Frequently Asked Questions
What is a keyboard key test used for?
A keyboard test is used to quickly identify keys that are not working or responding with a delay. It is especially useful for checking a newly purchased keyboard, investigating a suspected faulty key, or testing the keyboard after cleaning.
How can I tell if a keyboard key is not working?
If the key you press does not appear as active on the screen during the test, it may not be detected. This can be caused by dirt, a faulty switch, a connection problem, or a software issue.

Does the keyboard test work on mobile devices?
The page can be opened on mobile devices, but the most accurate results are obtained on a desktop or laptop using a physical keyboard. Limited testing may also be possible on some mobile devices connected to an external keyboard.
Why do some keys behave differently in the browser?
Some special keys may behave differently because of the browser, operating system, keyboard layout, or security restrictions. Detection may be limited for certain keys, particularly Print Screen.
