The speed at which a person can click varies based on technique and skill. On average, a regular clicking speed is about 3 to 6 clicks per second (CPS). Pro gamers and skilled clickers can reach above 8 CPS with regular clicking. More advanced techniques like jitter clicking can achieve 10 to 14 CPS, butterfly clicking can reach between 15 to 25 CPS, and drag clicking is the fastest, capable of 25 to 100 CPS. The world record for most clicks per second recorded is around 15 CPS in 10 seconds.
Clicking Techniques and Speeds
- Regular Clicking: 3-6 CPS (up to 8+ for pros)
- Jitter Clicking: 10-14 CPS
- Butterfly Clicking: 15-25 CPS
- Drag Clicking: 25-100 CPS (fastest method)
Practical Context
- The fastest clicking speeds are often used in competitive gaming.
- Drag clicking produces extremely high CPS but can wear out mouse buttons quickly.
- The best CPS measurement accuracy is usually for tests of around 5 to 10 seconds.
In summary, how fast a person can click depends heavily on the clicking method used, ranging from a few clicks per second to up to 100 CPS with specialized techniques.
