The 100-second CPS test is a long endurance benchmark. It rewards efficient mechanics, controlled pacing, and the ability to maintain accuracy long after the initial burst fades.
Treat it like a pace run. Start at a speed you know you can maintain, then gradually increase only if you still feel relaxed after the first minute.
Butterfly clicking is often the most practical for long runs because it distributes load. Standard clicking can work with good rhythm. Jitter clicking for 100 seconds is usually unsustainable for most users.
Use low-frequency testing: 1–2 full attempts per session. Build endurance with intermediate drills (30–60 seconds) and focus on posture, wrist neutrality, and reducing unnecessary motion.
Why is my score much lower than 10 seconds? Endurance dominates at 100 seconds.
How do I reduce fatigue? Relax grip, keep fingers close to the button, and take longer breaks.
What should I track? Your average CPS and how much you drop between the first and last 20 seconds.
