The 10-second CPS test is a strong “real gameplay” indicator for many players. It rewards quick acceleration, steady rhythm, and the ability to keep clicking cleanly as fatigue starts to appear.
Your CPS is total registered clicks divided by 10 seconds. A short early spike is helpful, but the mid-test pace usually determines your final score.
Find a tempo you can hold for the full duration. For many users that means butterfly clicking with minimal finger lift. If you jitter click, treat it as a controlled vibration - avoid locking your wrist or clenching.
Try 5 attempts with 60–90 seconds rest. After each run, note where you slowed down (start, middle, or end). Adjust grip pressure and finger travel, then re-test.
What’s a “good” 10-second CPS? It varies widely by technique and mouse.
Why do clicks stop registering? Some mice debounce or fail to register extremely rapid taps.
Can I train consistency? Yes - practice at 80–90% effort and build stability first.
