Keyboard Test Utility

Keyboard Test Utility is a lightweight hardware health application that can help Windows OS users of all knowledge levels to quickly and easily test the health status of their keyboards. While many users can instantly detect any issue with their keyboard hardware, such as missing clicks, double or multiple signals on each keypress, or in very rare cases sending of wrong keypress signal, this app can help anyone to really troubleshoot the issue and clearly see if the fault is hardware or software-based.

The entire Keyboard Test Utility application is distributed online in a single EXE file that does not feature an installer. Simply download this portable file on any of your local storage devices (including portable USB sticks), run it, and the app will be up and running immediately. The entire user interface consists form a visual showcase of a standard keyboard layout, with the virtual buttons that will illuminate when users press on the keys of their keyboard. The small diagnostic screen on the bottom will showcase the digital command that the keyboard has sent to the PC.

To better serve the needs of users who may not have the default keyboard layout on their laptop or notebook, the app supports switching to the reduced button layouts. The supported layouts are ANSI, DP-72, and SL-91. In addition to that, the entire interface can be tweaked to showcase several colors of keyboards. Keyboard Test Desktop Tool also records the history of keypresses, which can be erased by clicking on the prominently featured “Reset” button.

The straightforward nature of this accessory diagnostic app can help users to very easily spot the location of faulty buttons. The app lacks any of the automated tests or in-depth configurations. It is simply intended to be used as a visual showcase of keyboard presses, and it does that job admirably well.

Keyboard Test Utility is 100 FREE, lightweight, fast, and can be used on all modern versions of Microsoft Windows OS. Enjoy!
