ClickMetrik · Physical-key speed
Test how fast you can press a physical keyboard key in CPS. Start with Any Key at the 10-second default, or choose Selected Key, Two Key, or Key Spam for a more specific test.
Results include Keyboard CPS, Peak 1s CPS, timing metrics, charts, local history, and personal bests. No account is required; compact results stay in this browser.
Held-key repeat does not count; each accepted press requires a release before that key can count again.
Any Key · Single Test
Any Key
Configure the mode, duration, and test type, then start.
Only accepted physical-key presses inside the focused test area count toward a formal result. Space is excluded. Virtual mobile keyboards cannot produce a formal result.

A Keyboard CPS Test measures how many accepted physical keyboard key presses you make per second during a fixed-duration test. Keyboard CPS can also be described as keys per second, or KPS. ClickMetrik counts only accepted physical key presses: holding a key does not add official presses through auto-repeat, and that key must be released before it can count again.
Keyboard CPS is key presses per second, sometimes called KPS. It is not typing speed or WPM: typing tests measure text production and accuracy rather than this page's accepted press rate. This is also not a reaction-time test or a mixed keyboard-and-mouse APM test.
The page cannot diagnose hardware faults, broken keys, ghosting, rollover, switch condition, or full input latency.
In Best of 5, manually start the next round after each result. Any Key uses the series key locked by the first round for the remaining four rounds.
New users should begin with Any Key, Single Test, and 10 seconds.
This is the most direct any-key speed test mode. The first eligible key locks the current attempt, and other keys do not count. Held-key auto-repeat does not add presses; release the locked key before pressing it again. In Best of 5, the key locked in round one stays locked for all five rounds.
Recommended for new users.
Use this mode to test one specified physical key. Only that configured code counts; the selector shows both its readable label and KeyboardEvent.code.
Use two different physical codes for two-key or alternating-key CPS testing. Both count toward total CPS, with Key Balance, Alternation Accuracy, Same-key Repeats, and Longest Alternation Streak in the result.
Use multiple eligible physical keys for rapid-input testing. Every eligible key can count, while each code keeps its own held/keyup gate. The result includes existing per-key press counts without adding a keyboard heatmap or diagnostic.
Choose 1, 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds, or enter a whole-number Custom duration from 1 to 300 seconds. Ten seconds is the default, and the selected duration is the formal CPS denominator.
Complete one formal round with any eligible duration, using the selected mode and key configuration.
Best of 5 is available only at 1 second. Complete five manually started rounds with one locked configuration. The final result reports Average, Best, Worst, Standard Deviation, and Range.
Configuration stays locked between rounds. A final series is produced only after round five; interrupting an unfinished series discards the entire series.
Keyboard CPS = accepted presses ÷ configured seconds.
35 accepted presses in 10 seconds = 3.50 Keyboard CPS.
Two Key additionally reports Key Balance, Alternation Accuracy, Same-key Repeats, and Longest Alternation Streak using the existing formulas; read those values only in the Two Key context. Key Spam reports per-key counts to show which eligible keys contributed; it does not add percentages, a heatmap, a keyboard layout, or key diagnostics.
Five 1-second rounds produce:
The formal series also reports Standard Deviation; this static example leaves that value to the implemented calculator.
For repeat comparisons, use the same keyboard mode, key configuration, duration, and test variant. Changing from Any Key to Two Key, or from 10 seconds to 1 second, changes what the result represents. Compare keyboard CPS with mouse CPS or APM only as different input tasks, not interchangeable scores.
Formal input requires an eligible KeyboardEvent.code from a physical keyboard inside the focused test area. A keydown must be followed by keyup before that code can count again. Browser repeat, Ctrl/Alt/Meta shortcuts, Space, editable-control input, virtual mobile keyboards, and synthetic input do not count.
The test cannot verify typing ability, WPM, spelling accuracy, reaction time, game skill, hardware faults, ghosting, rollover, switch condition, full input latency, or any nerve, muscle, or medical condition.
Use a natural, comfortable rhythm and stop if pressing causes pain or noticeable discomfort. ClickMetrik does not guarantee that high-speed repetitive pressing is safe and does not provide medical diagnosis.
