Drag Clicking

The highest-CPS technique in the game. Test it, then learn what actually makes a mouse register drags.

How we keep measurements honest
Tab-switch voids the round

Leave the tab mid-test and the attempt is discarded, not scored.

Sub-80ms is a prediction

Humans can't react faster than ~80ms. Faster taps are flagged and excluded.

Input dedup at 100ms

Double-taps and macro bursts can't inflate a reading.

What is drag clicking?

Drag clicking drags the finger across the button so friction makes the switch ripple — a single drag can register 10–30 clicks. It is the reason CPS leaderboards look impossible.

What you need

A grippy, lightly textured button surface or grip tape, slightly moist (never wet) fingers, and a very light drag. Pressure kills the ripple: skim, do not press.

Do all mice register drag clicks?

No. Many modern gaming mice debounce aggressively and will swallow almost every drag. This is why drag communities obsess over specific models and switch types rather than technique alone.

Frequently asked

How many CPS is drag clicking?
Casual drags give 10–25 CPS; skilled multi-finger drags reach 50–100+ on permissive mice. Results above 25 are flagged here for review.
Is drag clicking cheating?
On servers that ban it, yes. As a finger-skill benchmark it is legitimate — check the rules of wherever you compete.
Why is my drag registering nothing?
Most likely the mouse, not you. Try a lighter touch and a textured surface before blaming your technique.
