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
- Choose the duration.
- Press Space to start and keep pressing.
- 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.
