Scroll Test Statistics
Every first attempt recorded on this test, split by input device. First attempts only, because practice moves the curve.
These curves are a fitted baseline plus 0 first attempts recorded here. The baseline is a curve, not a sample, so none of it is a real person and the counts below say so. Baseline is an estimate: centred on a plausible wheel notch rate, with trackpads faster because a flick is continuous. No published dataset was found for it. Per-device offsets are extrapolated, not measured. The baseline is dropped once a device class holds 5,000 real first attempts.

Percentile breakdown
Read a row as: to reach this percentile you need this score or better. The gap between the 50th and the 75th is usually far smaller than the gap between the 95th and the 99th, which is why small improvements move you a long way in the middle and almost nowhere at the top.
| Percentile | Mouse | Trackpad | Touchscreen |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 6.6 | 14.3 | 12.3 |
| 25th | 10.1 | 18.0 | 16.0 |
| 50th | 14.1 | 22.0 | 20.0 |
| 75th | 18.1 | 26.0 | 24.0 |
| 90th | 21.7 | 29.7 | 27.7 |
| 95th | 23.9 | 31.9 | 29.9 |
| 99th | 27.9 | 35.9 | 33.9 |
