Ready for a keyboard test

Click the capture area, type several individual keys, then hold a combination to check browser-visible rollover.

Operating-system shortcuts and some media/function keys can be intercepted before a web page receives them. Their absence here does not prove a hardware fault.

Distinguish a missed key from a reserved shortcut.

Web pages do not receive every operating-system key. Test ordinary letter and number keys before drawing conclusions from media or function keys.
