Observation, not certification

Browsers and operating systems may reserve some keys. This tool observes available events without blocking shortcuts and does not certify rollover, latency, or hardware condition.

FAQs

Which keyboard layout is shown?

The visual reference uses a standard ANSI-style 104-key desktop layout with navigation keys and a numeric keypad.

Can it detect keys outside the visual layout?

Yes. The last-key details can show browser events even when no matching visual key exists.

Does the tester block browser shortcuts?

No. It observes keyboard events without preventing browser, operating-system, or accessibility shortcuts.

Why can some system keys not be detected?

The operating system or browser can reserve certain keys and shortcuts before a web page receives them.

Can I use an attached keyboard on a mobile device?

Yes. Start the test and press keys on an attached keyboard when the mobile browser exposes standard keyboard events.
