Spacebar clicker
How fast can you press the spacebar?
Press the spacebar as fast as you can. The timer starts with your first press, and the counter shows every press. At the end you see your presses and your presses per second. Holding the key down counts once. On a phone or a tablet, tap the big key on the screen.

No keyboard? Tap the big key on the screen. Each tap counts as a press. Your best score for each length stays in this browser.
How the counter keeps it fair
Holding the spacebar down counts once. Computers repeat a key that you hold, but the counter waits until the key comes up before it counts the next press.
Presses less than 20 ms apart do not count: no finger presses 50 times a second. When many presses come that fast, the page shows the score and does not save it.
Tips to press faster
- Use your strongest thumb, or take turns with both thumbs.
- Keep your thumb on the key between presses, and lift it only a little.
- Keep your wrist low and still, and let the thumb do the work.
Try the mouse too with the CPS test, or your aim with the aim trainer.
Questions
How do I play the spacebar clicker?
Pick a time: 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. Press the spacebar to start, and keep pressing until the time runs out. Your score is the number of presses, and the presses per second.
Does holding the spacebar count?
No. Holding the key down counts as one press, even when your computer repeats the key. Let go of it and press again.
Why does the spacebar not scroll the page?
While the game is on your screen, the spacebar plays the game. To scroll, use the mouse, the arrow keys, or a swipe.
Why did some presses not count?
A press less than 20 milliseconds after the last one does not count: no finger presses 50 times a second, but a macro or a stuck key can. When many presses come that fast, the page shows the score but does not save it as your best.
What is a good spacebar score?
There is no official scale, and this page keeps no record of other people's scores, so it can't rank you. Race a friend on the same keyboard and the same length of test: send them your link.
Is the spacebar clicker unblocked? Does it work on a school Chromebook?
It is a normal web page on lifesim.com with nothing to download, so it runs in Chrome on a Chromebook. Some school filters block every game site, so we can't promise that yours allows it. Once the page is open, the test needs no network.
