Keyboard Test

Press every key to find dead, sticky or double-typing ones: ANSI, ISO and JIS layouts, Windows or Mac, rollover and chatter checks, with a key log.

Runs entirely in your browser - nothing you type is recorded or sent anywhere.

Press any key

Each key lights up blue while held and stays green once it works. Hold several at once to test rollover.

None so far. Tap keys normally - a worn switch shows up here.

Key log

Keys you press appear here.

Some keys never reach web pages, so they can't light up here: Fn, media and brightness keys, and keys the system keeps for itself (Print Screen on some systems, the Windows or ⌘ key in shortcuts). That doesn't mean they're broken.

This keyboard test shows every key on a drawing of your keyboard - ANSI, ISO or JIS, Windows or Mac, with or without a number pad - and lights it up the moment it's pressed. Keys that work turn green, so a dead key stands out at once. Hold several keys together to see how many your keyboard can register at the same time (rollover), and tap normally to catch chatter: a worn switch that types a letter twice. The legends follow your own layout where the browser shares it, and the key log shows each key's name, physical code and how long it was held.

Keyboard test FAQ

How do I test my keyboard?
Click on the page (not in a box) and press each key once. Every key that works turns green and the counter goes up; any key still grey after you've pressed it didn't reach the computer. Then hold several keys at once to test rollover, and type a sentence normally to check for double letters.
What is key rollover, 6KRO and NKRO?
Rollover is how many keys a keyboard can register at the same time. Cheap and laptop keyboards often manage only 2-4 in some combinations, so a key is lost when you press several together (ghosting). 6KRO is the classic limit of a USB keyboard - six keys plus modifiers - and NKRO (n-key rollover) means every key is seen however many you hold. Note that some keyboards switch to 6KRO in the BIOS or on a Mac.
What is key chatter?
Chatter is when one press is read as two - you type 'hello' and get 'helllo'. It happens when a switch's contacts bounce as it wears or gets dirty. This test flags a key when a second press arrives within 35 ms of letting go, faster than a finger can tap. Cleaning the switch, or replacing it on a hot-swap keyboard, usually fixes it; some keyboards also let you raise the debounce time in their software.
Why doesn't a key light up?
If an ordinary key stays grey, it isn't reaching the computer: check for debris under the keycap, try the keyboard on another USB port or computer, and update its driver or firmware. Some keys can't be seen by any web page - Fn, media and brightness keys, and keys the system uses (like Print Screen or the Windows key on some systems) - so they won't light up even when they work.
Is anything I type recorded?
No. The test runs in your browser and only keeps the keys' names to colour the drawing and fill the log. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere, and closing the page clears it.
