APM Test - What is your APM? (Actions Per Minute Speed Test)

Actions Per Minute Speed Test

Actions per minute, abbreviated to APM, is a term used in video games, particularity real-time strategy and fighting games which refers to the total number of actions that a player can perform in a minute. Some professional game players can have a relatively high APM for like 300 and more!

We will test your APM through a simple game: Click on the numbers you see in descending order (from 50 to 1). Don’t worry, take your time to observe and get prepared. Time will be calculated the moment you click on the number for the first time.

Pro gamers’ Challenge

What is the APM Test?

APM stands for Actions Per Minute - the definitive benchmark for measuring the mechanical speed of competitive gamers. While CPS tests focus solely on clicking frequency, our APM test aggregates both mouse clicks and keyboard commands. This provides a high-fidelity reflection of a player’s operational density in high-pressure gaming environments.

The Science Behind the Score:

APM Score = (Effective Clicks ÷ Time [ms]) × 60,000 × 1.8 (Multi-input Scaling Factor)

🔍 Why the 1.8x Multiplier?
In high-level RTS and MOBA gameplay, efficiency is split between both hands. By analyzing thousands of StarCraft 1/Remastered pro replays, we determined that the optimal keyboard-to-mouse action ratio for elite players is approximately 0.8 : 1. We apply an 80% bonus to simulate the keyboard’s input, ensuring our data aligns with real-world professional performance.

The Origins: A Legacy of Precision

Launched on November 14, 2018, this test was built by and for veteran StarCraft players. We pioneered the "50-to-1 Countdown" logic to test rapid-fire precision. Unlike generic clones, our platform is engineered with professional gaming mechanics in mind:

  • The Golden Aspect Ratio: Our 5:3 rendering ratio is a tribute to esports history—perfectly bridging the gap between classic 4:3 displays and modern 16:9 monitors.
  • Calibrated Randomization: We’ve meticulously tuned our target displacement algorithms to mimic the unpredictable movement patterns of in-game units.
  • Platform Consistency: While mobile testing is available, using a mouse is strongly recommended. Due to the lack of physical travel distance on touchscreens, mobile scores typically see a 30% inflation compared to desktop results.

Evolution: Visualizing Performance

As the world’s #1 ranked APM tool, we are proud to serve millions of gamers globally. In 2026, we’ve moved beyond raw data to offer deeper insights.

2026 Major Update:
Our 8th-anniversary update introduces Vector Matrix Analysis. This feature maps your click trajectories into a real-time heatmap, helping you pinpoint mouse efficiency gaps and operational blind spots.
