Use the distribution, sample count and dropouts together; a single peak is not the result.
Mouse Click Response Test
Run seven randomized target rounds with false-start detection and robust response-time statistics.
Clicks feel slow or inconsistent during fast target selection and reaction tasks.
This focused entry uses the shared Mouse protocol. The measurement logic and Evidence version remain identical to the complete lab.
Remove the easiest false alarms first.
Use a desktop browser, keep the tab visible and close high-load tabs.
Move continuously on a stable surface; do not compare a slow trace with a fast trace.
Keep the same browser, Pointer API and connection path for repeat comparisons.
Run one repeatable protocol.
- 01
Start the challenge and wait without clicking during the randomized delay.
- 02
Click each target as soon as it appears for seven valid rounds.
- 03
Compare best, median, P95 response, P95 jitter and false starts.
Evidence the result should expose.
Separate observed, review and inconclusive.
Repeat under the same motion and load, then compare wired, direct USB and wireless paths one variable at a time.
Browser event rate, click response and pointer capture cannot isolate USB report rate or device-only latency.
Start with the likely path, then retest.
