What it detects
Total clicks, average CPS, peak one-second burst, the shortest interval your alternation produces, and how even your finger rhythm stays.
Two-Finger Technique
Butterfly Click Test
Butterfly clicking alternates your index and middle finger on the same button, nearly doubling your click rate. Test how fast your fingers can drum, and how steady your alternating rhythm really is.

About Butterfly Clicking
• Butterfly clicking rests two fingers on one button and alternates them like a drum roll, so each finger only needs half the tapping speed.
• Typical butterfly clickers reach 12-20 CPS, and with a favorable mouse some exceed 25 - roughly double what single-finger tapping achieves.
• The technique depends on the mouse: buttons with light switches and some post-travel bounce register alternating fingers much better than stiff ones.
• Consistency is the real skill - beginners produce fast but ragged bursts, while practiced players keep an even left-right-left rhythm the whole run.
• Some Minecraft servers ban or limit butterfly clicking because certain mice 'double-click' with it; know your server's rules before relying on the technique.
• Butterfly clicking is gentler on the forearm than jitter clicking, but rapid drumming still deserves breaks - stop if your fingers cramp or ache.
What the butterfly click test measures
Butterfly results depend heavily on the mouse switch and your two-finger rhythm, so compare runs on the same mouse and duration.
Use a real mouse - the technique physically requires a button both fingers can share. Trackpads and touchscreens cannot reproduce it.
What unusual results can mean
Intervals near 0ms mean the switch is double-clicking rather than you clicking; a sawtooth rhythm means one finger is much slower than the other.
Hardware notes
Light switches with a bit of bounce favor butterfly clicking; stiff, heavily debounced buttons can eat every second click of a fast alternation.
Browser and system limits
The page times click events delivered by the browser. At 20+ CPS, tab focus loss or heavy load can visibly cut into the recorded count.
Mobile limits
Two-finger tapping on a screen registers as separate touches, not alternating clicks on one button, so mobile scores are not butterfly clicking.
Butterfly Click Test FAQ
Common questions about the butterfly clicking technique
How do I butterfly click?
Rest both your index and middle finger lightly on the left button and alternate them rapidly, like drumming on a table. Keep the wrist relaxed and let the fingers do the work - a loose, even rhythm scores better than frantic tension.
What CPS is good for butterfly clicking?
15-20 CPS is a strong butterfly click, and anything above 20 is excellent. If you get 10-12, your alternation is working but one finger is probably lagging - the consistency score will show it.
Why do some servers ban butterfly clicking?
On certain mice, two alternating fingers exploit switch bounce so one press registers as two clicks, which looks like an autoclicker to anticheat systems. Many competitive Minecraft servers therefore cap CPS or restrict the technique. Playing within your server's CPS cap keeps you safe.
Butterfly vs jitter clicking - which should I learn?
Butterfly clicking gives higher CPS with less fatigue and is easier to learn, but is restricted on some servers. Jitter clicking is more universally accepted but harder on the arm. Test both here and use whichever fits your game and rules.
Does butterfly clicking damage the mouse?
It concentrates a very high click volume on one switch, so it does accelerate wear. Switches are rated for tens of millions of clicks, but heavy daily butterfly practice can noticeably shorten a button's life on a budget mouse.
