What drag clicking is
Drag clickYou press the button and slide your finger down it, and the friction makes the button vibrate and fire many times in one drag. The three rows show the clicks a computer receives in the same 200 ms:
- Plain clicks: over 100 ms apart
- Drag click: one drag fires again and again, 20–40 ms apart
- Debounce longer than the gaps: several clicks merge into one
How to drag
Press the front of the button lightly and slide your fingertip back so it rubs the surface. One drag often fires 10 to 25 clicks.
Why it may not work
A mouse merges triggers that come too close together (debounce). If the debounce is longer than the gaps in a drag, several clicks merge into one. Some mice let you shorten it in their software.
Right button
The right button drags the same way: switch the test area to Right. Its bests are kept separate from the left button's.
How drags are counted
Example · 2 sA drag is 3 or more clicks with no pause longer than 60 ms. In this example each line is a click, the brackets mark the drags the result counts, and the gray click stands alone.

Can your mouse drag click?
The chart puts drag gaps and the mouse's own timings on one 0–100 ms scale. Drag clicks are only 20–40 ms apart, so switch debounce matters here, unlike in plain clicking.

A few msDebounce setting
Some mice let you set the debounce time in their software. A shorter one lets more of a drag's clicks through.
Finger and pressure
A finger that is too wet or too dry, or too little pressure, means less friction and fewer clicks.
Not a fault here
In drag mode gaps under 20 ms are not flagged. To check a switch that clicks twice on one press, use the double-click test.
FAQ
9 questionsWhat does a drag click test measure?
Clicks in each dragThis drag click test (or dragclick test) counts the clicks in each drag, the longest and average drag, the shortest gap between two clicks and the CPS of the whole round. Bests are kept per button and length in this browser.
What is drag clicking?
Friction fires the switchIn drag clicking you slide a finger down the button, and the friction fires the switch, often 10 to 25 times in one drag. It is common in Minecraft PvP.
How do I drag click?
Light pressure, slide backPut your fingertip on the front of the button, press lightly and slide it back so it rubs the surface. Try 5 or 10 second rounds here and watch the longest drag.
Why can't my mouse drag click?
Usually the debounceUse this page as a drag click mouse test. A mouse treats triggers that come very close together as one press (debounce), so a long debounce merges a drag's clicks. Some mice let you shorten it. A wet or dry finger, or too little pressure, also makes it hard.
What is a good drag click CPS?
Depends on the mouseWithin a drag the clicks are 20–40 ms apart, which is 25 to 50 a second. The CPS of a whole round is lower because of the pauses between drags, so the longest drag says more. Plain click speed has its own test. CPS test →
Can I drag click with the right button?
YesSwitch the test area to Right and drag down the right button. Left and right bests are kept separately.
Why are gaps under 20 ms not flagged here?
They are the pointOn the CPS test, a gap under 20 ms usually means a switch double-clicking. In a drag the button fires that fast on purpose, so this page counts it. Double-click faults have their own test. Double-click test →
Is drag clicking allowed?
Check the rulesSome servers and tournaments limit CPS or certain techniques. Follow the rules where you play.
Does drag clicking damage the mouse?
The switch wears fasterEvery click wears the switch a little, and each drag adds a lot of clicks. A worn switch starts to double-click on plain clicks: check it with the double-click test. Double-click test →
