What is jitter clicking?

Jitter clicking is fast clicking made by tensing the forearm and hand until the finger shakes on the mouse button, so that every shake is a click. It is used in games that reward clicking speed, Minecraft PvP above all. It is tiring and can strain the wrist, so keep runs short and stop if anything hurts.

How does the jitter click test work?

Choose 1, 5 or 10 seconds, then click the box with the left button as fast as you can. The clock starts on your first click and every click is timed the moment the button goes down. Only the left button counts, or a tap on a touchscreen.

How is your Jitter Click CPS calculated?

Your CPS is your clicks divided by the seconds of the test. Next to it are three readings about how you clicked:

  • Fastest second: the most clicks in any one-second stretch of the run.
  • Typical gap: the middle of the gaps between your clicks. Half were shorter, half longer.
  • Evenness: how far the middle half of your gaps spread around it. ± 8 ms means the middle half of your gaps fell within a 16 ms band. A good jitter is a steady shake, so a small number is better.

The spread ignores the slowest and fastest quarter of your gaps, so a single slip at the start or a pause to reset your grip doesn't swamp it.

Why is the 1-second test the highest?

Partly because a jitter tires fast, and partly arithmetic. The clock starts on your first click, so 12 clicks in one second need only 11 gaps between them: a 1-second CPS reads about one click higher than your real pace. Over longer runs that extra click hardly shows. Compare runs of the same length.

How do you jitter click?

  1. Rest your finger on the button with the wrist off the desk or lightly on it.
  2. Tense the forearm until the hand starts to vibrate, keeping the finger in contact with the button.
  3. Let the vibration press the button; don't try to click each time on purpose.
  4. Stop after a few seconds and shake the hand loose before the next run.

For the two-finger technique, try the Butterfly Click Test; for steady clicking over a timer you choose, the Kohi Click Test.

What can affect your Jitter Click CPS?

  • The mouse. A mouse ignores its button for a few milliseconds after each click so that one press can't count twice. Clicks closer together than that are merged into one.
  • Touchscreens. Taps count, but jitter clicking is a mouse technique; a phone result is a different movement.

Questions

Is jitter clicking bad for your hand?
It puts a lot of tension through the forearm and wrist. Keep runs to a few seconds, rest between them, and stop if your wrist or arm hurts.
What is the difference between jitter and butterfly clicking?
Jitter clicking uses one tensed finger that vibrates on the button. Butterfly clicking uses two fingers tapping the same button in turn, so each finger only has to click at half the rate.
What is a good jitter click CPS?
There is no published average for jitter clicking, so the page doesn't give one. Compare your own runs of the same length, and watch the evenness figure as well as the speed.
Is jitter clicking allowed on Minecraft servers?
Each server sets its own rules about clicking, so check theirs. Jitter clicking is done by hand, with no software, which is not the same as an autoclicker or a macro.
Is anything saved?
No. Your clicks are counted in your browser, and no score history is kept.
