Field notes
The homepage organizes diagnostics both by hardware category and by symptom, linking each fault to a concrete check rather than a generic troubleshooting article. Examples include finding a keyboard’s rollover limit, counting mouse scroll events, measuring controller drift across 180 samples, and checking a monitor’s actual refresh rate. Model pages add component-level context, including switch types and known chatter behaviour for named mice.
