How to use it: press START TEST, then click inside the box as fast as you can keep up for 100 seconds. Your clicks per second, total clicks and animal rank appear when the timer reaches 100.

The 100 second click test counts how many times you can click a mouse button in 100 seconds and divides the total by 100 to give your clicks per second (CPS). For example, 700 clicks is 7.00 CPS and earns the Buffalo rank. It is the longest timed click test on Click Tester, so it measures stamina far more than top speed.

This click speed test 100 seconds long runs in your browser, with nothing to install and no account. Every click is counted on your own device, so a slow connection cannot cost you clicks once the page has loaded. You may also see it called the 100 second CPS test, the 100 seconds click test or the CPS test 100 seconds version; it is the same test, and your last five 100 second results are saved in this browser only.

How to take the 100 second click test

1. Move the pointer over the large box under the three counters and rest a finger on the left mouse button.
2. Press START TEST. The 100 second timer starts at that moment and the button disappears. The press on the button itself does not count.
3. Click inside the box at a pace you can keep up. Each click adds one to Score.
4. Watch the counters as you go: CPS is your average speed so far, Score is your total clicks and Timer counts up to 100.000 seconds.
5. When the timer reaches 100, a result window shows your rank, your clicks per second and how many clicks you made. Press TRY AGAIN to close it and play another round.

The clock starts on the button, not on your first click, so have your finger ready before you press START. Clicks outside the box are lost. Over 100 seconds a mouse almost always creeps across the desk, so glance at the pointer every 20 seconds or so and nudge it back to the middle of the box.

How the 100 second CPS score is worked out

The formula is CPS = total clicks ÷ 100. That makes this the easiest test on the site to read: your CPS is your click count with the decimal point moved two places. 650 clicks is 6.50 CPS, 823 clicks is 8.23 CPS.

The final result always uses the full 100 seconds, even if you stop early. If you give up at 80 seconds, the last 20 seconds count as zero clicks and pull your average down. A round with no clicks at all ends without a result window.

Each click is worth exactly 0.01 CPS, so you need 100 extra clicks to raise your score by one whole CPS. The CPS counter under the box shows two decimals, while the result window rounds to one decimal, so 7.42 shows as 7.4. Your rank is decided by the two decimal figure.

During the round the CPS counter divides your clicks by the time that has passed so far, which makes it a live pace meter. A click only counts when the button goes down and comes back up with the pointer inside the box, which is how browsers define a click event. Holding the button down scores nothing until you let go, and clicks after the timer stops are ignored.

Ranks: how many clicks you need in 100 seconds

Your CPS gives you one of nine animal ranks. The thresholds are the same on every timed click test on Click Tester, and because the divisor is 100 the click counts are exact.

Rank	CPS range	Clicks in 100 seconds
Sloth	up to 3.50	1 to 350
Turtle	3.51 to 5.50	351 to 550
Panda	5.51 to 6.60	551 to 660
Mouse	6.61 to 6.90	661 to 690
Buffalo	6.91 to 7.50	691 to 750
Rabbit	7.51 to 8.00	751 to 800
Wolf	8.01 to 8.50	801 to 850
Tiger	8.51 to 9.00	851 to 900
Cheetah	over 9.00	901 or more

Three targets are worth remembering: 661 clicks is the first score above Panda, 801 is the first Wolf score and 901 is the first Cheetah score. Exactly 900 clicks is 9.00 CPS, which still counts as Tiger, so the top rank needs one click more.

How many clicks in 100 seconds is good?

There is no reliable average to compare yourself with. We could not find a study or record keeper that publishes an average or a verified record for a 100 second clicking test, so this page does not quote one. Use your first round as your baseline and the rank table as the next goal.

Some checked reference points help put a score in context:

• One finger, normal clicking. A 2017 simulation study by Shourijeh, Razavian and McPhee estimated the maximum tapping frequency of an index finger at about 6 Hz, or six taps per second. Held for 100 seconds that would be about 600 taps, which lands in the Panda range. A mouse button needs only a tiny movement, so many people click faster than that, at least at the start.
• Holding 8 CPS. 800 clicks in 100 seconds is exactly 8.00 CPS, the top of the Rabbit rank. That means 160 clicks in every 20 seconds, five times in a row, with no pause.
• The one minute record. The Guinness World Records title for the most mouse clicks in one minute is 760, set in February 2026 under an adjudicator. That is about 12.7 CPS. Nobody has shown that pace can be held for 100 seconds, so treat it as a ceiling for short efforts, not a target here.

Our page on CPS world records explains how the known records were checked. For typical scores across test lengths and techniques, read the guide on what counts as a good CPS.

Why your CPS drops over 100 seconds

Your clicking rate falls the longer you go, mostly because of fatigue in the nervous system rather than tired muscles. Lab studies of maximal finger tapping, which is close to fast clicking, show the drop starts within the first half minute and keeps going for well over a minute.

Two studies from the same research group in Spain show the pattern:

Year	Task	What happened to tapping rate
2018	30 seconds of tapping as fast as possible, 11 men	Fell by about 18 percent within the 30 seconds
2020	3 minutes of tapping as fast as possible, 10 people	Fell quickly in the first minute, settled near 60 percent of the starting rate in the third minute, about 40 percent lower overall

The 2018 study found that finger strength did not drop, which points to the brain and spinal cord rather than the muscle as the cause. These were small lab groups tapping a sensor, not clicking a mouse, so the exact percentages will not match your result. The shape will: a fast start, a steady slide through the first minute, then a slower decline.

That is why a 100 second score is lower than a 10 or 30 second score for almost everyone, and why pacing matters more on this test than on any other length.

Pacing plan for a better 100 second score

Split the round into five blocks of 20 seconds and give each block a click target. The CPS counter shows your average so far, so you can see while clicking whether you are ahead of or behind the plan.

Target rank	Total clicks	Clicks per 20 seconds
Panda	551	111
Mouse	661	133
Buffalo	691	139
Rabbit	751	151
Wolf	801	161
Cheetah	901	181

Clicks per block are rounded up, so hitting the block target five times always reaches the rank. Because tapping speed falls fastest in the first minute, start only a little above your target pace, not at your sprint speed. If the CPS counter is still on target at 60 seconds, you have the reserves to push in the last 20.

Find out where your speed drops

The live Score counter lets you see your own fatigue curve without any extra tools.

1. Play one normal round and note your final total.
2. In the next round, read Score as Timer passes 20, 40, 60 and 80.
3. Subtract each reading from the next to get the clicks in each 20 second block, and use the final total for the last block.

An even split, such as 150, 148, 147, 145 and 150, means your pacing is right. A split like 180, 150, 130, 120 and 115 shows the classic fade from starting too fast. The usual fix is a calmer first block and a looser grip, not more effort. Reading the counter costs a few clicks, so use this round to learn rather than to set a best.

How 100 seconds compares with the other test lengths

The same speed produces very different totals on each test, so compare a score only with scores from the same length. This table shows what a steady 8 CPS looks like on every timed click test on Click Tester:

Test	Length	Clicks at a steady 8 CPS
1 second CPS test	1 s	8
2 second CPS test	2 s	16
5 second click test	5 s	40
10 second click test	10 s	80
15 second click test	15 s	120
30 second click test	30 s	240
Clicks per minute test	60 s	480
This 100 second test	100 s	800

A useful measure of stamina is how much of your burst speed you keep. Take the 10 second test, then this one, and divide the second score by the first. If you click 8.0 CPS for 10 seconds and 6.4 CPS for 100 seconds, you keep 80 percent. Track that figure over a few weeks; it tells you more about endurance than either score alone.

How to click faster for 100 seconds

Over this length, comfort and a steady rhythm beat raw speed. Change one thing at a time and run the test again to see whether it helped.

1. Rest your forearm on the desk. Let the desk carry the weight of your arm so only your finger works.
2. Grip the mouse so it cannot slide. Thumb on one side, ring finger on the other. A sliding mouse will drag the pointer out of the box long before 100 seconds are up.
3. Press lightly and let the button come all the way up. A click needs a press and a release. Short, light presses use less effort than hard ones.
4. Start below your top speed. Use the pacing table, not a sprint. The first 20 seconds feel easy at target pace; that is the point.
5. Keep breathing and drop your shoulder. Tension in the shoulder and neck spreads to the forearm and slows the second half.
6. Rest between rounds. One or two full rounds is plenty. A tired hand gives a lower score, and a few minutes of rest helps more than another attempt.

Faster techniques behave differently over 100 seconds. Jitter clicking relies on a tensed arm and is very hard to hold this long. Butterfly clicking shares the work between two fingers, which can help with stamina once it is practised. Each technique has its own test:

Technique	How the clicks happen	Where to practise
Normal clicking	One finger presses each time	This page
Jitter clicking	A tensed arm makes one finger vibrate	Jitter click test
Butterfly clicking	Two fingers tap one button in turn	Butterfly click test
Drag clicking	Friction makes the button bounce	Drag click test

The guide to jitter vs butterfly vs drag clicking compares the three in detail, and how to click faster for PvP covers clicking in game fights. Long bursts of fast clicking can strain the hand and wrist, so stop if you feel pain, tingling or numbness.

Using a trackpad, keyboard or phone

The test is built for a mouse, but other inputs work. Your score will not match your mouse score, so only compare results from the same device.

• Trackpad: a physical press counts, and so does a tap if tap to click is turned on. Trackpad scores are usually lower and tire different muscles.
• Keyboard: after you press START, the click box takes focus and each separate press of Enter or Space counts as one click. Holding a key down counts only once. For a timed test made for the keyboard, try the 100 second spacebar test.
• Phone or tablet: each tap counts. Tapping with two fingers can score well, but it is a different skill from clicking a mouse.

Is your score being counted correctly?

If a score jumps or drops for no clear reason, check the mouse before you blame your hand. A worn switch can turn one press into two clicks, which raises your score, or miss presses, which lowers it. Over 100 seconds even a small fault adds up to dozens of clicks. The double click test shows whether single presses register twice, and the mouse test checks that every button responds.

This test keeps its own history slot in your browser, so your 100 second scores do not mix with results from other test lengths. Clearing site data, using a private window or switching browser starts a fresh history.

Frequently asked questions

How many clicks in 100 seconds is good?

On this test, 661 clicks moves you above Panda, 801 clicks reaches Wolf and 901 clicks or more earns Cheetah, the top rank. No trustworthy average for 100 seconds is published, so your own first score is the best baseline.

How is the 100 second CPS test scored?

Your total clicks are divided by 100, so 742 clicks is 7.42 CPS, the Buffalo rank. The result window rounds to one decimal, while the rank uses the two decimal figure on the CPS counter.

Why is my 100 second score lower than my 10 second score?

Fast repeated finger movements slow down within seconds, and lab studies of maximal tapping found rates about 18 percent lower after 30 seconds and around 40 percent lower over three minutes. A 10 second test mostly measures burst speed, while 100 seconds measures how much of it you can hold.

Is 800 clicks in 100 seconds good?

800 clicks is exactly 8.00 CPS, the top of the Rabbit rank. One more click, 801, moves you up to Wolf. Holding 8 CPS for 100 seconds takes steady pacing, not just a fast finger.

Does the timer start on my first click?

No. The 100 second timer starts when you press START TEST, and that press is not counted. Keep your finger ready over the box so the first second is not wasted.

Can I use a keyboard for the CPS test 100 seconds long?

Yes. Press START TEST, then press Enter or Space once for each click. Holding a key down counts only once, so you cannot score by holding a key.

Is it safe to click fast for 100 seconds?

For most people one or two rounds is fine, but long spells of fast clicking strain the small muscles and tendons in the hand and forearm. Rest between rounds and stop if you feel pain, tingling or numbness.

Are my 100 second results saved?

Your last five 100 second results are stored in this browser with local storage, and nothing is sent to an account. Other people and other devices cannot see them.

What your CPS score means

When the timer runs out, the test divides your total clicks by the length of the test to give your clicks per second (CPS), then awards one of nine animal ranks:

Rank	CPS
Sloth	0 – 3.5
Turtle	3.6 – 5.5
Panda	5.6 – 6.6
Mouse	6.7 – 6.9
Buffalo	7.0 – 7.5
Rabbit	7.6 – 8.0
Wolf	8.1 – 8.5
Tiger	8.6 – 9.0
Cheetah	9.1+

The timer starts when you press Start, and only clicks inside the click area count. You can also take the test with a keyboard: press Enter or Space on the click area. Your last five results are saved in your own browser, not on our servers.
