Test how fast you can hit keys on your keyboard. Press any key to start the countdown!
This test focuses specifically on keyboard input rather than mouse clicking. It measures how quickly you can repeatedly press the keyboard during the selected test period and gives you a CPS result at the end.
Choose the testing period that suits what you want to measure: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 100 seconds. A short test works well for a quick speed check, while longer sessions let you see whether your pace remains consistent.
You don't have to wait until the test finishes to see how you're performing. Instant CPS updates while the test is running, giving you immediate feedback about your current pressing speed.
The live display also keeps track of your best CPS and total clicks. This makes it possible to see both your strongest moment during the test and the overall number of presses you completed.
Choose the feedback sound you prefer, like mechanical click, bubble pop, quack, or many more from the list. If you want a quiet testing session, you can simply mute the sound.
You have control over the test while it is running. Pause lets you temporarily stop, while Reset lets you start the current attempt over. After completing the test, you can restart and make another attempt.

Don't look at CPS alone. Compare your final CPS, best CPS, and total clicks, and consider whether your performance stays consistent when you change the test duration. This gives you a more useful picture of your keyboard speed than a single number from one attempt.
