⚡ Mouse Speed & Acceleration Test

Measure your mouse movement speed and acceleration in real-time

Analyze velocity, acceleration, and movement patterns

🚀

Speed (Velocity)

How fast your cursor moves across the screen (pixels per second)

📈

Acceleration

The rate of change in velocity (how quickly speed increases or decreases)

🎯

Control

Smooth, controlled movements indicate good mouse control and consistency

Understanding Speed & Acceleration

🚀 Mouse Speed (Velocity)

Mouse speed measures how fast your cursor moves across the screen, typically measured in pixels per second (px/s). Factors affecting speed:

  • DPI Setting: Higher DPI = faster cursor movement for same physical motion
  • OS Sensitivity: System mouse sensitivity multiplier
  • Physical Speed: How fast you physically move the mouse
  • Surface: Mousepad texture affects friction and control

📈 Mouse Acceleration

Acceleration measures how quickly your mouse speed changes. High acceleration indicates rapid direction changes or speed variations:

  • Positive Acceleration: Cursor is speeding up
  • Negative Acceleration: Cursor is slowing down
  • High Values: Flick shots, rapid direction changes
  • Low Values: Smooth tracking, controlled movements

🎮 Gaming Applications

FPS Games:
  • • High speed flicks for quick reactions
  • • Controlled tracking for aiming
  • • Balance between speed and precision
MOBA/RTS:
  • • Consistent moderate speeds
  • • Frequent acceleration for map navigation
  • • Quick micro-movements for precision

💡 Improvement Tips

  • Practice smooth, controlled movements to reduce erratic acceleration
  • Find the right DPI/sensitivity balance for your playstyle
  • Use aim training tools to improve consistency
  • Disable mouse acceleration in OS settings for predictable behavior
  • Use a quality mousepad for consistent friction
  • Maintain proper posture and arm position

🔧 Testing Tips

  • Slow Tracking: Move mouse slowly in circles to test control at low speeds
  • Fast Flicks: Make quick left-right movements to test peak speed
  • Figure-8: Draw figure-8 patterns to test smooth directional changes
  • Straight Lines: Move in straight lines to test stability

Note: These measurements are relative to your screen resolution and current mouse settings. For competitive gaming, focus on consistency rather than achieving the highest numbers. Smooth, controlled movements are generally more valuable than raw speed.
