    How to use Keyboard Tester

    1. 1Press every key on your keyboard — pressed keys turn solid and tested keys stay highlighted
    2. 2Watch the progress bar to find keys that never light up (broken or stuck keys)
    3. 3Hold several keys at once to see how many your keyboard registers (rollover / ghosting), and check key names and codes for programming

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know if a key is broken?▾

    Press it: working keys light up immediately. If a key never lights up, or stays lit after you release it, it is not registering or is stuck.

    What is keyboard ghosting and rollover?▾

    Rollover is how many keys a keyboard can register at the same time. Cheaper keyboards often handle 2–6 keys; gaming keyboards support 'N-key rollover'. Ghosting is when extra key presses are dropped. Hold keys together and read 'Max at once'.

    Why don't some keys show up?▾

    The operating system reserves a few keys and shortcuts (like the Windows key combinations, Fn and media keys), so the browser never receives them.

    What is the difference between key and code?▾

    'key' is the character produced (it changes with Shift and keyboard language), while 'code' is the physical key position (like KeyA), which stays the same on any layout.
