What is a good reaction time?
The average human visual reaction time is around 200 to 250 milliseconds. That is the time it takes your eyes to see a change, your brain to process it and your finger to click. Trained FPS players usually land between 180 and 220 ms, while a casual player sits closer to 250 to 300 ms. Anything under 150 ms means you anticipated the signal instead of reacting to it, so it does not count as a real score.
Why it matters in Valorant, CS2 and Fortnite
In a duel, the player who reacts first often wins before aim even comes into play. Reaction time decides who lands the first shot on a peek, how fast you flick to a sudden angle and how quickly you swap targets in a team fight. It will not replace crosshair placement or game sense, but a slow reaction is a real ceiling on your mechanical level.
How to improve your reaction time
Most of your score comes from things you control off the server. Sleep and hydration have a bigger impact than any warm-up. A short warm-up before you queue wakes up your reflexes. Your setup matters too: a high refresh rate monitor and low input lag can shave real milliseconds off your result. Test yourself a few times a week, track your average rather than your single best, and you will see progress over a season.

Questions players ask
What is a good reaction time for gaming?
Around 200 to 250 ms is the human average on a visual signal. Trained FPS players usually land between 180 and 220 ms, casual players closer to 250 to 300 ms. A result under 150 ms means you anticipated the signal rather than reacted to it, so it does not count as a real score.
How does this reaction time test work?
Click to start, then click or press Space the instant the screen turns green, five times in a row. You get your last, best and average time in milliseconds. Judge yourself on the average: a single lucky trial says nothing.
Does my monitor or mouse change the result?
Yes, by a few milliseconds. A high refresh rate monitor and low input lag show the change sooner and register the click faster. Sleep, hydration and a short warm-up before you queue matter more than any piece of gear.
Is the reaction test free, and do I need an account?
It is free, runs entirely in your browser and never asks for an account or a download. Test yourself a few times a week and track your average over a season rather than a single best.
