Butterfly Click Test
Measure your speed with the butterfly clicking technique

What is butterfly clicking?
Butterfly clicking is a technique where you alternate two fingers (usually the index and middle) on the same mouse button, so each finger clicks in turn and you double your clicks. It reaches between 12 and 20 CPS, above jitter clicking and with less forearm strain. It is very popular in Minecraft PvP. Its weak point is that some games may register unwanted double clicks if the mouse bounces, so a steady rhythm is key.
How to butterfly click
- Rest your index and middle finger on the same button and alternate presses at a steady rhythm
- Aim for a regular rhythm rather than maximum force: butterfly rewards cadence, not power
- A mouse with fast-resetting switches avoids dropped presses between fingers
- Watch for accidental double clicks: if the mouse bounces, slow the rhythm slightly so every press counts
Frequently asked questions about butterfly clicking
What is a good butterfly clicking CPS?
Butterfly clicking usually lands between 12 and 20 CPS, above jitter. Below 12 you are close to jitter; above 20 is very advanced.
Butterfly or jitter clicking, which is better?
Butterfly usually reaches more CPS and tires the forearm less because it splits the effort between two fingers, but it needs more rhythm. Jitter is easier to learn but more exhausting. Try both and keep the one you control best.
Is butterfly clicking allowed?
Yes. It is a manual technique allowed in most games and servers, unlike autoclickers. Still, some servers cap the maximum CPS and penalize double clicks.
Which mouse is best for butterfly clicking?
A mouse with fast-resetting switches and no double-click tendency. If the mouse bounces, butterfly generates phantom presses that some games detect.
