People diagnosing keyboard faults or rollover limits
Worth noticing
The page warns that browser timestamps are coarsened and treats polling intervals as hints, not measurements.

Field notes

The tester exposes key codes, physical positions, repeat behavior, and an event log rather than returning a single pass/fail result. It also explains that some keys are intercepted by the operating system, and that on-screen mobile keyboards often report too little information for the board to light up. Browser timing is explicitly presented as approximate.
