30 Second Drag Click Test

What is drag clicking?

Drag clicking means resting a finger lightly on the mouse button and dragging it down the surface. The friction makes the finger skip, and the switch registers many presses in a single drag, often 20 or more per second in short bursts.

It only works on some mice. A grippy or textured button helps, and so does a mouse whose switches are not heavily debounced. On many mice a drag registers only a few clicks, whatever the technique.

This page runs the same test as the normal CPS test: every click in the box counts, and each drag shows up as a spike on the red line. Drag scores are kept out of the shared leaderboards and the normal-click rankings, because they are not comparable.

CPS = clicks ÷ secondsClick 187 times in 30 seconds and your CPS is 6.2.

The chart has two lines. The green one is your average since the first click. The red one is your speed over the last 0.3 seconds, so bursts and tired moments show up as peaks and dips.

How to take the test

1. Dry your fingers. Some players put a strip of grip tape on the button.
2. Rest a fingertip near the top of the left button and press lightly.
3. Click inside the box to start the timer, then drag the finger down the button, lift it, and repeat for 30 seconds.
4. Watch the red line: each drag should show up as a spike. If it does not, your mouse may not register drag clicks.
