Hand-Eye Coordination Test
Targets flare across the field in three sizes — click each dead-center, fast. Small and far targets are worth more; misses cost 250 ms. Your score is throughput: difficulty landed per second, the standard pointing-task metric.

What's a good score?
4.4+ bits/s — Exceptional pointing throughput.
3.5–4.4 — Sharp — practiced mouse users.
2.8–3.5 — Typical for a first run.
< 2.8 — Usually pacing, fatigue, or an unfamiliar mouse — not a verdict.
What this test measures
This is a Fitts-law pointing task: the tradeoff between how fast you move and how precisely you land is one of the oldest, most reliable measurements in human performance research. Throughput (bits per second) captures both at once, so spamming fast misses doesn’t inflate your score.
It’s the closest lab cousin of clicking a moving champion mid-fight — raw motor precision under time pressure.
Questions players ask
What does a hand-eye coordination test measure?
The coupling between visual targeting and motor output — how quickly and precisely your hand lands where your eyes point. This version uses target size and distance to compute throughput, the standard lab metric.
Does mouse sensitivity affect my score?
Yes — an unfamiliar sensitivity or surface costs real throughput. Test on your normal setup and compare against your own history, not other people’s hardware.
How do I improve hand-eye coordination for gaming?
Regular short pointing practice improves throughput on these tasks, and rested play protects it. Track your trend over sessions rather than judging one attempt.
