Frequently asked questions
How accurate is it?
The high-resolution browser clock measures from the frame that paints green to your press. Refresh rate, touch or mouse lag, and device speed can still shift results by tens of milliseconds, so it is best for tracking yourself on one device rather than comparing devices.
Why are presses under 0.1 seconds retried?
Seeing a change and moving a finger usually takes at least 0.1 seconds. Faster presses count as guesses rather than reactions, so that round is measured again.
Any tips for a better score?
Watch the middle of the pad with your finger ready. Turn up screen brightness, and use a wired mouse or touch rather than Bluetooth devices to reduce lag.
