How to use the right click CPS test
- Pick a test length from 1 to 100 seconds. The default is 5.
- Right-click inside the box. Your first right click starts the timer and counts.
- Keep right-clicking until the bar along the bottom fills up.
- Read your result in right clicks per second. A new best is saved for that test length.
How the test works
The test listens for the right mouse button going down inside the box. It counts the press, not the release, and ignores every other button. The browser's right-click menu is turned off inside the box only, so it can't pop up and steal your clicks.
Your score is right clicks divided by seconds. The timer uses performance.now(), and right clicks that land after the time is up aren't counted. Best scores are kept in your browser on this device, separate from the left-click CPS Test.
Why test your right-click speed?
Many games put a key action on the right button. In Minecraft, for example, right click places blocks and uses items by default, so a faster right click helps when you build quickly. Testing the right button on its own also shows whether it keeps up with your left.
If a press sometimes counts twice or not at all, the switch may be wearing out. The Mouse Test checks every button for missed and double clicks.
How to right-click on each device
| Device | How to right-click | Counts here? |
|---|---|---|

| Apple Magic Mouse | Click the right side, after turning on Secondary click in System Settings → Mouse | Yes |
| Mac trackpad | Click with two fingers (Secondary click in System Settings → Trackpad) | Yes |
| Windows laptop touchpad | Press the lower right corner, or tap with two fingers if that's turned on | Yes |
| Mac, Ctrl-click | Hold Ctrl and click | Not in every browser |
| Phone or tablet | Long press | No |
Right-click CPS to clicks
Multiply your CPS by the test length to get your click count: 8 CPS over 10 seconds is 80 right clicks, and 6 CPS over 60 seconds is 360. For left clicks and a full table, see the CPS Test. For keyboard speed, try the Spacebar Clicker.
