Butterfly Click Test: Count What the Browser Receives

Compare ordinary clicking and alternating fingers

1. Choose 5 or 10 seconds. Keep the same duration, mouse and browser for both methods. The test is about clicks received on the page, not the number of finger movements.
2. Check one ordinary click, then Reset. Keep the pointer in the middle of the pad and confirm that a normal primary click changes the count. Reset before recording a complete sample.
3. Record your baseline. Run a complete test with your ordinary clicking method. Note the total count and Final CPS, then select Reset.
4. Try the alternate method on the same button. Use alternating fingers on the same primary mouse button while keeping the pointer inside the pad. Avoid using the right button or adding keyboard and touch input to a mouse-only attempt.
5. Record and repeat. Compare complete runs with the same settings. Keep your own notes before resetting; the widget shows the current result and does not save a multi-run history.

One counted event is not one observed finger motion. The page receives browser click events. It does not watch your fingers, identify the method or apply a multiplier because two fingers are involved.

One button, two fingers and registered clicks

If you want to check which button is being received, use the mouse-button test. If ordinary single-click attempts produce unexpected results, inspect them separately before comparing methods; the double-click test reports registered gaps. Neither a high count nor a low count on this page identifies a hardware fault.

Read Final CPS after the whole window

Final CPS = valid click count ÷ selected seconds. For example, 50 clicks over 10 seconds is 5.00 CPS. If a second method produces 64 clicks over the same 10 seconds, that run is 6.40 CPS. These are illustrative calculations, not expected results or proof of a technique.

The first valid click starts the timer and is included. Clicks exactly at or after the deadline are excluded. If you stop early, the remaining idle time still belongs to the selected window. Current CPS uses elapsed time while running, so its early value can jump; use Final CPS for the completed comparison.

Equivalent interval does not show the actual gaps

The displayed conversion is 1000 ÷ Final CPS, to two decimal places in milliseconds. At 5 CPS, an evenly spaced pace would use 200.00 ms. Your actual clicks can alternate short and long gaps and still produce that score. Use the auto clicker speed test for measured average gaps and gap spread, or the click interval calculator for a theoretical conversion.

Repeat a complete test with the same settings

The duration selector is locked during a run. Keep the tab visible until it finishes. Hiding or leaving the page cancels the measurement and clears the partial result; return and select Reset before trying again.

Reset ends and clears the current measurement while keeping the chosen duration. A finished test stays finished until Reset; changing the duration between runs also clears the result. Record a count before resetting if you want to keep it for comparison.

Do not compare a five-second result directly with a ten-second result as if only the finger method changed. Repeat under the same conditions, keep automated input separate, and note pauses or missed targets. This page does not grade technique or establish a maximum CPS for a mouse.

Use a different tool for a different question

• General CPS test: choose a 5, 10 or 30 second clicking-rate sample.
• Right-click test: measure right-button presses instead of primary clicks.
• Jitter click test: compare repeated short samples with another chosen method.
• Click speed tools directory: distinguish button counts, click rates and timing measurements.

This test counts arriving events only and cannot click another page or Windows app. The online A/B/C demo generates events inside its own demonstration; keep that result separate from manual mouse measurements.
