Run a timed APM benchmark with target grids or hotkey mode. The tool separates useful hits from spam, tracks accuracy and peak pace, saves recent tests locally, and shows your personal best for each mode and duration.
Mode benchmark
Choose a duration and mode, then hit only the highlighted targets. The score rewards useful actions per minute, while accuracy exposes spam clicks and wrong keys.
Click the highlighted target only.
3 x 3 is a speed drill. 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 add mouse precision. Keyboard mode measures hotkey rhythm.
APM Test is a free, browser-based actions-per-minute benchmark with 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and keyboard modes for RTS, MOBA, and esports training.
APM means actions per minute. In RTS, MOBA, and esports practice, it describes how many useful inputs you can perform in a minute. This upgraded APM test measures speed and accuracy together, so random spam does not look better than clean target hits. For a clean testing workflow, read the APM test guide.
The 3x3 grid is a pure speed drill. The 4x4 and 5x5 grids add mouse precision because the active target moves across more possible positions. Keyboard mode is for hotkey rhythm: define your key set, then press the highlighted key as quickly and cleanly as possible.
Each useful hit is timestamped with performance.now(). Live APM is projected from your recent hit pace, average APM is calculated from total useful hits divided by elapsed minutes, and accuracy is useful hits divided by total inputs. Misses, wrong keys, and wrong tiles remain visible so the score cannot hide spam.
Raw APM counts every input. Effective APM is closer to meaningful gameplay: correct hotkeys, useful commands, and accurate target selection. This tool emphasizes effective APM by counting the highlighted target as the useful action while still showing total inputs and misses.
League players should treat APM as a clean-input drill, not a ranked-skill score. For the MOBA-specific workflow, read the League of Legends actions per minute tracker guide, then test keyboard rhythm and mouse accuracy separately before combining them in Practice Tool. If you are organizing the practice around a new roster, guild or Discord group, you can also generate a team or community name with a short tag.
