Is this mouse test free and safe to use?
Yes. Every tool on this site is completely free, needs no signup, and runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. Nothing about your hardware, your clicks, or your keystrokes is uploaded, logged, or sent to any server. You can verify this yourself by opening your browser developer tools and switching to the Network tab while using a tool: you will see no requests being made.
Do I need to install anything to test my mouse and keyboard?
No installation of any kind. The tools are web pages that work in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. A physical keyboard is required for the keyboard tester, and any mouse works for the CPS and latency tests, including a trackpad. If a tool seems unresponsive, make sure the browser window has keyboard focus by clicking on it once.
What is a good CPS score?
For general use, anything above 6 CPS is comfortable. Competitive clickers usually reach 8-10 CPS, and elite players hit 12-14 CPS. Below 4 CPS is slow for gaming. Our free CPS test gives you a rank and tracks your personal best so you can see if you are improving.
Why does my measured polling rate differ from the advertised one?
The most common cause is that the mouse is running in Bluetooth mode, which limits polling to 125Hz or 250Hz. The second most common cause is the mouse software throttling the report rate, sometimes because a profile was reset. You can check the real number with our polling rate checker, and our polling rate explainer covers how each rate behaves in practice.
How do I know which mouse I should buy?
Start with your grip style and the games you play, then set a budget. If you are unsure, our best gaming mouse 2026 guide ranks every pick we tested, and best mouse for FPS games narrows it down for competitive shooters. You can also check the physical fit first with our large hands and small hands guides.
How do you test mice and keyboards?
Every product we recommend goes through the same repeatable protocol: sensor accuracy measured against a reference track, polling rate sampled over multiple intervals to catch throttling, click latency measured across 30+ rounds, and a physical build and durability inspection. Our full methodology page documents the equipment, the procedure, and the scoring rubric.
