How This Keyboard Tester Works
This tool helps you check if every key on your keyboard is working properly. Whether you just bought a new mechanical keyboard, spilled coffee on your laptop, or want to test your gaming keyboard's response time - we've got you covered.
Getting Started is Super Easy
- Pick your keyboard type: Choose from the dropdown - we support everything from full-size Windows keyboards to compact Mac layouts
- Start typing: Just press any key and watch it light up green on the virtual keyboard
- Check for problems: Keys that stay red might be stuck, keys that don't light up might be broken
- Test special keys: Don't forget to test Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Function keys, and that numpad if you have one
- Export your results: Click "Export Results" to save your test data as a JSON file
Different Keyboard Layouts We Support

- Bouncing keys: Keys that register multiple times with one press
- Slow response: Keys with noticeable delay
- Ghost keys: Unwanted key presses when multiple keys are held
Pro Tips for Testing
For mechanical keyboards: Test each switch thoroughly - press straight down, not at an angle. Some switches can be picky about actuation.
For laptop keyboards: Press firmly but not too hard. Butterfly and scissor switches can be delicate.
For gaming keyboards: Test your WASD keys extra carefully, and check N-key rollover by pressing multiple keys at once.
Troubleshooting Issues
- Keys not registering: Make sure the browser window is focused. Click inside the test area.
- Wrong layout showing: Switch to the correct layout in settings. Mac and Windows have different key positions.
- Special keys not working: Some keys like Print Screen or system keys might be captured by your OS.
- Function keys opening browser menus: Try using full-screen mode (F11) for complete testing.
Why Test Your Keyboard?
Regular testing helps catch problems early. If you're buying a used keyboard, test it first. Gamers should test before tournaments. Writers and coders - test those heavily-used keys regularly. And if you just cleaned your keyboard, definitely test it before that important meeting!
Note: This tool tests keyboard functionality at the browser level. Some system-level issues might not be detected. For hardware diagnostics, consider manufacturer testing tools too.
