Why train the right button
Most clicking practice goes to the left button, because that is where everyday clicks happen. Yet plenty of games give the right button a job that rewards speed or rhythm. Depending on the game, it may block, place items, use a held item, fire a second action or interact with the world. If your right button is slow, every one of those actions is held back.
This test isolates that button. Only right clicks count, the browser menu is turned off inside the box, and the timer runs for five seconds from your first right click.
A simple training plan
Gains on the right button come from repetition, not from forcing it. A plan that fits into a few minutes a day:
- Warm up. Open and close your hand a few times and click slowly for a few seconds.
- Three to five runs. Rest for a short while between them so fatigue does not drag the numbers down.
- Same setup each day. Same mouse, same finger, same chair height.
- Check the trend. The Your scores panel draws a chart of your runs. A rising line over a couple of weeks is the goal.
- Stop if it hurts. An aching hand or wrist is a signal to rest, not to push.
Comparing left and right
The most useful number is not your right click CPS on its own but how it compares with your left. Run the standard left click test and this one in the same session, then work out the ratio.
Say your left click average is 7.0 CPS and your right click average is 5.6 CPS. Divide right by left: 5.6 divided by 7.0 is 0.8, so your right button runs at 80 percent of your left. If a month later your right average reaches 6.3 against the same 7.0, the ratio is 0.9, or 90 percent.
Tracking the ratio stops a good or bad day from fooling you. If both scores drop together, you were simply tired. If the ratio climbs, your right button is catching up.
Keep the technique honest
Train with the method you actually use when you play. Switching to a different finger just for the test gives a higher number that does not carry over. For a simpler explanation of why right clicks lag, see the right click speed test. Your left click baseline comes from the left click CPS test.
