Count spacebar presses per second in real time. Popular in gaming communities and useful for testing keyboard responsiveness.

How it works

We listen for keydown events on the spacebar and track their timestamps. Live speed is the number of presses in the most recent 1-second window.

Key features

  • Live press counter
  • Average and last-second speed

  • Reset button
