Step by step
- Decide whether you want to measure keyboard key presses or mouse and touch click speed.
- For mouse or touch speed, use the CPS test on this page and select a duration such as 5 seconds.
- Click or tap the big box as fast as you can; the timer starts with your first click.
- For spacebar-only speed, use a dedicated keyboard counter that listens for spacebar keystrokes.

Related questions
Can I use the CPS test on this page with my spacebar?
No, this tool only counts mouse clicks and touchscreen taps inside the click box. Pressing the spacebar will not register clicks.
Is spacebar CPS faster than mouse CPS?
Usually mouse clicking is faster because mouse switches have shorter travel distance than keyboard keys. Two-finger tapping on a phone can also beat a single-thumb spacebar press.
How is keyboard CPS calculated?
Just like mouse CPS, it divides total key presses by the test duration in seconds. For example, 40 presses in 5 seconds equals 8 CPS.
