Mouse test
Press each mouse button inside the box, scroll both ways, then measure your polling rate. Everything runs in your browser.
This test needs a computer and a mouse
Phones and tablets don't report mouse buttons or a polling rate. You can test how fast you tap instead.

A reverse jump is a step the wrong way while you scroll in one direction. A few in a row point to a dirty or worn wheel.
Polling rate

| Problem | What you'll see here | Common cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clicks twice | Possible double click on the same button, test after test | Worn or dirty switch | Clean it, claim the warranty or replace the switch |
| A button does nothing | Its count stays at 0 | Turned off or remapped in the mouse software, or a broken switch | Check the software, then try another USB port |
| Cursor feels laggy | Polling rate far below the rated number | Low polling rate setting or power saving mode | Set 1,000 Hz in the mouse software |
| Wireless mouse cuts out | Polling rate drops or the test stops getting movement | Weak signal or low battery | Move the receiver closer, charge or pair again |
| Scrolling jumps back | Reverse jumps while you scroll one way | Dirty or worn wheel | Clean or replace the wheel |

Questions
How do I check if my mouse double clicks?
Click each button 20 to 30 times at a normal pace. If "Possible double click" shows up again in 2–3 tests of the same button, the switch is probably worn.
My mouse is rated 1,000 Hz. Why does the test show less?
Check the polling rate setting in the mouse software first. Wireless mice may lower it to save power, and some browsers deliver fewer events than the mouse sends.
Does a higher polling rate make me faster?
It shortens the gap between reports: at 125 Hz the mouse reports every 8 ms, at 1,000 Hz every 1 ms. Going from 125 to 1,000 Hz saves up to 7 ms. Going above 1,000 Hz saves less than 1 ms more.
Why can't I test a mouse on my phone?
Phones and tablets don't pass mouse buttons, the wheel or a polling rate to web pages in the same way. Use a computer with the mouse plugged in.
Is anything installed or uploaded?
No. The test reads the clicks, scrolls and movement your browser already receives, and nothing leaves this page.
