2 Second Spacebar Counter
Two seconds smooths out the luck of the first press while staying short enough to run dozens of attempts back to back. Great for warming up before a longer test.

How to approach the 2 second counter
Two seconds forgives a slow first press but nothing else. The trick is to be at full tempo immediately and treat the whole window as one continuous drum roll — there's no time for a mid-run correction. It's the ideal duration for comparing techniques: run five attempts with one thumb, five alternating two, and the better average settles the argument. Expect 5 to 8 presses per second, with double digits marking a serious pair of thumbs.
