Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good reaction time?
The average human visual reaction time is about 250 ms. Trained gamers and athletes often reach 200 ms or faster. Anything under 200 ms is considered elite.
Why does the tool detect early clicks?
If you click before the green signal, you are guessing rather than reacting. The tool flags this so your real reaction time is measured accurately.
Does this tool measure auditory reaction time?
No, this tester is visual only. Visual reaction times are typically 30-50 ms slower than auditory ones because the eyes process stimuli more slowly than the ears.
Is my best score saved?
Yes, your all-time best single-round reaction time is saved in your browser localStorage, so it persists between visits on the same device.
