All research, oscilloscope data, and hardware benchmarks on ClickTests.net are led by Siddeswar Chakraborty (Founder, Lead Hardware Tester & Frontend Developer). We conduct independent evaluations across mechanical, optical, and Hall Effect switches, 1000Hz–8000Hz polling sensors, and high-refresh displays. We do not accept sponsored tool tampering, do not host tracking spyware, and ensure all timing calculations remain open, reproducible, and mathematically transparent.
