Butterfly Click Test — CPS Speed Test
The butterfly click test measures the CPS you can achieve using butterfly clicking — a technique where you alternate two fingers (typically index and middle) to click a single mouse button in rapid succession. This is one of the fastest clicking methods available without special hardware, with skilled butterfly clickers regularly achieving 15–20+ CPS. The technique is popular in Minecraft Bedwars and PvP combat where high CPS provides a direct advantage. Note that some competitive servers detect and ban butterfly clicking as it can significantly exceed the CPS achievable through standard clicking — always check server rules before using the technique.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is butterfly clicking?
Butterfly clicking is a technique where you alternate two fingers — typically your index and middle finger — to click a single mouse button in rapid alternation. Each finger click registers as a separate click, effectively doubling your click rate compared to single-finger clicking. Skilled butterfly clickers achieve 15–20+ CPS. The technique requires a mouse with a light, responsive click mechanism.
What is a good butterfly click CPS score?
A beginner learning butterfly clicking typically achieves 8–12 CPS initially. With consistent practice, 15–18 CPS is achievable for most people. Elite butterfly clickers sustain 18–22 CPS in short bursts. Getting above 20 CPS consistently requires a responsive gaming mouse, proper technique, and significant practice.
Is butterfly clicking detected by anti-cheat?
Yes, many Minecraft server anti-cheat systems (including NCP and AAC) detect butterfly clicking because the CPS exceeds what single-finger clicking can produce. Servers with strict CPS limits (typically 16–20 CPS) will flag or ban butterfly clickers. Some anti-cheat systems also detect the characteristic click pattern. Always check a server's rules before using butterfly technique.
Is butterfly clicking faster than jitter clicking?
Generally yes. Butterfly clicking produces higher peak CPS than jitter clicking for most people — typically 15–20 CPS versus 10–14 CPS for jitter. However, butterfly clicking is harder to sustain over longer tests (30s+) because it requires active two-finger coordination. Jitter clicking can sometimes produce higher CPS in very short bursts (1–2 seconds) for experienced practitioners.
Which mouse is best for butterfly clicking?
The best mice for butterfly clicking have a light actuation force on the main buttons and a low click travel distance. The Razer DeathAdder V3, Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, and Endgame Gear XM1r are popular choices among butterfly clickers. Avoid mice with heavy click resistance or membrane-style buttons — the extra resistance significantly reduces butterfly clicking performance.
