Question 1

How do I measure my click speed (CPS)?

Accepted Answer

Click as fast as you can in the click test area. The tester measures your clicks per second (CPS) in real time. Average CPS is 6-8 for most users, while competitive gamers can reach 10-14 CPS. Try jitter clicking or butterfly clicking for higher scores.

Question 2

How can I test my mouse DPI?

Accepted Answer

Move your mouse across the test area. The tester tracks cursor movement in pixels. Compare the actual pixel movement to your physical mouse movement distance to verify your DPI setting. Higher DPI means more pixels per inch of physical movement.

Question 3

What is mouse polling rate and how do I test it?

Accepted Answer

Polling rate is how often your mouse reports its position to the computer, measured in Hz. Our tester estimates polling rate by measuring the time between mouse movement events. Gaming mice typically run at 1000Hz (1ms), while standard mice use 125Hz (8ms).

Question 4

Can I test all mouse buttons including side buttons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the tester detects left click, right click, middle click (scroll wheel click), and side buttons (Button 4 & 5, commonly used as forward/back). Each button lights up when pressed.

Question 5

How do I test my scroll wheel?

Accepted Answer

Scroll up and down in the test area. The tester shows scroll direction, speed, and individual scroll steps. This helps identify if your scroll wheel is skipping steps, scrolling in the wrong direction, or has inconsistent behavior.

Question 6

Does this work with gaming mice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works with all mice including gaming mice from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, Corsair, and others. High polling rate (1000Hz+) and high DPI settings are fully supported. Specialized buttons beyond Button 5 may require driver support.

Question 7

Can I test my trackpad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, laptop trackpads and external trackpads work with the mouse tester. Click, scroll, and movement tracking all function normally. Multi-touch gestures are handled by the operating system and may not be individually testable.

Question 8

What is double-click speed and how do I check it?

Accepted Answer

Double-click speed is the maximum delay between two clicks that registers as a double-click. Our tester shows the time between consecutive clicks in milliseconds, helping you verify your double-click timing and detect accidental double-clicks (a common issue with aging switches).
