Friction drag contacts

Drag Click Test

Drag clicking uses finger friction to make the switch bounce many times per stroke. This dial counts your press and every distinct contact while you drag.

How this one works

  1. i.

    Press, then slide

    Hold the button and drag your finger along it. Movement across the dial adds contacts, up to twenty per second.

  2. ii.

    Grip matters

    A slightly dry fingertip and a textured button surface give the most consistent drags.

  3. iii.

    Ranks are stricter

    Drag scores run high, so the ranks on this page are scaled up by 10 percent.

Questions

Why is my drag score capped?
Contacts are throttled to one every 50 ms and need a few pixels of movement, which keeps scores readable and filters jitter.
Does it work on a touchpad?
Yes, press and drag on the dial. Touchpads usually score lower than a mouse with a textured button.
