I just want to get a distribution of the mouse speed as a data-driven basis for my other thread.

So here's what you do:

Go to
-> this website <-
and click on the page 5 times as fast as you can (like you would in starcraft spamming gateways/factories/adjacent hatches).

The website will tell you your time average for the "rebound rate" of your mouse for those 5 clicks. Practice a few times and report your lowest in a post, and vote in the poll below.

[image loading]

Poll: What was your best average?
(Vote): <20
(Vote): 20-40
(Vote): 40-60
(Vote): 60-80
(Vote): 80-100
(Vote): 100-120
(Vote): 120+

Update:

Now that I have some data, let's talk about conclusions. Certain commands, such as 1a2a3a4a, or click-macro, or 1 right click 2 right click 3 right click, etc... are bottle-necked by this mouse-response time. Therefore it is readily apparent that those on the <20 side of the bell curve that is starting to show up will have a MUCH greater advantage than those on the >120+ side. (though at least half the people > 120 based on the posts in this thread are trolling.)

For reference, with the script I wrote in my other thread. the number are:
4
16
2
15
10
Average: 9.4

Thus I can safely say that the program does not significantly improve over the best unassisted mouse currently out there.

Edit:
So there seems to be a lot of confusion. The test is really quite simple. It takes a time snapshot of when your mouse goes down, then takes another time snapshot when your mouse goes up and it subtracts the difference and outputs it in milliseconds. Because of this, there are many ways of cheating the program... but what's the point? For example, releasing the mouse off screen will totally screw up results... as will refreshing, rightclicking while left button held down, etc... The random 0s is an expected phenomenon. If you got a negative number... Please practice clicking correctly. (not dragging, not refreshing, not pulling off page... just nice stable clicks.) If after that you still have problems, please pm me, and I will try to reproduce it and fix.
I'll race you to defeatism... you win.

Got myself a 39.2. Although I'm still rather clueless as to how they calculate this.

I can't get better than 56.8 :O

My mouse is a Logitech MX510. I never installed any mouseware or anything, just whatever Vista installs by default.

It might be possible to click faster though, I feel like I don't click physically as fast as some people could

My lowest was 46 although I'm not sure that's good or bad.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

I'm treating it as a contest so that we can see the minimum increment where your average bottoms out. And @Roffles, if by "they" you mean me... the code is open... I stole bits and pieces of the internet, but it's only like 15 lines total.

How it works: grabs time of your mousedown, grabs time of your mouseup. Subtracts them, that's your "rebound delay." Then average 5 of those.

That's why I'm putting this up, so I can make the case that there is a huge spread of rebound delays.

Cuz I'm a noob programmer and didn't bother to stress test it. What browser? Was able to reproduce. I'm going to make a "click me" button.

Pro-tip. Hold down the mouse button a little bit on each one =p

I was 120+.
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

I think that's because you're doing your first click too soon after refreshing, but I could be wrong.


I got about 40 with the Diamondback 3G.

So it just measures the time you keep your button clicked, right? Lowest: 25.6 on Logitech G5

ROFL, you're supposed to get a really low score. The idea is to have your button stay clicked as little as possible when you're trying to "click" something not select it. So 120+ is bad. Under 50 is good i guess.
