What's your reaction time?

I am 38yo old now, still lightning fast reaction time. Even had a couple 160ish and one 150ish in, but average is 170.

Will do this every couple years until I am dead or this site dies. To see my progress over the years.

I'm pretty much the same, seem to average around 170ms.

Actually going to try again tomorrow when I'm not braindead though...

166 was my best in couple of tries. Had few beers and few shots in last 2 hours. Might try it tomorrow just to see if there's a difference

It's definitely faster direct from my laptop

I got an average 178 after like 5 to 10 mins. My best was 118 (without doing jumping the gun bullshit)

I used a 60hz screen for the test, which can add up to 16ms of reaction time since the screen refreshes only 60 times per second. I did the test on a 144hz screen and got consistent 160ms there. screen refresh-rate matters A LOT in reaction time tests. So, use the highest possible Hz screen you can find! :D

Edit: I actually posted the technical stuff years ago:

    60Hz monitor: 16.67ms
    144Hz monitor: 6.94ms
    240Hz monitor: 4.17ms
    360Hz monitor: 2.78ms


Basically, if you did the test on 60Hz you can simply remove ~10ms from your result on average. And maybe another 1-2ms from the mouse signal if you have a crappy one since they also have a polling rate (similar to Hz). Mine has 1000Hz polling, so it should be near 0ms. (but not 0)

214ms average, 68ms peak, with music xD
230-260ms 9 years later.

I'm consistently 250
That was on my phone touchpad, now 190-200 range
240hz monitor w/1000 polling mouse

It's surprising it makes such a difference, maybe my roping would get faster if I played on an actually high refresh rate monitor? Although my playing usually suffers when I switch from my 20 year old clunker

im guessing the actuation of a mouse vs whatever the latency of a touchpad on iPhone is made the difference, monitor is probably not that much, 10-15 ms maybe as referenced by Anubis earlier in this thread
