onlinegamesbrowser.comHow to play
The counter adds one for each press. At the end it divides by the seconds, so you get both a total and a presses-per-second rate.
- Choose 1 s, 5 s, 10 s, 30 s or 60 s.
- Hit the spacebar to begin. That opening press already counts.
- Carry on until the clock runs out.
- Read your total and your rate. Best keeps your top score for each length in this browser.
Controls
- Keyboard: the spacebar. Click the game once first, so Space goes to the counter instead of scrolling this page.
- Touch: an oversized key on the screen stands in for the spacebar, and every tap counts as one press.
- Pause: the button stops the test.
Tips
- Use your stronger thumb, or alternate both thumbs.
- Leave your thumb on the key and use short, shallow strokes.
- Keep the wrist relaxed and steady so the motion comes from the thumb.
- Compare scores on the same keyboard. Keys differ in how far they travel.
FAQ
Does holding the spacebar down count?
No, a held key counts once. Your keyboard sends repeats while a key is down, but the counter ignores them until you let go and press again.
Why were some presses ignored?
Anything under 20 milliseconds after the previous press is thrown out. Fifty presses a second is beyond human thumbs, but not beyond macros or a sticking key. A round full of those still shows its score, without saving it as a best.
Why does the page scroll when I press Space?
Until the game has focus, the spacebar scrolls this page. Click or tap the game once, then press away.
Can I use the spacebar clicker at school?
The spacebar clicker needs no install and no account, so it opens in any up-to-date browser, Chromebooks included. A school filter can still block the site, and if it does, only the school's IT team can allow it.
