Press any key to test it. Keys held for more than 3 seconds will be flagged as stuck.

How Does the Keyboard Tester Work?

  1. Click on the tool area to focus it, then press any key on your keyboard.
  2. Each key lights up when pressed and stays highlighted after you release it.
  3. Press multiple keys simultaneously to test key rollover and ghosting.
  4. Keys held for more than 3 seconds are flagged as potentially stuck.
  5. The counter shows how many unique keys you have tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is key rollover?
Key rollover refers to how many keys a keyboard can register simultaneously. N-key rollover (NKRO) means every key can be pressed at once. Budget keyboards may only support 2-key or 6-key rollover.
What is key ghosting?
Key ghosting occurs when a key press is not detected because other keys are already held down. It is a hardware limitation of the keyboard's key matrix, not a software issue.
Why isn't my key being detected?
Some keys (like the Windows/Super key or certain function keys) may be intercepted by your operating system before reaching the browser. This is normal and not a keyboard defect.
Can this test detect mechanical switch issues?
This tool can detect keys that don't register or appear stuck, which may indicate switch problems. However, it cannot diagnose specific switch issues like chattering. For that, a dedicated switch tester is needed.
