CPS World Records: The Verified Fastest Clicking Records

The only CPS world record confirmed by Guinness World Records is for the most mouse clicks in one minute: 760 clicks by Yiğit Arslan (Yigox) in Istanbul on 10 February 2026. That works out to about 12.7 clicks per second held for a full 60 seconds. Shorter records for 10 and 30 seconds exist only on community sites, and most numbers you see quoted elsewhere have no source at all.

This page lists the clicking records we could check on the record keeper’s own website, says how much weight each one deserves, and explains why so many “world record CPS” claims fall apart when you look for the evidence.

What is the CPS world record?

There is no single CPS world record, because CPS (clicks per second) depends on how long the test lasts. A 1 second burst always scores higher than a minute of steady clicking. What exists instead is a small set of records for fixed time limits, and only one of them comes from Guinness World Records.

Record	Result	Holder and record keeper
Most mouse clicks in one minute	760 clicks (12.67 CPS)	Yiğit Arslan (Yigox) and Logitech G, Türkiye. Guinness World Records, adjudicated
Most mouse clicks in 30 seconds	830 clicks (27.67 CPS)	Tom Andre Seppola, Norway. RecordSetter, video check only
Most mouse clicks in 10 seconds	402 clicks with three buttons (40.2 CPS)	Tom Andre Seppola, Norway. RecordSetter, video check only
1 second and 5 second CPS	None verified	No record keeper lists one

The CPS figures are simple division (clicks divided by seconds), so you can compare the records with your own score on any timed test.

Guinness World Records: most mouse clicks in one minute

Guinness World Records lists a record titled Most mouse clicks in one minute. Its record page gives the result as 760, set by Yiğit Arslan aka Yigox together with Logitech G, both from Türkiye, in Istanbul on 10 February 2026, using a PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE mouse.

A Guinness case study describes the attempt in more detail. It was a brand new record category, the minimum needed to set it was 750 clicks, and the result was announced by an official adjudicator. The attempt was organised with Logitech G, which is listed as a joint holder. That does not make the result less real, but it explains why a specific mouse is named in the record.

So what does 760 clicks mean in practice? It is about 12.7 clicks per second without a pause for 60 seconds. On our clicks per minute test, which runs for the same 60 seconds, that score sits well inside the top rank, Cheetah, which starts above 9.0 CPS. Most people who try a full minute fade badly in the second half, so the hard part of this record is endurance, not the opening burst.

The record pages do not publish detailed rules, for example which clicking technique was allowed. We do not repeat rule claims from social media or fan sites, because we could not confirm them on the Guinness website.

The 811 click claim from June 2026

You may see a higher number: 811 clicks in 60 seconds. It comes from a Hunter College High School news story about a student, Sean K., who made the attempt on 13 June 2026 following Guinness guidelines with a witness. The school itself says the result unofficially beats 760 and is waiting for verification by Guinness, which it notes can take two to three months.

When we checked the Guinness record page on 15 October 2026 it still listed 760 clicks. Guinness also says that records change daily and are not always published online straight away, so the 811 attempt may yet be confirmed. Until it appears on the Guinness website, the official answer to “what is the world record for cps” over a minute stays at 760 clicks.

RecordSetter records for 10 and 30 seconds

RecordSetter is a community site where anyone can upload a video of a record attempt. Its rules for these two records ask for video evidence showing a finger clicking the mouse and the final result on screen, and they do not allow auto clickers. That is a real check, but it is much lighter than having an adjudicator in the room.

RecordSetter title	Holder	Result and date
Most mouse clicks in 30 seconds	Tom Andre Seppola	830 clicks, 13 October 2010
Most mouse clicks in 10 seconds	Tom Andre Seppola	402 clicks using three mouse buttons, 12 November 2010

The 10 second record needs care. Seppola clicked three mouse buttons, so 402 clicks is a total across several fingers on several buttons. It is not comparable with a normal one button CPS test, where every click goes to the same button. Divided by three, it is a little over 13 clicks per second on each button, which is close to the pace of the Guinness one minute record.

World record CPS in 1 second, 5 seconds and 10 seconds

No record keeper we could find lists a 1 second or 5 second CPS record. Searches for “world record cps in 1 second” or “cps world record 5 seconds” lead to CPS test sites that quote a name and a number with no link, video or date. We could not trace any of those figures to Guinness World Records or RecordSetter, so we do not list them.

There is also a measuring problem with very short tests. In a 1 second test each extra click adds a full 1.0 to your CPS, and a few milliseconds of reaction time at the start can cost you a click. In a 5 second test each click is worth 0.2 CPS. That is why scores on our 1 second CPS test jump around so much, and why a 1 second “record” says more about luck and timing than about skill.

For 10 seconds, the only record we found on a record keeper’s site is the three button RecordSetter result above. If you want to compare yourself with a normal 10 second pace, use the 10 second click test and look at your clicks per second rather than chasing a quoted record.

Popular record claims that do not hold up

Several numbers are repeated across dozens of sites. These are the ones we checked.

1,051 clicks in 10 seconds. This is often quoted as the world record, sometimes as 105 CPS. On RecordSetter the attempt is marked as denied because it does not follow the rule that auto clickers are not permitted.
Named “world record” CPS figures on test sites. Many CPS test pages state a record holder and a CPS figure for 1, 5 or 10 seconds. None of the ones we looked at gave a source, and we could not find them on a record keeper’s website.
Figures of thousands of clicks per second. Some blogs mention numbers in the thousands. No human finger can do that, and no record body lists anything like it.
“Kohi world record”. Kohi was a PvP server for a popular block building game that gave its name to the Kohi click test. It is a test format, not a record holder, and there is no official Kohi record table.

If a claim gives no record keeper, no date and no video, treat it as a rumour. Real records have all three.

What is the fastest clicking method?

For raw clicks per second, the fastest clicking method is usually drag clicking, then butterfly clicking, then jitter clicking, then normal clicking. The catch is that the faster methods depend on the mouse and are banned on many game servers and in some record rules.

Method	How it works	What limits it
Normal clicking	One finger presses the button for each click	Finger speed and stamina
Jitter clicking	You tense the forearm so the finger vibrates on the button	Fatigue and hand strain
Butterfly clicking	Two fingers take turns on the same button	The mouse may merge very fast presses
Drag clicking	A finger slides across the button so friction makes it bounce	Surface grip and switch design, often banned

Butterfly and drag clicking can produce more clicks than the fingers actually make, because the mouse switch registers several contacts. That is why these methods split opinion, and why a CPS number means little unless you know how it was made. Our guide to jitter vs butterfly vs drag clicking compares them in detail, and the drag clicking guide explains how drag clicking works.

Is there a jitter click record?

We found no official jitter click record. People search for “jitter click world record” and “highest cps jitter click”, but no record keeper lists a jitter only title, and the CPS sites that quote one give no source. You can measure your own jitter speed on the jitter click test, which runs for 10 seconds and shows your clicks per second.

What about auto clickers?

An auto clicker is software or a device that clicks for you, and it can easily beat any human. That is exactly why record rules ban them and why the 1,051 click attempt was denied. A screen recording alone cannot prove that a click came from a finger, which is the main reason record keepers want to see the hand on video.

Who is the fastest clicker in the world?

On the verified evidence, the fastest clicker over one minute is Yiğit Arslan (Yigox) with 760 clicks, the current Guinness World Records holder. For 30 seconds, the fastest recorded clicker on RecordSetter is Tom Andre Seppola with 830 clicks. Nobody holds a verified title for 1 or 5 seconds.

The honest answer to “who is the fastest clicker ever” is that we only know about people who made a recorded attempt. Plenty of players may be faster in a short burst and simply never filmed it under record conditions.

Is there a spacebar world record?

We could not find a Guinness World Records title for pressing the spacebar or any single keyboard key as fast as possible. Pages that quote a “spacebar world record” give no record keeper or video, so we do not repeat their numbers.

If you want to measure your own key speed, the spacebar clicker and the spacebar counter count every press, and the timed spacebar tests (for example the 5 second spacebar test) give you a score per second.

Why CPS records are hard to compare

Two CPS figures only mean the same thing when they were measured the same way. These are the differences that matter most:

Test length. CPS drops as the test gets longer. A 10 second pace cannot be held for a minute, which is one reason the 30 second record (27.67 CPS) and the one minute record (12.67 CPS) look so different. The RecordSetter page for the 30 second record does not say how many buttons were used.
Technique. Normal, jitter, butterfly and drag clicking produce very different numbers on the same person.
Number of buttons. Some attempts count clicks on several buttons, like the three button 10 second record.
Hardware. Every mouse switch needs a short moment to settle after a press (debounce), and different mice handle very fast presses differently. A setting that is fine for normal use can swallow clicks at record speed.
Proof. An adjudicator in the room, a video showing the hand, and a screenshot of a score are three very different levels of evidence.

The polling rate of your mouse is rarely the limit. Even 125 Hz polling reports the mouse state every 8 ms, far quicker than anyone clicks. Our polling rate test shows what your mouse reports if you want to check.

How do you compare with the records?

The quickest way to see how far you are from a record is to convert it to the test length you use. This table shows how many clicks you would need on our tests to match the Guinness pace of 12.67 CPS.

Test on Click Tester	Clicks needed to match 12.67 CPS	Your rank at that speed
1 second CPS test	13	Cheetah
5 second test	64	Cheetah
10 second click test	127	Cheetah
30 second click test	381	Cheetah
Clicks per minute	761 to beat the record	Cheetah

How to make your own record attempt

If you want a result that other people will believe, plan it like a record keeper would check it.

Pick a fixed time limit. One minute is the only length with an official Guinness title, so it is the obvious target.
Choose your technique and stick to it. Write down whether you used normal, jitter or butterfly clicking. A score without the method is hard to compare.
Film your hand and the screen together in one continuous take, with the start and the final result visible. This is what RecordSetter asks for.
Use no software help. No macros, no auto clickers and no mouse settings that repeat clicks.
Apply to the record keeper. For a Guinness title you apply through Guinness World Records and follow their guidelines; the Hunter College attempt shows that verification can take months.

Warm up first, and stop if your hand or forearm hurts. Fast clicking for long periods puts the same strain on the hand as other repetitive work, and the NHS lists aching pain, stiffness and tingling among the symptoms of repetitive strain injury. A record is not worth a sore wrist.

Frequently asked questions

What is the world record for CPS?

The best documented record is the Guinness World Records title for most mouse clicks in one minute: 760 clicks by Yiğit Arslan (Yigox), set on 10 February 2026. That equals about 12.67 clicks per second held for 60 seconds.

What is the world record CPS in 1 second?

There is no verified 1 second CPS record. No record keeper we checked lists one, and the figures quoted on CPS test sites come without a source or video. In a 1 second test a single extra click changes your score by a full 1.0 CPS, so short burst results are also very noisy.

Who has the fastest CPS in the world?

On verified records, Yiğit Arslan (Yigox) holds the Guinness title for one minute with 760 clicks. Tom Andre Seppola holds the RecordSetter titles for 30 seconds (830 clicks) and 10 seconds (402 clicks with three buttons).

Is 1,051 clicks in 10 seconds a real record?

No. That attempt appears on RecordSetter but is marked as denied, because it did not follow the rule that auto clickers are not permitted. It would mean 105 clicks per second, which no person can do with a finger.

Did someone beat the 760 click record?

A school news story reports 811 clicks in 60 seconds by a student, Sean K., on 13 June 2026, and says the result is waiting for Guinness verification. When we checked on 15 October 2026, the Guinness record page still showed 760 clicks.

Is there a Guinness record for the spacebar?

We could not find a Guinness World Records title for spacebar or keyboard pressing speed. You can still measure your own speed with a spacebar counter.

Can I set a record on Click Tester?

Click Tester does not keep a public leaderboard or verify scores. Your recent results are saved only in your own browser, so they are useful for tracking your progress, not as proof of a record.
