Can I use a touchscreen?

There's a separate tap area on mobile, but keyboard results are stored separately from touch results.

Does holding the key count?

No. We filter keydown events where repeat is true, so holding doesn't inflate your score.

Spacebar Speed

How fast can you press the spacebar?

~1 min

Measured values depend on your device, input method, display refresh rate, operating system and environment. This is not laboratory-grade measurement.

What this measures

Spacebar Speed counts discrete spacebar presses per second — a direct keyboard benchmark.

How it works

Press the spacebar. Your first accepted press starts a 10-second timer. We ignore browser auto-repeat while holding the key down, so each press must be intentional.

How results are calculated

Presses per second = accepted keydowns ÷ duration. We store total presses and interval variability.

Accuracy & limitations

Keyboard latency and technique affect results. This is a utility benchmark (Evidence C).
