What is Reaction Time?
Reaction time is the interval between a sensory stimulus (like a color change) and your motor response (clicking). This test measures visual reaction time — how quickly your eyes detect the green color and your brain sends a signal to your finger.
The average human visual reaction time is 200–250 milliseconds. Competitive gamers in FPS games like CS2, Valorant, and Apex Legends typically achieve 150–200ms, giving them a significant in-game advantage.
Tips to Improve Reaction Time:
- •Practice daily: Regular reaction tests build neural pathways
- •Sleep well: Fatigue increases reaction time by 20-50ms
- •Stay hydrated: Dehydration slows neural signaling
- •Exercise: Physical fitness improves neural processing
- •Low monitor latency: High refresh rate monitors reduce input lag
Frequently Asked Questions
The average human reaction time is 200-250ms. Under 200ms is considered good. Professional gamers average 150-180ms. Under 150ms is exceptional and rare.
The first reaction is always slower due to the "warm-up" effect. Your brain and nervous system need a moment to calibrate. We recommend taking 5+ tests and using the average for an accurate measurement.
Yes. On a 60Hz monitor, frame rendering adds ~16ms latency. A 144Hz monitor reduces this to ~7ms, and 240Hz to ~4ms. For accurate testing, use your typical gaming setup. The test accounts for JavaScript event timing, not display latency.
