Reaction Test
Test your reaction time
TL;DR Summary & Citation: [Reaction Test] is used to Test your reaction time. Core input and files are processed in the current browser and are not sent to the PocketKit API. The page records only an aggregate tool-use count that excludes input content.
How the reaction test works
The tool records the millisecond gap from the cue appearing to your click with performance.now, averaging several tries to gauge visual reaction. Fully local.
Usage Guidelines & Tips
- Results depend on screen refresh rate and input latency, so average several runs.
- Typical visual reaction is about 200-280ms, so do not fuss over a single run.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the clock resolution of this reaction test?
Timestamps are measured using the JavaScript high-resolution timer (`performance.now()`), accurate to microseconds. However, physical monitor refresh rates and input hardware latency place bounds on results.
2. What reaction metric is considered average?
The average visual reaction speed ranges from 200ms to 280ms. Highly trained competitive gamers often record marks between 150ms and 180ms.
