Mouse Speed & Acceleration Test · At a glance
Quick answer: Compare cursor speed and distance while moving your mouse. Speed is cursor distance per elapsed time in CSS pixels.

The test loads when you open it. Device access is requested only after you choose to start.
Detailed guide
How to use this tool
- Trace slow and fast strokes over the same on-screen distance.
- Keep display scaling and mouse settings fixed.
Input
Movement inside the test surface
Browser requirement
Pointer coordinates after OS transforms

How it works and what the result means
Coordinates are CSS pixels after operating-system pointer settings. Speed is browser-visible cursor speed. They do not directly expose raw sensor counts, DPI, physical acceleration or lift-off distance.
Reading the result
Speed is cursor distance per elapsed time in CSS pixels. It reflects the transformed pointer path and does not directly measure sensor acceleration.
What to check next
Avoid comparing across different zoom or monitor scaling. A browser may combine samples during fast movement.
For drift, leave the mouse still. For jitter, draw a slow straight line. For lift-off testing, add measured spacers yourself and observe when movement stops being reported.
Frequently asked questions
Can this determine raw mouse acceleration?
No. Cursor movement has already passed through operating-system settings. A raw-input instrument and measured physical motion are needed to isolate acceleration.
How do I start the Mouse Speed & Acceleration Test?
Start the tracker and move the cursor inside the test surface. Use the trace and distance statistics to compare different movements.
Does this tool require a download or an account?
No. Open the interactive tool above in a modern browser. The instructions and explanations are available even with JavaScript disabled; running a test needs JavaScript.
Why can two attempts give different results?
Power settings, background tasks, browser scheduling, operating-system input processing and device settings affect measurements. Compare repeated attempts with identical settings rather than the single highest score.
