Right Click Test: Measure Your Right Click CPS
How to use it: right click the START TEST button to begin (a left click does nothing). Keep right clicking inside the box for 10 seconds. Your clicks per second, total clicks and rank appear when the timer reaches 10.
This right click CPS test counts how many times you press the right mouse button in 10 seconds, then divides by 10 to give your right click speed in clicks per second (CPS). Only right clicks count. Left clicks, the scroll wheel and the side buttons are ignored, and the right click menu is switched off so it never covers the box.
This mouse right click speed test runs in your browser with nothing to install. It works with any wired or wireless mouse, and with a laptop trackpad or a Mac as long as a secondary click is set up (more on that below).
How to take the right click speed test
- Point at START TEST and right click it. That first right click starts the 10 second timer and is already counted as click number one. A left click on the button does nothing.
- Keep right clicking anywhere inside the box. Score shows your running total, CPS shows your average so far, and Timer counts up to 10.000 seconds.
- When the timer reaches 10, the result window opens with your rank, your clicks per second and a line such as “You made 74 Clicks in 10 Second”.
- Close the window with X or TRY AGAIN, then right click START TEST again for another round.
The CPS figure during the run is your clicks divided by the time so far, so it jumps around in the first second and settles as the test goes on. Only the final number, taken at exactly 10 seconds, decides your rank.
How the right click CPS score is calculated
Your final right click CPS is simply total right clicks divided by 10, shown with two decimals. 74 clicks gives 7.40 CPS, 52 clicks gives 5.20 CPS. The rank comes from that number, using the same nine animal ranks as the other click speed tests on Click Tester:
| Rank | Right click CPS | Right clicks in 10 seconds | Stars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sloth | up to 3.5 | 1 to 35 | 1 |
| Turtle | above 3.5 to 5.5 | 36 to 55 | 1 |
| Panda | above 5.5 to 6.6 | 56 to 66 | 1 |
| Mouse | above 6.6 to 6.9 | 67 to 69 | 2 |
| Buffalo | above 6.9 to 7.5 | 70 to 75 | 2 |
| Rabbit | above 7.5 to 8.0 | 76 to 80 | 3 |
| Wolf | above 8.0 to 8.5 | 81 to 85 | 3 |
| Tiger | above 8.5 to 9.0 | 86 to 90 | 4 |
| Cheetah | above 9.0 | 91 or more | 5 |
Because the test length never changes, every single click is worth exactly 0.1 CPS. That makes the thresholds easy to chase: if you scored 79 clicks (Rabbit), two more clicks next time puts you in Wolf.
What counts as a right click here
The test listens for the event your browser fires when you ask for a right click menu, and counts it only while the timer is running and the pointer is inside the box. In practice that means:
| What you press | Counted? |
|---|---|
| Right mouse button | Yes, once per press |
| Trackpad secondary click (two-finger click or tap, or a corner click, if you set one) | Yes |
| Control-click on a Mac | Yes, a Mac treats it as a right click |
| Left mouse button | No |
| Scroll wheel press and side buttons | No |
| Right clicks outside the box, or after the timer stops | No |
On phones and tablets the test is not a fair measure. There is no right button, and a long press is the closest thing, which is far too slow to compare with a mouse.
One detail that surprises people: the moment a right click is registered depends on the system. Mozilla documents that the context menu event follows the button release on Windows but the button press on macOS and Linux. Over a 10 second test this makes no real difference to your score, but it explains why the counter on a Mac ticks the instant you press, while on Windows it ticks as you let go.
Why your right click speed is usually lower
If your right click score is lower than your left click score, the usual reason is your finger, not your mouse. With a normal right-handed grip, the right button sits under the middle finger, while all the quick everyday clicking is done with the index finger. On most mice both buttons use the same kind of switch, so the gap comes down to practice and finger control.
It also explains why a right clicking speed test feels harder than the usual left click version, and why the best comparison is your own. Take the 10 second left click speed test, which uses the same length and the same rank thresholds, then come back and run this one. The difference between the two numbers tells you how much room your right hand has to improve. For a wider picture of what different scores mean, see what counts as a good clicking speed.
Where right click speed matters
For most computer work, right click speed hardly matters: you open a menu, read it and choose an option, so accuracy counts more than speed. It matters in games where the right button does something you repeat quickly:
- Minecraft. In the Java Edition, the right mouse button is the default control for using items and placing blocks, while the left button attacks and breaks blocks (you can see this in the game’s Controls settings). Fast, steady right clicking helps when placing blocks quickly, for example while bridging. Our guide to clicking faster for PvP covers the left click side.
- Strategy games and MOBAs. Many of these games move units or your character to the spot you right click, so players issue a lot of right clicks per minute. If that is your use, the APM test measures your overall actions per minute.
- Testing a new mouse. A right click CPS tester is a quick way to check that the right button on a new mouse feels as quick and consistent as the left.
Test your right mouse button for faults
This page also works as a quick right click tester when the button misbehaves. To test right click on its own, run a slow round first: right click START TEST, then press the right button once a second and watch Score. Every press should add exactly one.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Score goes up by 2 from one press | Worn switch that bounces (registers one press twice) | Check it on the double click test, which flags presses that land too close together |
| Score does not move at all | Button not sending a signal, or remapped in mouse software | Try another USB port or another mouse, and check the mouse maker’s app for button settings |
| Slow presses count, fast ones drop | Clicks not pressed fully, or a tired switch | Retest slowly; if slow presses are perfect, it is technique |
| Score counts here but menus do not open on your computer | Software or settings, not the button | Check button settings in your operating system and mouse software |
If you have swapped the primary and secondary buttons in your system settings, which many left-handed people do, the browser follows the swap. In that case the physical left button is the one this test counts.
To check every button on the mouse at once, including the left button and the scroll wheel press, use the mouse button tester. If clicks register but the pointer movement feels uneven, the polling rate test shows how often the mouse reports its position.
Comparing left and right click CPS
This right clicking CPS test measures the right button only, so you cannot mix left and right clicks in one run here. To compare both hands of the mouse, run this test and the 10 second left click test back to back and write down both scores. If you want to see left and right presses counted side by side in one box, the mouse button tester does that, though it has no timer.
Pressing both buttons at the same time is not a speed technique. Each button is counted by its own test, so the right click test would only record the right half of each press.
How to right click faster
A few changes make a real difference to your right click CPS:
- Rest your middle finger on the button. Lifting the finger high between clicks wastes time. Keep it touching the button and press with short, small movements.
- Anchor your wrist. A stable wrist on the desk gives the finger a fixed base, so the speed comes from the finger rather than the arm.
- Try a different technique. Jitter clicking (tensing the forearm so the finger vibrates) works on the right button too; practise it on the jitter click test. Butterfly clicking uses two alternating fingers on one button, and you can try it on the butterfly click test. Check the rules of any game server first, as some ban techniques that produce double clicks.
- Build endurance. Ten seconds is a sprint. To see whether your right hand holds its pace for longer, compare your left click stamina on the 30 second click test and the clicks per minute test.
- Rest between rounds. Several tests in a row tire the small muscles in your hand, and scores drop. Short breaks give you a truer number.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good right click CPS?
On this test, 6.7 CPS (67 clicks in 10 seconds) reaches the Mouse rank and 8.1 CPS reaches Wolf. There is no published average for right click speed, so the most useful benchmark is your own left click score on the 10 second test, which uses the same ranks.
How do I start the right click test?
Right click the START TEST button. A left click does nothing, because the test only listens for right clicks. That starting right click counts as your first click, and the 10 second timer begins at once.
Will the right click menu pop up during the test?
No. The right click menu is switched off on this page, so you can click freely without a menu covering the box. One exception: in Firefox, holding Shift while you right click forces the menu to appear and that click is not counted, so keep Shift released.
Can I do a 1 second right click CPS test?
Not on this page. The right click test always runs for 10 seconds, which gives a steadier result than a one second burst. For a short sprint with the left button, use the 1 second CPS test.
Does the right click test work on a Mac or a laptop trackpad?
Yes. Apple calls a right click a secondary click or Control-click. Hold Control while you click, or turn on Secondary click in your Mac’s trackpad or mouse settings, and every secondary click inside the box is counted. Windows laptops count a right click from the touchpad’s right corner or a two-finger tap, depending on your touchpad settings.
Does a right click auto clicker work on this test?
The test counts every right click event the browser receives, so it cannot tell an auto clicker from your finger. That makes an auto clicker score meaningless as a measure of your speed. Many game servers also ban auto clickers, so use the test to measure your real hand speed.
Is the right click test accurate?
Yes, for what it measures. The count and the timer run locally in your browser, so your internet connection has no effect, and the final CPS is always your exact click total divided by 10. A worn or bouncing switch can still add or drop clicks, which is why a slow check is worth doing if your score looks odd.

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.
