What Is a Good Reaction Time?

A good reaction time is anything under 255 ms — that beats 75% of people. Under 235 ms is excellent (top 10%). Under 190 ms is elite territory: pro gamers and racing drivers.

Context matters: 250 ms with a touchscreen is genuinely impressive; the same score on a 240 Hz monitor with a wired mouse is solid but improvable.
