Keyboard test
Press keys to check that each one works. Supports Windows and Mac layouts and shows how many keys you hold at once and their key codes. Nothing is sent to the server.
Pressed keys are only shown on this page in your browser and are never sent or stored. Still, do not type passwords or other sensitive text here.

FAQ
- If a key shows nothing, is it broken?
- First check whether the same key works in another app (a text editor). If it fails everywhere, the switch or contact under the keycap is likely faulty. Laptop Fn combinations may not be visible to the web.
- Some keys do not light up when I press many at once.
- That is a limit of the keyboard circuit (ghosting / rollover). Office keyboards usually handle about 6 keys; gaming keyboards offer N-key rollover. Use "Most keys held at once" to measure yours.
- Does it work while typing in Korean?
- Yes. Keys are matched by physical position (code), not by the character, so the same key lights up whatever the input language.
- On Mac, other keys look released when I hold Cmd.
- Mac browsers often send no key-up for other keys while Cmd is held, so this tool clears the held state when you release Cmd.
