This keyboard tester detects key presses and releases in real-time across the full keyboard — function row, modifiers, arrows, navigation cluster and numeric keypad. Switch between the Windows and macOS layouts to match your hardware, then press any key to see it highlighted above. The Mac fn / Globe key is shown with a dashed outline because browsers cannot detect it.

How to Use:

  1. Pick the layout that matches your keyboard — Windows or macOS.
  2. Click 'Start Test' to begin keyboard testing.
  3. Press any keys on your physical keyboard.
  4. Watch the virtual keyboard highlight pressed keys in real-time.
  5. Monitor key press statistics and performance metrics.
  6. Check for stuck keys that remain pressed for too long.
  7. Review your typing speed and most frequently used keys.
  8. Click 'Stop Test' or 'Reset' when finished.

Understanding Keyboard Testing

Keyboard testing helps you evaluate your keyboard's responsiveness, detect mechanical issues, and identify typing patterns. This comprehensive keyboard test provides real-time feedback on key presses, measures typing performance, and can help diagnose keyboard problems before they become serious issues.

What This Test Measures

Key Responsiveness

Real-time detection of key presses and releases. Shows immediate keyboard feedback.

Press Statistics

Tracks total keys pressed, typing speed, and most frequently used keys.

Stuck Key Detection

Identifies keys that remain pressed for extended periods, indicating potential hardware issues.

Press Duration

Measures average time keys are held down, helping identify typing patterns and potential issues.

Common Keyboard Issues

This keyboard tester can help identify various keyboard problems:

  • Unresponsive or sticky keys that don't register properly.
  • Keys that get stuck in the pressed position.
  • Inconsistent key press detection.
  • Keys that register multiple times with single presses.
  • Delayed response times indicating hardware wear.
  • Keys that fail to release properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use our keyboard tester above. Start the test and press keys on your physical keyboard to see real-time feedback on the virtual keyboard layout.
Yes. Switch the layout toggle to macOS to see Mac keys like Command (⌘), Option (⌥), Control (⌃), the function row, and the numeric keypad. The fn / Globe key and some media keys are handled below the operating system, so browsers cannot detect them — this is a limitation of every web-based keyboard tester, not a fault with your keyboard.
Our keyboard tester checks key responsiveness, detects stuck keys, measures typing speed, tracks key press statistics, and identifies potential keyboard hardware issues.
All keys should respond immediately when pressed, show up on the virtual keyboard, and release properly. No keys should appear stuck or unresponsive during normal typing.
Try cleaning your keyboard, checking for debris under keys, or testing with compressed air. If the problem persists, the keyboard may need repair or replacement.
Some special keys or key combinations may not be detected by the browser. The Mac fn / Globe key, for example, never reaches the browser, and some shortcuts are captured by your operating system before the page sees them. This is normal and doesn't indicate a problem with your keyboard hardware.
Practice regularly, maintain proper posture, use all fingers, and consider learning touch typing. This keyboard tester can help you track your progress over time.
Average typing speeds range from 40-60 words per minute (WPM) for most people. Professional typists can reach 80-100+ WPM. Speed varies based on experience and keyboard quality.
Yes, this keyboard tester works with any standard keyboard including mechanical, membrane, laptop keyboards, and most gaming keyboards.

Keyboard Double-Click Test

Check your keyboard for unwanted double key presses and switch chatter — press each key and the tool times the gap, flags faulty fast repeats, ignores held-key auto-repeat, and logs every event per key.

Keyboard Latency Test

Measure your keyboard input lag and response time in the browser across three modes — visual lag, event timing, and key latency — with live processing lag, jitter, consistency, an effective event rate, and benchmark ratings.

Try it now

Keyboard Polling Rate Test

Measure your keyboard repeat rate in Hz — hold a key and the tool times how fast it auto-repeats, with repeat interval, initial delay, a live chart, and max and average rate.

Try it now

Keyboard Ghosting Test

Check your keyboard for ghosting and N-key rollover — hold several keys at once on an interactive on-screen keyboard that lights up every key that registers and tracks your max simultaneous-key count.

Try it now

Typing Speed Test

Measure your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) with live accuracy tracking, 15 to 120 second tests, and personal best saving.

Try it now

CPS Test

Measure your clicks per second (CPS) with a 1 to 100 second click speed test, tracking your average, max, and best CPS.
