Reaction time benchmarks
| Average | Tier | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| < 180 ms | Superhuman | Exceptional, or you are anticipating |
| 180–210 ms | Pro-level | Typical of trained esports players |
| 210–240 ms | Elite | Very fast |
| 240–280 ms | Above average | Better than most people |
| 280–330 ms | Average | Normal human range |
| > 330 ms | Warming up | Check your setup, sleep and focus |
How to get a faster score
- Use a wired mouse and the highest refresh rate your monitor supports.
- Close heavy browser tabs. Background load adds jitter.
- Rest your finger lightly on the button, and focus on the centre of the box rather than the edges.
- Warm up with 2 minutes of Reflex mode.
FAQ
What is a good reaction time?
For a visual click test the average human score is roughly 250–280 ms. Under 200 ms is excellent and typical of trained competitive players; under 150 ms usually means you anticipated the signal.
Why is my score different on another device?
Monitor refresh rate, input lag, mouse polling rate and browser load all add milliseconds. A 60 Hz screen can add up to ~16 ms compared with 240 Hz.
Can I improve my reaction time?
Partly. Sleep, warm-ups, caffeine timing and hardware improvements help, and practice reduces decision time in games. Pure visual reaction has a biological floor around 100–150 ms.
