How the scroll speed test works

  • Pick a length: 5, 10 or 30 seconds.
  • Spin the wheel inside the box. The timer starts on the first tick.
  • Your score is wheel ticks per second, with total ticks, distance and a speed graph.

What counts as a tick?

Every wheel event your browser receives is one tick. On a notched wheel that is roughly one per step you feel. Touchpads, free-spinning wheels and smooth-scrolling software send many more, so only compare results from the same mouse and settings.

Check your scroll wheel

Scroll slowly in one direction and watch the Up and Down counters. If the wrong one goes up now and then, the wheel encoder is dirty or worn. Compressed air around the wheel often helps.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good scroll speed?

There is no standard, because the result depends so much on the type of wheel. Compare your own scores on the same mouse to track your progress.

Why does my touchpad score so high?

Touchpads send a stream of tiny scroll events instead of one per step, and each event counts as a tick.

Will the page scroll during the test?

No. While a test is running the page stays put, so you can spin as hard as you like.

Can I take the test on a phone?

Yes. Each swipe in the box counts as one tick, so phone scores are not comparable with a mouse wheel.
