A 1 second CPS test for your peak burst. Each click in the window is one full CPS, and five bars show which fifth of the second you clicked fastest.

The timer starts on your first click, left or right.

One second, one burst. Click the area above as fast as you can, and the count is your peak CPS.

What one second can and can’t tell you

A one second run answers a single question: how fast can you click when nothing else matters? It doesn’t tell you how fast you click in a real fight, where you have to keep going and still aim. For that, run the 10 second Kohi test or the 30 second test and compare. If your burst is far above your 10 second score, your speed comes from effort you can’t sustain. If the two are close, your rhythm holds and the burst is your real ceiling.

Expect noise. A slow start or a finger lifted early shows up in the score, so treat one run as a sample and quote your best of several.

Testing a burst technique

Burst methods are built for this window. Jitter clicking turns arm tension into a fast tremor, and butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one button. Neither has time to fade inside one second. Try your normal click first, then the technique, and keep the window the same. The jitter click test and the butterfly click test explain each method, and the CPS test puts every window on one page, from this burst up to the full minute.

How to use

  1. Get your finger ready. Rest your finger on the button. The 1 second window is preselected, and the clock starts the moment you click the big area.
  2. Fire everything at once. Don't pace yourself. A single second leaves no room to settle into a rhythm, so go flat out from the first press.
  3. Read the burst. Your score is the number of clicks that landed inside the second. The five bars under it show which part of the second was fastest.

Why test this

One second measures the top of your click speed and nothing else. Fatigue has no time to set in, so the score is your finger or your technique at full effort. Use it to compare a burst method against plain clicking, or to see whether a lighter switch lifts your peak. Stuck at the same number however hard you go? A switch that swallows quick presses can be the cap, so check the button on the double-click test before you blame your hand. Run it once after a warm up and again when you're tired. The difference is how much of your peak depends on being fresh.

What the results mean

Your CPS is simply your click count. The clock starts on your first press, which counts as click 1, and a press at the deadline or later doesn't count. Below the score sit five bars, one per fifth of the second, each scaled up to a per second rate. A tall first bar and a short last one mean you started hot and slowed down inside a single second. You won't see a fastest second line here, because the whole run is one second. Best holds your top burst for this window and button in this browser. Check the run history to see whether your peak is moving.

FAQ

What is a good 1 second CPS?
Judge it against your own longer runs, not a chart from another site. Your 1 second score should beat your 5 and 10 second scores, because nobody holds a full burst for long.
Why is my 1 second score a whole number?
Because the window is one second long, your score is your click count. Eleven clicks is 11 CPS, so there's no fraction to round.
Why does my score jump around between tries?
Nothing averages out a bad moment in one second, so a single fumbled press costs you a full point. Run it three or four times and go by your best, which this browser saves for the 1 second window on its own.
Does a 1 second best count toward my 5 second best?
No. Best is kept per window and per button, so a burst score never sits next to a longer run. Switch the selector to 5 seconds and you see the best for that window instead.
Is this test good for jitter and butterfly clicking?
Yes. Burst techniques post their highest numbers in short windows, before the tension or the finger rhythm breaks down. The counter only sees presses, so it scores every method the same way.
Is my 1 second score sent anywhere?
No. Your best and run history stay in this browser. Our anonymous click speed statistics take only 5 second runs with more than one click, so switch to 5 seconds if you want a run counted.
