This right click test counts how many times you can click the right mouse button in 5 seconds and turns it into clicks per second. Right clicking normally opens a menu, which ruins any speed test, so the test blocks that menu inside the click area and anywhere on the page while a run is going. It doubles as a check that your right button works at all: every click should add one to the counter, no more and no less. Pick a length from 1 to 100 seconds, and use a mouse or a touchpad set up for right clicks on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS or Linux.
How to use the right click test
- Count is already set to Right. Left clicks on the pad do not count while it is.
- Pick a length. Five seconds is the standard, 1 second shows your burst speed.
- Put the pointer on the pad and right click. The timer starts on that first click.
- Keep clicking until the timer runs out, then read your score, best second and consistency.
- Press Try again for another run. Your best right click score is saved for each length.
What your right click score means
| Rank | Right clicks per second, 5 seconds |
|---|---|
| Warming up | under 4 |
| Steady | 4 to 6 |
| Quick | 6 to 7.5 |
| Fast | 7.5 to 9 |
| Very fast | 9 to 11 |
| Elite | 11 and up |
Most people press the right button with the middle finger, which is less practised than the index finger on the left button, so a right click score one or two below your left click score is normal. Try both on the cps test to compare. Butterfly and drag clicking work on the right button too, and players use them to place blocks quickly in Minecraft. Pick the style above the pad to see the matching ranks.
The right button does nothing
If right clicks on the pad do not move the counter, work through these from the most likely:
- The buttons are swapped. In Windows 11, open Settings, Bluetooth & devices, Mouse and check Primary mouse button. If it says Right, your right button acts as the left one. On a Mac, check Secondary click in System Settings, Mouse.
- Mouse software reassigned it. Logitech G HUB, Razer Synapse and similar apps can turn the right button into another action. Reset the button to its default.
- The touchpad is not set to right click. In Windows 11, open Settings, Bluetooth & devices, Touchpad, then Taps, and turn on Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to right-click or Tap with two fingers to right-click. On a Mac trackpad, turn on Secondary click in Trackpad settings.
- The switch has failed. If the button is dead in every app and on another computer, the switch under it is worn out. See the guide for when your mouse not working for the full checks.
The right button sticks or feels mushy
A right button that feels soft, comes up slowly or needs a hard press loses fast clicks first, which shows up here as a low score with a ragged graph.
- Dirt under the button. Blow compressed air around the edge of the button while you press it a few times.
- A sticky spill. Wipe the gap around the button with a barely damp cloth, then let the mouse dry fully before you use it again.
- A worn switch spring. The click goes quiet or loses its sharp feel. Only a new switch fixes that.
- A cracked hinge in the shell. Some mice have a thin plastic strip that lets the button flex. If it cracks, the button wobbles and misses presses.
A menu still pops up
The menu is only blocked inside this test. If it appears while you click, the pointer drifted off the click area between runs, or another program put its own menu on top, such as a game overlay or a browser extension. On a Mac, holding Control while clicking the left button also opens a menu, and that is not a right click.
One right click counts twice
If the result card warns that clicks came less than 20 ms apart while you clicked with one finger, the right button switch is bouncing. In daily use that opens menus twice or picks the wrong menu item. Check the button with slow single clicks on the double click test, which tracks the right button separately, and follow the steps for mouse double clicking if it fails.
Right clicking in games
- Minecraft uses the right button to place blocks and use items. Holding it in Java Edition places a block about every 4 game ticks, 5 a second, so fast separate clicks place more while bridging. The butterfly click test explains the two finger technique many bridgers use.
- League of Legends and similar games move your character with right clicks, so a crisp, reliable right button matters more than speed.
- Shooters often aim down sights with the right button, where a switch that bounces makes the zoom flicker.
Testing the other buttons
The wheel press and side buttons need their own checks. The middle click test times the wheel button, and the mouse button test shows every button and the scroll wheel at once.
What a right click test cannot measure
The test counts right clicks that reach the browser. It cannot see how long each click took to arrive, so it does not measure input lag. Some mice let software intercept the right button for gestures, and those clicks never reach the page. Turn gestures off while you test.
Right click test questions
How do I test my right click?
Right click the pad above at your normal pace. If the counter goes up with every click, the right button works. Then click as fast as you can for a speed score. A button that sometimes does nothing, or counts two from one click, is starting to fail.
What is a good right click CPS?
Over 5 seconds, 6 to 7.5 CPS is quick, 7.5 to 9 is fast and 9 or more is very fast for one finger. Many people score a little lower on the right button than on the left, because the middle finger that usually presses it gets less practice.
Why does right click not work on my mouse?
Check that the buttons are not swapped in your mouse settings and that mouse software has not reassigned the button. If the right button is dead in every app and on another computer, the switch inside has failed.
How do I right click on a laptop touchpad?
On Windows 11, press the lower right corner of the touchpad or tap with two fingers. Both options are in Settings, Bluetooth and devices, Touchpad, Taps. On a Mac trackpad, click with two fingers. On a Chromebook, press Alt and click, or click with two fingers.
Does this test stop the right click menu everywhere?
Only inside the click area, and anywhere on the page while a run is going. Right click works as normal everywhere else, and in every other tab and app.
