1. What is CPS?

CPS (Clicks Per Second) measures how many mouse clicks a user can perform in one second. It's commonly used in gaming to test click speed and in usability testing to measure user interaction speed.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple CPS formula:

Where:

• \( mouse\_clicks \) — Total number of mouse clicks
• \( interval \) — Time period in seconds

Explanation: The formula divides the total number of clicks by the time taken to get clicks per second.

3. Importance of CPS Measurement

Details: CPS is important for gamers (especially in games requiring rapid clicking), for testing mouse performance, and in human-computer interaction studies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total mouse clicks (must be ≥1) and time interval in seconds (must be >0). The calculator will compute your CPS rate.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good CPS score?
A: Average is 5-7 CPS. Professional gamers can achieve 10+ CPS. World records exceed 15 CPS.

Q2: Does mouse type affect CPS?
A: Yes, gaming mice with lower click latency and better switches can improve CPS.

Q3: How can I improve my CPS?
A: Practice techniques like jitter clicking or butterfly clicking, and ensure proper finger positioning.

Q4: Is higher CPS always better?
A: Not necessarily. Accuracy is often more important than pure speed in most applications.

Q5: Can this calculator measure burst CPS?
A: Yes, by measuring clicks over a very short interval (e.g., 0.5 seconds).
