How it works
Pointer move intervals are sampled over time, then grouped into an estimated update frequency. It is an approximation, but it is still useful for quick diagnostics and comparison.
How to use it
- Choose a mode or timer preset.
- Start the session and focus on smooth, controlled input.
- Review the summary card, compare your score, and repeat with a different pace.
Tips
- Warm up before serious attempts.
- Use relaxed posture and avoid tensing the wrist.
- Track longer sessions too, not only short bursts.
Common mistakes
- Moving the mouse too slowly to generate enough events.
- Comparing browser estimates with manufacturer software as if they were identical.
- Testing on a laggy background system.
