Right Click CPS Test
How fast is your right click? Click inside the box with your right mouse button for 10 seconds to measure your right-click CPS score.
This is part of our full click speed test suite. See all duration options at our CPS Test hub.
What Is the Right Click CPS Test?
The right click CPS test measures how many times per second you can press your right mouse button. It works the same way as a standard click speed test, but it captures only right-button inputs. The test runs for ten seconds and gives you your right-click CPS score when the timer ends.
Most players focus their clicking practice exclusively on the left button, so their right-click speed is often untested. This test gives you a clear benchmark and a baseline to improve from.
Why Right-Click Speed Matters in Gaming
In many games, the right mouse button is just as important as the left. The specific scenarios where right-click speed has a direct impact on your performance include:
Minecraft: In survival and creative mode, right-clicking places blocks. A faster right-click CPS means faster construction and quicker responses when building under pressure. In some PvP scenarios, right-clicking to block with a sword in older Minecraft versions was a core defensive mechanic.
Real-time strategy games: In RTS games like StarCraft II and Age of Empires, right-clicking moves units and issues commands. Faster right-click speed contributes to higher APM, which is the primary measure of skill in those games. Check your APM score alongside your right-click CPS to get a full picture of your command input speed.
FPS games: Many first-person shooters assign right-click to aim down sights. In games like Apex Legends or Call of Duty, quickly toggling ADS can determine whether you win or lose a close-range exchange. A faster, more responsive right click reduces the delay between seeing an enemy and activating your scope.
MOBAs: In games like Dota 2, right-click attack commands require repeated right-click inputs to issue move-attack orders efficiently. This is called right-click orb walking, and practicing your right-click CPS directly improves your ability to execute it precisely.
What Is a Good Right-Click CPS Score?
Most people click their right button more slowly than their left. This is normal since the left button is the primary click used in the vast majority of gaming scenarios. A typical right-click CPS score breaks down like this:
Under 4 CPS is a relaxed pace with no technique applied. Between 4 and 6 CPS is average for most adults with no dedicated practice. Between 6 and 8 CPS is solid right-click speed for gaming purposes. Between 8 and 10 CPS shows above-average right-click control. Above 10 CPS over a full ten-second test is exceptional for right-click inputs specifically.
The reason right-click scores tend to run lower than left-click scores is habit. The index finger has thousands of hours of practice on the left button through normal computer use, gaming, and browsing. The middle or ring finger on the right button has had far less deliberate training time. That gap closes quickly with focused practice.
Right-Click CPS vs Left-Click CPS
Take your standard left-click test using the 10 second CPS test and compare it to your right-click result here. The gap between your two scores shows how much your right-click speed lags behind your dominant clicking finger.
A gap of 1 to 2 CPS between left and right click is normal. A gap of 3 or more CPS suggests your right-click response is a meaningful weak point that could be costing you speed in games that rely on it. For RTS and MOBA players specifically, narrowing this gap is worth focused practice time.
You can also compare your right-click result against your jitter click test score to understand how technique affects speed across different buttons. Most players find jitter clicking is far more difficult to apply to the right button because the finger position and angle differ from the standard left-button grip.
How to Improve Your Right-Click Speed
The most direct way to improve is dedicated daily practice on this test. Take five to ten right-click test attempts per session, review your score, and try to beat it on the next run. Consistency over several weeks produces the best results.
Your finger placement matters. If your right-click finger hovers too high above the button between clicks, you lose time on each press. Keep your finger close to the button surface so the movement to actuate is minimal. Players with a claw or fingertip grip typically have an easier time achieving higher right-click CPS because their finger sits at a more responsive angle.
Check your mouse setup before serious practice. Verify that your right button is registering every click cleanly using our mouse double-click test. A button that occasionally misses rapid inputs or double-fires will produce inaccurate scores and frustrating practice sessions. Also confirm your mouse polling rate is at 1000Hz so consecutive fast clicks are captured correctly.
Warming up with a few one-second right-click bursts before your ten-second attempts helps activate your clicking muscles and produces more consistent scores in the full-length test.
Right-Click Speed and Mouse Choice
The right mouse button on many gaming mice has a slightly different switch than the left. Some mice use a lower-quality switch on the right button to save cost, which can affect actuation force and consistency. If your right button feels noticeably stiffer or less responsive than your left, your mouse hardware may be limiting your right-click CPS more than your technique is.
Mice designed for ambidextrous use tend to have matched switch quality on both buttons, which makes them a good choice for players who want consistent performance from both clicks. See our guide on the best gaming mice for fast clicking for recommendations at different budgets. For testing whether your current mouse is performing as expected, the mouse tester tool shows every input from both buttons in real time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my right-click CPS lower than my left-click CPS?
This is normal for most people. The left button gets far more use through everyday computer tasks, gaming, and browsing. That long history of repetition means the index finger is conditioned for fast clicking in a way the right-click finger is not. Consistent practice narrows the gap within a few weeks.
Can I use jitter clicking on the right button?
Jitter clicking on the right button is possible but harder than on the left. The finger position over the right button is different, which makes generating consistent muscle vibrations more difficult. Some players achieve moderate jitter technique on the right button but it requires separate, deliberate practice from left-button jitter training.
Does right-click speed matter for Minecraft?
Yes, particularly for building and for combat on older combat versions. Fast right-click speed means quicker block placement, which is critical for competitive Minecraft bridge building and defensive building in PvP situations. Use our Minecraft CPS test to benchmark your in-game clicking performance.
Is this test accurate for all mice?
The test accurately captures every right-click input your browser receives. However, mice with debounce settings that prevent rapid consecutive clicks may artificially lower your score. If your score seems lower than expected, use the double-click test to check whether your right button is registering fast inputs correctly.
How does this compare to the Kohi click test?
The Kohi click test measures left-button CPS over ten seconds and is the standard Minecraft PvP benchmark. This right click CPS test uses the same ten-second window but captures only right-button inputs. Both tests give you your CPS score at the end. Run both to compare your speed across buttons.
