How to use
- Pick a session duration (15s, 30s, or 60s).
- Press Start.
- On the pad, press and hold (left button, as the on-screen hint says) and move in circles around the center dot; pointer tracking pauses if you release, so press again to keep spinning inside the countdown.
- When time expires, read spin count, total degrees, direction (clockwise vs counter-clockwise), and peak spins per second.
FAQ
Do I need to hold mouse button while spinning?
Yes. The test tracks motion while you hold and move around the center.
What does peak spins/sec represent?
It is the highest one-second rotational rate detected during your run.
Introduction
Mouse Spin Test benchmarks circular mouse control: hold the button and trace orbits around a center point while the tool counts rotations, total angle, direction, and peak spin rate.
Purpose
- Practice consistent circular micro-adjustments.
- Compare peak spins/sec between runs or two mice with the same radius and duration.
Key Features
- Timed circular motion around a center reticle with button held.
- Reports spin count, degrees, direction, and peak spins/sec.
Common Use Cases
- Skill challenges around circular aiming or menu-spin memes.
- Comparing rotational dexterity between mice or grip styles.
Best Practices
- Keep a consistent orbit radius; tiny circles inflate noise in the counter.
- If you release mid-run, press again within the timer — tracking resumes per pointer rules.
Comparison metrics
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total degrees / spin count | Volume of rotation in the timed window — higher with faster orbit at fixed duration. |
| Peak spins/s | Best one-second burst — highlights short-term rotational speed. |
| Direction | Clockwise vs counter-clockwise — useful if you alternate hand habits. |
