About the KPS test
KPS means key presses per second. Choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds, click the pad once to start, then press keys on your keyboard as fast as you can. Every new key press counts, whichever key it is.
Holding a key down does not count. Keyboards repeat a held key automatically, and this test ignores those repeats so that only real presses are scored. Submitted results are also checked for input patterns that no human produces.
This is the keyboard counterpart of the CPS test. It is useful for games and rhythm tasks where you tap keys quickly, and for seeing how much faster several fingers are than one.
How to improve
- Alternate fingers or roll them across several keys instead of hammering with one finger.
- Keep your wrists level and your hands relaxed.
- A keyboard with a light switch needs less force for each press.
- Short rests between runs keep your fingers fresh.
