Keyboard Test
Use this online keyboard test to check which key positions your browser receives. Start the checker and press physical keys to highlight them in the diagram, including letters, arrows, and numeric keypad keys.
CHECK THE KEYS YOUR BROWSER RECEIVES
Check Your Keyboard Keys
Choose Start Keyboard Check, then press keys on your physical keyboard. The diagram uses common US key positions; your printed key labels may differ.
Keep this area focused while checking keys. Tab or Escape leaves the test. Browser and system shortcuts may interrupt it.
No key received yet.
Ready for a physical keyboard. On-screen mobile keyboards may not send key-position events.
0 different key positions checked.
Keys are checked only while this test area is focused. This tool does not record typing elsewhere or upload key events.
Check a Key Position
- Choose Start Keyboard Check to focus the test.
- Press and release a physical key, then find its highlighted position.
- Use Clear Checked Keys to reset the diagram.
A filled key is currently pressed. A marked key has responded during this session. The diagram follows common US keyboard positions.
When a Key Does Not Highlight
- Check the keyboard connection and selected language layout.
- Try the key in another application.
- Remember that some system shortcuts never reach a web page.
Escape and Tab deliberately leave the test. A missing highlight alone does not prove hardware failure.
For repeated presses rather than key positions, try the spacebar counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I test my keyboard online?
Start Keyboard Check, press physical keys, and watch the diagram for their positions. The tool shows the key events your browser receives.
Why do some keys not work in an online keyboard test?
Your browser or operating system may reserve them before the page receives an event. Check the connection, layout, and response in another application before assuming the keyboard is faulty.
Can I test a phone keyboard?
Phone keyboards may send text without physical key-position events. Connect a hardware keyboard for this position-based checker; a missing highlight from an on-screen keyboard is not a fault diagnosis.
