Spacebar Counter

How the Spacebar Counter Works

The spacebar counter counts how many times you press the space bar in the time you pick, then works out your presses per second. Pick 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds, then press Space to start. You don’t need to click anything first.

Only real presses count. If you hold the key down, your computer repeats it automatically, and the counter ignores those repeats. On a phone or tablet without a keyboard, tap the blue box instead.

What’s a Good Spacebar Speed?

How to Press the Space Bar Faster

• Use both thumbs. Alternate left and right thumbs, the way butterfly clicking uses two fingers. It’s the biggest single jump in speed.
• Tap the middle of the key. The ends of a space bar can wobble or stick on some keyboards.
• Keep your wrists low. Rest them on the desk or a wrist rest and move only your thumbs.
• Check your keyboard. Mechanical keyboards with light switches usually score higher than laptop keyboards.

Automate the Space Bar

Need the space bar pressed over and over, for jumping in a game or anything else? IO Auto Clicker’s Record & Playback can do it. Turn on Keyboard recording, press F3 and tap Space a few times, then stop the recording and press F4 to play it back, on a loop if you like. People use it for jumping in Roblox or Minecraft AFK spots. Check each game’s rules first.

You can test the result right here: start the playback over this page and the counter will measure it.
