Start Scrolling
Scroll your mouse wheel inside the test area. The tool automatically detects each scroll notch, measuring your speed, direction, and total distance in real-time.
Review Results
When you finish, you'll see detailed metrics including total scroll count, average speed, maximum speed, and a consistency score. Share your results with friends!
Understanding Your Results
Your scroll test results provide valuable insights into how your mouse scroll wheel performs. Here's what each metric means:
Scroll Count
The total number of scroll wheel notches detected. Higher counts indicate more scrolling activity during your test session.
Average Speed
Measured in notches per second. A typical user scrolls at 10-20 notches/sec, while power users and gamers often achieve 30-50+ notches/sec.
Max Speed
Your peak scrolling speed during the test. This shows your maximum scrolling capability and is useful for comparing different mice.
Consistency Score
Measures how evenly you scroll. A high score (80%+) indicates smooth, consistent scrolling, while lower scores suggest variable scroll wheel input.

Tips for Better Scroll Performance
Optimize your scrolling experience with these helpful tips.
Adjust Scroll Settings
Most operating systems let you customize scroll speed and acceleration. Experiment with different settings to find what works best for you.
Keep It Clean
Dust and debris can affect scroll wheel performance. Regularly clean your mouse scroll wheel with compressed air or a soft brush.
Consider an Upgrade
Gaming mice often feature superior scroll wheels with more precise notches and smoother action. Some even offer free-spinning modes.
Proper Hand Position
Position your finger on the scroll wheel comfortably. A relaxed grip allows for smoother, more consistent scrolling.
Practice Consistency
For tasks requiring precision, practice scrolling at a steady pace. Consistent scrolling is often more valuable than raw speed.
Test Different Mice
Use this tool to compare different mice before purchasing. Scroll feel varies significantly between models and brands.

A scroll test is a tool that measures how your mouse scroll wheel performs. It tracks metrics like scroll speed (how fast you can scroll), scroll count (number of scroll notches), and consistency (how evenly you scroll). This helps you understand your scroll wheel behavior and can be useful for gaming, productivity optimization, or troubleshooting mouse issues.
Testing your scroll wheel can help you identify issues like inconsistent scrolling, detect scroll wheel problems before they become serious, optimize your scroll settings for gaming or work, compare different mice before making a purchase decision, or simply satisfy your curiosity about your scrolling performance.
Scroll speed varies based on your mouse and personal scrolling style. Generally, 15-30 notches per second is considered moderate speed, while 30+ is fast. Gamers often achieve 40-60+ notches per second during intense scrolling. The most important factor is consistency rather than raw speed.
Yes! This scroll test works with trackpads, touchpads, and touch-enabled devices. However, results may differ from traditional mouse scroll wheels since trackpads use smooth scrolling rather than notched scrolling. The test will still measure your scroll events and speed.
To improve scroll speed: 1) Adjust your mouse's scroll sensitivity in system settings, 2) Clean your scroll wheel if it feels sticky, 3) Consider a gaming mouse with a free-spinning scroll wheel, 4) Practice consistent scrolling motions. Remember that comfort and control are often more important than raw speed.
