  1. Choose what to react toA colour change is the usual test. A sound, choosing a side and start lights are the others; targets, clicks a second and the spacebar counter test speed of another kind.
  2. Choose how many triesFive tries give a quick score; ten or twenty a steadier one. Clicks are counted over 1 to 60 seconds, and targets in tens.
  3. Press Start, then waitKeep your finger ready. The change comes after a wait that cannot be guessed. Press Space or Enter, click or tap the box the moment it comes.
  4. Read your resultYour middle try comes first, then the average, the fastest and slowest, every try, and what your setup adds.

Questions people ask

How does the spacebar counter count?
Every press of Space from your first until the time runs out. Holding Space down does not count: only presses, never the repeats a held key sends.
How long is the test?
Ten seconds unless you choose 1, 5, 30 or 60 above the counter. The result gives presses a second and your best second.
Does it work on a phone?
With a keyboard you connect, yes. A phone's on-screen keyboard has no Space to press here; use Clicks a second and tap instead.
