Mouse Click Counter & CPS Test
Count clicks, measure your CPS (clicks per second), set timed challenges, and rank your clicking speed. Works as a Kohi click test alternative.

📖 About the Click Counter
The APluscalc Mouse Click Counter lets you measure your clicking speed in clicks per second (CPS). Use it to benchmark your raw clicking speed, practice for gaming, or compare different clicking techniques like jitter clicking and butterfly clicking. CPS testing has become a core benchmark in competitive gaming communities, particularly Minecraft PvP, Osu!, and other reaction-based games.
Choose a timed mode (5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, or 60s) for a standardized CPS test, or use Free mode to count indefinitely without a timer. The pause button lets you freeze the count without resetting. Your best peak CPS in the session is always tracked separately from your average, so you can see both your burst speed and sustained rate.
📜 History of CPS Testing
Click speed testing originated in the Minecraft PvP community around 2012–2013 when the Kohi server popularized CPS as a measure of combat effectiveness — faster clicking meant more hits in sword fighting. The Kohi Click Test became the community standard, using a 10-second window to measure CPS. As competitive gaming grew, CPS testing spread to other games including Osu!, Hypixel, and various battle royale titles. Today, CPS testing is used not only in gaming but also in ergonomics research, occupational therapy for measuring fine motor control, and software development for testing click event handlers and UI responsiveness.
🧭 How to Use This Click Counter
- Choose your mode — Counter (unlimited) or CPS Test (timed)
- Select test duration — 5s, 10s, or 30s for CPS testing
- Click as fast as possible — click the large button area
- View your results — CPS, total clicks, best peak CPS
- Compare your score — use the ranking guide to see your level
🎯 Who Uses a Click Counter?
- Minecraft PvP players — testing and improving combat clicking speed
- Osu! and rhythm game players — warming up and benchmarking reaction
- Kohi Click Test seekers — standardized 10-second CPS benchmark
- Competitive gamers — measuring and improving mouse speed
- Software developers — testing click event handlers and UI
- Occupational therapists — measuring fine motor response
- Ergonomics researchers — tracking repetitive strain recovery
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Judging CPS from a single short burst — a 1-second test is far noisier than a 10-second average; use longer trials for a reliable score.
- Comparing across different input devices — trackpad, mouse, and touchscreen results are not directly comparable due to different response characteristics.
- Ignoring finger fatigue — CPS naturally drops over repeated trials; space out attempts for a fair comparison.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good CPS (clicks per second) score?
An average person clicks 4–8 CPS. Gamers typically achieve 8–12 CPS using regular clicking. Advanced techniques like butterfly clicking or jitter clicking can reach 12–16 CPS. The world record for clicks per second is approximately 16 CPS over a 10-second test.
What is the Kohi Click Test?
The Kohi Click Test is a popular CPS benchmark from the Kohi Minecraft server. Players tested their clicking speed on a dedicated web page to prepare for PvP combat. APluscalc's Click Counter works identically — choose the 10-second timer to replicate the Kohi test.
What is butterfly clicking?
Butterfly clicking is a technique where two fingers alternate rapidly on the same mouse button, effectively doubling your click rate. It can produce 12–18 CPS. Note: butterfly clicking is banned on some game servers as it is considered an unfair advantage.
Does the click counter work on mobile?
Yes — the click zone is fully touch-compatible on mobile phones and tablets. Tap rapidly to count taps instead of mouse clicks. CPS tracking works the same way on touchscreens.
Can I pause and resume my count?
Yes. Press the Pause button to freeze your count. The timer also pauses in timed mode. Press Resume to continue exactly where you left off. Use Reset to start a brand new session.
Why does my CPS drop over time?
CPS is calculated as total clicks divided by total elapsed time. As the session gets longer, it averages out early bursts, so the displayed CPS naturally smooths toward your true sustained rate. Your Best CPS stat captures your peak speed at any point in the session.
