How to use the Keyboard Test
- Press any key on your keyboard.
- Watch it appear as the last key pressed and added to the log below.
- Try every key you rely on, including modifiers and less-common keys.
Understanding your results
Keys are identified using a layout-independent code (for example, the physical "A" position registers the same way regardless of keyboard layout), while the label shown reflects what that key actually produces on your layout. If a key never appears no matter how many times you press it, your browser isn't receiving a signal for it.
About the Keyboard Test
This test listens directly for key press events in your browser. It's useful for spotting unresponsive keys, checking a new or secondhand keyboard, or confirming that a specific key combination is being read correctly by your system before relying on it in a game.
Tips to improve
- If a key doesn't register here, try it in a plain text editor too — some keys are intercepted by the operating system or other software before reaching the browser.
- Sticky or unresponsive keys are often a sign of dust or debris under the keycap and may benefit from cleaning.
Frequently asked questions
The label reflects the character your layout produces (which can change with Shift or a different input language), while the underlying key position stays the same.
No — it shows individual key events but doesn't specifically test how many simultaneous key presses your keyboard can register at once.
