Press the SPACEBAR as fast as you can

What is the spacebar test?

The spacebar test measures how many times you can press the spacebar in a set time. It is popular in spacebar clicker games (where you stack presses to level up), in Minecraft jump-spamming and among osu! players. The average is around 5-7 presses per second; with a two-finger technique gamers exceed 10-12. Only the spacebar counts: every other key is ignored.

Tips to press the spacebar faster

  • Alternate both thumbs on the bar: it doubles your speed versus a single finger
  • Rest your wrists and keep your hands relaxed to last the whole test without fatigue
  • A mechanical keyboard with light linear switches responds faster than a membrane one
  • Try the jitter technique applied to your thumb: lightly tense the forearm to vibrate
