1 Second Spacebar Counter
One second of pure burst — there's no pacing here, just how fast your finger physically moves. Run it a few times and keep your best; a slow first press costs you most of the window.
Press Space to start
The timer begins on your first press. We listen anywhere on the page — no need to click here first.
How to approach the 1 second counter
With only one second on the clock, the press that starts the timer is a third of a typical score, so begin with your finger already resting feather-light on the key. Two-thumb alternation is the fastest technique at this length — most people land 6 to 9 presses, and 11 or more is exceptional. Run it in batches of ten and keep your best; single attempts at this duration are mostly luck.
