How does the right-click test work?
Choose 1, 5, 10 or 60 seconds, then right-click the box as fast as you can. The menu that a right-click normally opens is held back over the box, so it never gets in the way. Only the right button counts: a left click shows a reminder instead. The clock starts on your first right-click, and each one is timed the moment the button goes down.
How is your Right-Click CPS calculated?
Your CPS is your right-clicks divided by the seconds you chose: 30 right-clicks in 5 seconds is 6.0 CPS. Your fastest second is the most right-clicks you fitted into any one-second stretch of the run, usually a little higher than the average because the hand slows as it tires.
Why test the right button on its own?
Because games use it for different things. In Minecraft the right button places blocks and uses items, so its speed decides how fast you can build, while the left button attacks. The right button is usually pressed with the middle finger rather than the index finger, so the two speeds can differ. To compare, take the CPS Test for the left button.
What can affect your Right-Click CPS?
- Touchpads. A right-click on a touchpad is usually a two-finger tap or a press in one corner, set in your computer's settings. Both count, but they are slower to repeat than a mouse button.
- Control-click on a Mac. It opens the menu like a right-click, but to the browser it is a left click with a key held, so it doesn't count here.
- Swapped buttons. If your computer is set for left-handed use, the buttons are swapped before the browser sees them, and this page counts whichever button your computer calls the right one.
