One minute, clicks per minute
On a 60-second test there is nothing to convert: the number of clicks is your clicks per minute. Divide it by 60 and you have your CPS. A minute is long enough that technique and pacing matter more than raw finger speed.
Clicks needed in one minute
| Average | Clicks in 60 s | Per minute |
|---|---|---|
| 5 CPS | 300 clicks | 300 CPM |
| 7 CPS | 420 clicks | 420 CPM |
| 10 CPS | 600 clicks | 600 CPM |
| 13 CPS | 780 clicks | 780 CPM |
What the chart tells you
The result has sixty bars, one per second. Most runs show a high start, a drop in the first 10 to 20 seconds and then a lower, steadier plateau. If yours keeps falling to the end, start slower next time. If it is flat, you paced it well and can try a slightly faster start.
Tips for a full minute
- Sit so your forearm is supported. Resting the arm on the desk takes load off the shoulder.
- Use one technique. Switching between normal and jitter clicking mid-run usually costs clicks.
- Take a break between runs. Two or three minutes of rest gives a fairer next result than going again straight away.
