Spacebar counter

Press the spacebar as fast as you can. The timer starts with your first press and counts every press until time runs out — your result is shown in presses per second.

What this test can tell you

The final rate divides counted inputs by the selected test duration. Compare runs using the same duration, input method and device.

This is a score for inputs received by the page, not a verified competition result or a population ranking. Browser load and input behavior can affect the run.

How to use it

  1. Choose the duration.
  2. Press Space to start and keep pressing.
  3. Read your score and try again.

Holding the key does not count

Only separate presses are counted. Auto-repeat from holding the spacebar is ignored, so the score is fair.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good spacebar score?

Around 6–9 presses per second is typical; above 10 is very fast.

Can I test on a phone?

Tap the box instead — every tap counts as one press.
