A minute is the honest grind
Almost nobody jump-holds for a minute on purpose, which is why a 60-second spacebar page is still worth having: it is the duration that exposes a dying switch, a bad sitting position, and a technique that only works as a sprint. The clock on this page is locked to 60 seconds. It starts on the first press. Repeat keydowns are ignored. Ads hide. At about 0:20 the thumb wants to change angle. At 0:40 people start missing the stem. The average at 1:00 is the number, not the live readout you watched in the first five seconds.
Expect this score to sit well below your 5-second SPS — often a point and a half to two points. Average 60-second SPS is typically 4.8–5.5. Holding 6.5+ for a full minute is rare without a very light switch or a two-thumb roll, and a roll will start to miss as the minute goes on. If the count suddenly jumps in clumps, the switch is bouncing and you should stop; the keyboard tester will confirm it in ten seconds.
How to treat the result
Use 60 seconds when you are training stamina or checking hardware under load. It is a poor party trick and an excellent diagnostic. Compare it to your 5-second page: a small gap is a sustainable thumb. A large gap is a screenshot score. Then take the click speed 60-second test if you also want the mouse’s endurance, and do not average the two. They are different sports. Personal best for 60-second SPS is stored on this device only.

FAQ
What is a good 60 second spacebar SPS?
Around 5. Five and a half is good. Six and a half for a full minute is rare on a standard switch.
Why take a whole minute?
To measure stamina and to stress the switch. Short tests hide both. A dying spacebar often looks fine for five seconds and falls apart at 0:40.
Should I roll the key?
Only if that is the technique you actually use. Rolling inflates early SPS and usually falls apart before 60 seconds. Say so when you share the number.
