Frequently asked questions
What does the scroll test measure?
It counts wheel events in each direction over a fixed period and converts the total into scrolls per second. Free-spin wheels generate far more events than notched wheels.
How do I check for a faulty scroll wheel?
Scroll slowly in one direction only. If the counter registers events in the opposite direction, or stalls while the wheel keeps turning, the encoder is likely dirty or worn.
Why is my touchpad score so high?
Touchpads emit smooth high frequency scroll events rather than discrete notches, so counts are much higher than a physical wheel. Compare wheel with wheel and touchpad with touchpad.

About this scroll test
This is the 5 second scroll test — every score on the board comes from runs locked to the same window, so the ranking is a like-for-like fight. Five seconds is a pure sprint. Fatigue never gets a vote, so this board rewards raw top-end speed — it is the mode where personal records fall and where short, aggressive bursts beat steady pacing. As a benchmark, 30 scroll notches in 5 seconds works out to 6 SPS (Average pace), while the Very Fast tier needs around 80. Use light, quick wheel flicks and let the wheel reset between them instead of forcing one long drag.
