What is a good CPS?
Most people click about 6 to 7 times per second. 8–10 CPS is fast, and above 10 usually means a special technique like jitter or butterfly clicking. Your mouse and device also matter.
Clicking techniques
- Regular: one finger, relaxed wrist. About 6–8 CPS.
- Jitter: tensing the arm to vibrate the finger. 10–14 CPS.
- Butterfly: two fingers alternating. 15+ CPS.
Take breaks; very fast clicking for long periods can strain your hand.
