100 Second Click Test

How to take the 100 second click test

1. Get comfortable: forearm supported, mouse in a loose grip, page in front of every other window.
2. Click the box to start the 100 second timer.
3. Settle into a steady rhythm. Swap fingers whenever one tires; every press inside the box counts.
4. At zero, read your total clicks, average CPS and consistency. The graph has one bar for each of the hundred seconds.

What the results mean

Because the test is exactly 100 seconds, your clicks divided by 100 is your CPS: 450 clicks is 4.5 CPS. Very few people hold their 5 second speed for this long.

Over 100 seconds a consistency score above 70% is very steady. Dips in the graph are the moments you rested or changed fingers.

Strategy for 100 seconds

Treat it like a long run, not a sprint. Start at about three quarters of your 5 second speed and keep it there. Alternate the index and middle finger every ten or fifteen seconds to share the load. Keep breathing and keep the shoulder down. People who sprint the first ten seconds usually finish with fewer clicks than people who start slower.

A 100 second run is also a good stress test for a mouse. Hundreds of presses in a row can expose a switch that starts to double click when warm; if late seconds in the graph are much taller than the rest, run the double click test. To test an auto clicker instead of your hand, use the auto clicker test, which also measures the gap between clicks.

Common problems and fixes

The timer stopped or skipped

Browsers slow down pages in background tabs. Keep this tab in front and do not switch apps until the test ends.

My hand hurts

Stop. One hundred seconds of fast clicking is long. Rest, stretch and use two fingers in turn next time. Do not jitter click for this length.

The count seems too high

A switch that double registers can add hundreds of clicks over a long run. Check the mouse with the double click test.
