Key Performance Factors
📐
Fitts's LawMovement time increases with distance and decreases with target size: MT = a + b·log₂(2D/W). Larger, closer targets are always faster.
🖱️
Equipment Matters1000Hz polling rate wired mice register in 1ms vs 8–15ms for Bluetooth. High DPI enables finer granularity for precision tasks.
🔄
Speed-Accuracy Trade-OffRushing increases error rate exponentially. The optimal balance is ~85–95% accuracy for most aiming and clicking tasks.
🏋️
Warm-Up & FatigueAiming improves 10–20% after 5–10 minutes warm-up. Sustained clicking declines ~20% over 10 seconds due to muscle fatigue.
About These Benchmarks
Population distribution data is derived from CogniArena's aggregated user results for the primary test in this category. Age and professional benchmarks are sourced from published peer-reviewed research. Your percentile ranking shows how your score compares to all CogniArena users — a higher percentile means you outperformed more people. Benchmarks are updated regularly as new data is collected.
