Butterfly Click Test
Butterfly clicking uses two fingers alternating rapidly on the same button, roughly doubling the click rate a single finger can manage. Test your butterfly clicking speed and consistency below.
Your browser doesn't support high-resolution timing.
Please update to a modern version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari to take this test.
How to Use This Test
- Rest two fingers (usually index and middle) on the mouse button.
- Alternate them rapidly — as one lifts, the other presses down.
- Keep both fingers close to the button to minimize travel time.
- Maintain the alternating rhythm for the full test duration.
Understanding Your Results
Butterfly clicking usually produces a higher CPS than single-finger clicking and often a tighter consistency score than jitter clicking, since the alternating motion is more deliberate and repeatable. Compare your consistency figure here against your jitter click result to see which technique suits your hand better.
About the Butterfly Click Test
Butterfly clicking splits the clicking motion across two fingers instead of one, so each finger only has to move at half the rate needed to hit the same overall CPS. It's widely used in Minecraft PvP and similar games as an alternative to jitter clicking that some players find easier to control precisely.
Unlike jitter clicking, butterfly clicking doesn't rely on arm tension — it's a deliberate, learnable motion that tends to be more comfortable to sustain over longer tests.
Tips to Improve
Keep both fingers low and close to the button — less travel means faster alternation.
Practice the alternating rhythm slowly first, then gradually speed up.
A mouse with two closely-matched, light switches makes butterfly clicking easier to execute cleanly.
This technique tends to reward practice more than jitter clicking — expect steady improvement over multiple sessions.

A technique that alternates two fingers rapidly on the same mouse button, roughly doubling the achievable click rate compared to one finger.
Many people find it more controllable since it's a deliberate alternating motion rather than relying on arm tension, but it takes practice either way.
Any rapid-clicking technique puts more cycles on a mouse switch over time than casual use. This is a browser test and can't measure hardware wear.
