What is butterfly clicking?
Butterfly clicking uses two fingers on one button: the index and middle finger (or index and ring finger) tap the left mouse button one after the other, like a drum roll. Because each finger only has to move half as often, the total rate can be much higher than with one finger. Scores above 15 CPS are possible, but how much of that registers depends on the mouse.
Why the result shows short gaps
When two fingers alternate, the gap between clicks becomes uneven: one finger lands a moment after the other, then there is a longer pause. The chart in the result shows every gap in order, and the share of gaps under 50 ms tells you how much of your speed comes from those quick pairs.
Does your mouse register butterfly clicks?
Every mouse filters out very fast repeated signals from its switch (this is called debounce) so that one press is not read as two. A mouse with a long debounce time will swallow some butterfly clicks, so two people with the same technique can score differently. If your score seems stuck, try the test with another mouse.
Tips
- Keep the fingers close together. Both fingers should rest on the button, with the tips a few millimetres apart.
- Find a rhythm. An even left-right rhythm beats random hammering.
- Check the rules. Some game servers limit how many CPS they accept, whatever the technique. Know the limit where you play.
