WhatPulse is a small program that runs in the background of your computer and keeps track of how many keys you've typed, how far you've moved your mouse, and how many types you've pressed in your mouse button. Joining the computerhope.com team allows you to compete with other forum members as well as with other teams on the Internet. Additionally this utility is a great way to see other interesting stats for yourself such as what keys you use the most.

A download to this application (for PC/Mac/Linux) and additional information found at: http://whatpulse.org
