Reaction Time Test
How fast you react, averaged over five tries.

No rounds yet. Results of finished rounds are kept in this browser only.
Your time includes the delay of your screen, mouse or keyboard and browser, which varies by device, often by 10 to 50 ms. Compare results on the same device. The wait before the box turns black is random each time, so it cannot be predicted.
How to use it
- Click the box, tap it or press Space to start a try. The box turns grey.
- Wait. After a random pause the box turns black: click, tap or press Space as fast as you can.
- Do five tries for your average and best. Pressing before the box turns black is a false start and that try does not count.
Questions
Why do I get a different time on another device?
Every screen, mouse, keyboard and touch screen adds its own small delay, and so does the browser. Gaming monitors and wired mice are usually quicker than laptops, phones and wireless devices.
Is it fairer to click or press Space?
Use whichever you prefer, but stick to one, because a mouse, a keyboard and a touch screen each add a different delay.
