What is the spacebar speed test?
The spacebar speed test measures how many times you can press the space key per second. It's a keyboard cousin of the CPS test, popular as the 'spacebar challenge'.
Use the full spacebar counter
For freestyle counting and more timed modes, use the spacebar counter.
Faster spacebar presses
- Use two fingers or both thumbs alternately.
- A light, low-travel keyboard helps.
- Stay relaxed — tension slows you down.
