## How to use it
1. Choose your keyboard: Pick Mac or PC at the top of the page. For a PC keyboard, choose its size: 60%, 75%, TKL or 100%. For a Mac keyboard with a number pad, switch on Numpad.
2. Press every key: Each key lights up while it’s held down and keeps a glowing border once it has registered, so you can see at a glance what’s left to test.
3. Check the readout: The readout above the keyboard shows the name, code and keyCode of the last key you pressed, which is handy for checking a key sends what you expect.
4. Test rollover: Hold several keys at once. The held counter shows how many keys your keyboard reports together.
5. Finish the set: When the counter reaches the total, every key on your keyboard has been confirmed working.

## Keyboard sizes supported
- 100%: full size with number pad (104 keys)
- TKL: tenkeyless, no number pad (87 keys)
- 75%: compact with function row, arrows and a navigation column (usually 84 keys)
- 60%: no function row, arrows or navigation keys (61 keys)
- Mac: Magic Keyboard, with or without the numeric keypad

## Limitations
- Keys handled by the operating system or inside the keyboard can't be detected by any web page: fn/globe and Touch ID on Mac, Fn on PC keyboards, some media keys, and system shortcuts such as Cmd+Q or Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
- On a Mac, F1 to F12 are media keys by default; hold fn to test them.

## FAQ
- **Is the keyboard tester free?** Yes. It’s free to use, with nothing to sign up for or download.
- **Does it record what I type?** No. Everything happens in your browser. Your key presses aren’t saved or sent anywhere.
- **Does it work with a laptop keyboard?** Yes. Any keyboard connected to your computer works, including laptop keyboards. Choose Mac or PC to match yours and ignore any keys your keyboard doesn’t have.
- **What’s the difference between 60%, 75%, TKL and 100% keyboards?** They’re keyboard sizes. A 100% keyboard has every key, including the number pad. TKL (tenkeyless) drops the number pad. A 75% keyboard also squeezes the navigation keys into a column beside the main keys, and a 60% keyboard drops the function row, arrows and navigation keys, which you reach through a Fn layer instead.
- **Why don’t F1 to F12 light up on my Mac?** On a Mac the top row controls brightness, volume and media by default, and macOS handles those before a web page sees them. Hold fn while you press F1 to F12 to test them as function keys.
- **What is key rollover?** Rollover is how many keys a keyboard can register at the same time. Hold several keys down together and watch the held counter. Many gaming keyboards can register every key at once, which is called n-key rollover.
