What is the spacebar speed test?
The spacebar speed test counts how many times you can press the space bar in a set time. It's the keyboard cousin of the click test — popular for games where jumping or an action is bound to space, and just for settling who can mash fastest.
How to press the spacebar faster
Use both thumbs alternately, or the side of your hand for a rapid tremor. Keep your wrist relaxed and let your thumbs bounce off the key rather than pushing down hard. As with clicking, short warm-up runs help.
The average score in this mode is around 5.7 CPS. Beat it, then try to break your own best.
