100-second click test: what counts as good?
Clicks per second falls as the window grows — burst speed fades into endurance. For 100 seconds, 5.5+ CPS is a good score and 6.9+ CPS is excellent.
100 seconds is an endurance event. Nobody holds their burst rate this long: forearms pump, fingers dull, and the score is decided by discipline in the middle third, not the opening flurry.
Score bands for 100 seconds
| Band | Rate | Total clicks |
|---|---|---|
| Average | 4.2 CPS | ≈ 420 |
| Good | 5.5 CPS | ≈ 550 |
| Excellent | 6.9 CPS | ≈ 690 |
Why the duration changes everything
Modelling sustained clicking as a decay curve calibrated to the 5-second average of 6.2 CPS: a clicker who bursts 7.6 CPS for one second holds only ~4.9 CPS across 30 seconds and ~4.2 CPS across 100. Comparing scores across different durations is meaningless — always quote the window with the number.
Strategy for the 100-second window
Negative-split it: deliberately hold back for the first quarter, settle into a sustainable rhythm, and spend whatever's left at the end. Switching fingers mid-test (butterfly style) redistributes fatigue and is legal everywhere except your own conscience.
Compare your rate against the verdict pages — say is 6 CPS good? — or see how the pros inflate their numbers with butterfly and drag clicking.
