How Fast Is Your Double Click?

Measure the time interval between your double clicks in milliseconds. Detect whether your mouse registers double clicks reliably and identify switch bounce or debounce problems — all processed locally in your browser.

This test measures the time gap between two consecutive clicks in a double-click action, using PointerEvent timestamps with sub-millisecond precision to detect interval consistency and switch reliability.

The default Windows double-click speed threshold is 500ms. Most users double-click in 80–150ms, while the OS double-click detection window is configurable from 200ms to 900ms.

What Do Your Results Mean?

Result Range Meaning
Good Consistent intervals of 50–150ms Your double-click timing is fast and consistent. Your mouse switch is registering reliably with no bounce or missed clicks.
Warning Intervals vary by more than 50ms between attempts Inconsistent double-click intervals may indicate an aging mouse switch or incorrect OS double-click speed settings. Check your mouse configuration.
Poor Frequent missed double clicks or intervals under 20ms Extremely short intervals (under 20ms) suggest switch bounce — your mouse is registering phantom clicks. Intervals that frequently exceed your OS threshold mean double clicks are not being recognized.

Common Issues & Solutions

Mouse registers single clicks as double clicks (phantom double-click)

This is a classic sign of switch bounce from a worn-out microswitch. Increase the debounce delay in your mouse software, or replace the mouse switch if the problem persists.

Double clicks are not registering in the OS despite fast interval

Your OS double-click speed setting may be too fast. On Windows, go to Settings → Devices → Mouse → Additional mouse options and slow down the double-click speed slider. On macOS, adjust in System Preferences → Mouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal double-click speed?

Most users double-click with an interval of 80–150ms between the two clicks. The operating system typically allows up to 500ms between clicks to register as a double click, though this threshold is adjustable.

How do I know if my mouse has switch bounce?

If this test shows intervals under 20ms between clicks when you only clicked once, your mouse switch is bouncing. This means the switch contacts are chattering and producing ghost clicks. It is a common issue with aging mechanical microswitches.

Can I adjust my double-click speed in the operating system?

Yes. On Windows, go to Settings → Devices → Mouse → Additional mouse options to adjust the double-click speed slider. On macOS, navigate to System Preferences → Mouse and adjust the Double-Click Speed slider.

Is any data uploaded during the test?

No. All timing measurements use PointerEvent timestamps locally in your browser. No data is transmitted to any server.
