[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:spacebarCounter":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"The Giggleus Spacebar Counter counts how many times you press the spacebar in a fixed 5-second window and turns that into KPS, key presses per second: total presses divided by 5, shown to two decimals. The timer starts on your first press, so reaction time is left out. Only real presses count. Holding the key down adds nothing, because the automatic key repeat is ignored, and mouse clicks on the pad are not counted either; for clicking speed, try the CPS test. Phones and tablets have no spacebar, so on a touchscreen you tap the pad instead, and every finger that lands on it counts.\n\nEvery result gets a tier: Spacebar Destroyer at 9 KPS or more, Thumb Machine Gun from 7, Rapid Tapper from 5.5, Steady Presser from 4 and Warming Up below that. Alternating two fingers on the bar is usually faster than drumming with one, since each finger gets a moment to reset. Your best score goes on the global leaderboard, and a challenge link lets a friend try to beat it under the same rules.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Spacebar Counter | Spacebar Speed Test in 5 Seconds - Giggleus","Hit the spacebar as fast as you can for 5 seconds and get your presses per second (KPS).

Mouse clicks on the pad are not counted either.",{"question":16,"answer":17},"What KPS do I need for the top rank?","9 KPS, which is 45 presses in 5 seconds, earns Spacebar Destroyer. Thumb Machine Gun starts at 7 KPS, Rapid Tapper at 5.5 and Steady Presser at 4.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"Can I use the spacebar counter on a phone?","Yes. On a touchscreen you tap the pad instead of a spacebar, and each finger that touches it counts as one press."]
