Reaction time test — measured in milliseconds

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I tap too early?
You'll see "Too soon" and the round won't count. The wait is random between 1.5 and 5 seconds each time, so you can't time it by rhythm.
Is mouse or touch faster?
It depends on the device. Display refresh rate, wireless mice and how a touchscreen processes input can shift the same person's time by tens of milliseconds. Compare scores on the same device.
Can I use the keyboard?
Yes. Focus the panel with Tab or a single tap, then press Space or Enter. Holding a key down counts only once.
