Questions

FAQ

What is a good reaction time?

Around 200–250 milliseconds is typical for adults. Under 200 ms is fast; under 180 ms is exceptional.

Does this test measure gaming skill?

It measures simple visual reaction time, one component of aim and reflexes. It is not a full skill test.

Why do I get different scores?

Sleep, caffeine, screen refresh rate, input lag, and practice all affect the result. Test a few times.
