DeviceCheck’s Keyboard Tester Knows What Your Keyboard Is Doing
A browser-based tester for dead, stuck, chattering, ghosting, rollover, repeat, and key-timing problems.
Field notes
The tester offers several keyboard layouts, including ANSI, ISO, 60% compact, and tenkeyless configurations, then records event-level details such as physical code, location, modifiers, repeat state, and keyCode. A separate rollover test counts simultaneously reported keys, while the timing section flags same-key presses arriving within 40 milliseconds as possible chatter. The page distinguishes these browser-observable behaviors from switch latency, which it says cannot be measured reliably here.
