How it works
The test listens for spacebar keydown events, counts valid hits, and updates speed metrics throughout the session. Local history and CSV export make repeat practice easier.
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
- Starting too aggressively and fading early.
- Ignoring rhythm in favor of noisy movement.
- Comparing scores across different devices without context.
