The default CPS test, on purpose
Five seconds is the click-speed duration people actually mean when they say “CPS test.” It is long enough that a lucky 200 ms burst cannot carry the average, and short enough that you will actually finish it. This page locks the timer to 5 seconds so the title, the test, and the percentile all describe the same thing.
Average 5-second CPS on a normal mouse sits around 6–7. Eight is good. Ten is the line where people start asking which clicking method you used. The pad on this page is full-size, ads are hidden for the whole run, and your best 5-second score is stored in localStorage on this device.
How to use the 5-second result
Take two runs. Throw the first away as a warm-up. Keep the second. If you are comparing with friends, agree on standard clicking versus butterfly before you start, or you are comparing different sports. Then try the 1-second page for burst and the 60-second page for endurance — the three numbers together are a much better profile than any one of them.

FAQ
What is the average CPS on a 5 second test?
Around 6–7 on a standard mouse. Eight is good. Ten is the start of “which method was that.”
Why is 5 seconds the default?
It is the duration people search for, and the one that balances burst against control. One second is a firework. Sixty is a grind. Five is the benchmark.
Are ads next to the pad?
No. Ads hide during the run and sit well below the result. Accidental ad clicks are how CPS sites get banned.
