RCPS Test: Measure & Maximize Your Right Click Speed
"RCPS" stands for Right Clicks Per Second. This specialized benchmark is designed to accurately measure how fast you can actuate your mouse's right button within a set timeframe, typically 5 seconds. Unlike standard Left Click CPS tests, the RCPS test evaluates a different set of muscles, techniques, and the stiffness of your right mouse button switch.
Why RCPS is Unique
Right-click switches are often used for essential secondary actions (e.g., aiming, blocking, context menus). Mastering RCPS not only boosts gaming performance but also ensures consistency across both your dominant and non-dominant clicking fingers.
RCPS Score Guide: How Does Your Right Click Speed Rank?
Right-click speeds are generally 1-2 CPS slower than left-click speeds due to the positioning and use of the middle finger. Use this table to understand where your score stands:
| RCPS Score (5s) | Rank Title | User Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - 3 | Casual User 🐢 | General Productivity | Primarily uses right-click for occasional context menus. |
| 4 - 6 | Advanced User 🚶 | Regular Gamers & Power Users | Consistent speed, able to execute rapid commands efficiently. |
| 7 - 9 | Expert Clicker 🐆 | Competitive Gamers (FPS/MOBA) | Excellent muscle memory, utilizing specialized techniques for sustained speed. |
| 10+ | RCPS Master 🤖 | World-Class / Specialized Techniques | Exceptional speed achieved through advanced methods like Butterfly or Jitter Clicking. |
Mastering RCPS: Advanced Clicking Techniques
To achieve high RCPS scores, you need to go beyond standard finger tapping. Here are the two most effective techniques for the right mouse button:
1. Jitter Clicking (Right Button)
This method involves creating a controlled vibration in your hand and wrist while lightly pressing the right button. The resulting micro-movements allow the switch to actuate multiple times rapidly.
- Technique: Tense your forearm slightly and vibrate your hand, allowing your middle finger to tap the button rapidly without lifting the entire hand.
- Goal RCPS: 8 - 12+
2. Butterfly Clicking (Right Button)
Butterfly clicking relies on minimizing the reset time of the switch by using two fingers (typically the middle finger and ring finger) to alternate tapping the right button.
- Technique: Alternate placing and lifting two fingers very quickly on the right mouse button, maximizing click registration per second.
- Goal RCPS: 10 - 14+ (Highly mouse-dependent)
Right Click Speed in Competitive Gaming
Fast and accurate right-clicking is essential for competitive advantage in many popular games:
- Minecraft (PvP): Right-click speed is crucial for rapidly placing blocks, switching between weapons, and most importantly, **rapidly raising and lowering the shield** to block incoming attacks with minimal exposure.
- Real-Time Strategy (RTS): Games like StarCraft demand near-instantaneous right-clicks for micro-managing units, issuing attack commands, and pathing.
- FPS Games: Right-click is used for Aim Down Sights (ADS) or using specific tactical gear. Fast RCPS can be utilized for 'quick-scope' or 'flick-scope' techniques.
- MOBAs (Dota 2/LoL): Right-click dictates all movement, auto-attacks, and targeting. Faster RCPS means more precise unit control.
- MMOs: Used for rapid targeting, casting abilities, or accessing macro menus during crucial encounters.
Troubleshooting: Why Your Right Click Speed is Low
If your RCPS score is significantly lower than your Left CPS score, the cause is usually related to hardware or finger mechanics:
- Stiffer Microswitch: The right button often uses a switch with a higher actuation force than the left, requiring more strength from your middle finger.
- Middle Finger Dominance: The middle finger is generally less coordinated and stronger than the index finger, requiring more practice to match speed.
- Mouse Grip: Certain grip styles (like Palm Grip) can make it harder to rapidly lift and press the right button. Try a Claw or Fingertip grip during the test.
- Software Double-Click Delay: Check your operating system's mouse settings for any unintentional right-click delay, which can slow down registration.
Frequently Asked Questions (RCPS)
Is right-click speed as important as left-click speed?
For specialized actions like building and combat in competitive gaming, yes. For general desktop use, no. High RCPS is a sign of complete control over your mouse peripheral.
Why is my right-click speed slower than my left-click?
This is almost universal. The index finger is the dominant control finger. To close the gap, focus on isolating and strengthening the middle finger through targeted practice with this RCPS test.
Which mouse is best for high RCPS?
Mice with light, separated buttons (low actuation force) are best. Look for models with Optical Switches or adjustable debounce time, as these switches register clicks faster and more reliably.
