A PLACE FOR EVERY KEY
Online keyboard checker for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro
Checking a second-hand Mac or a key that sometimes misses a letter? Work across the keyboard one row at a time. The live map keeps tested keys marked, so you can see what you have checked and what still needs a press.
- See the difference between a key held now and one already tested.
- Compare the physical key code with the character your input source produces.
FIND YOUR FAMILIAR LAYOUT
Test Magic Keyboard on Mac with ANSI, ISO and JIS layouts
A tall Return key, an extra key beside Shift, or a Japanese spacebar: small layout differences matter. Choose from nine MacBook, compact Magic Keyboard and full-size Apple keyboard layouts to bring the visual test closer to the keyboard on your desk.
- Check built-in, USB and Bluetooth keyboards in the same browser test.
- Use Key details when a printed key label and its typed character differ.
ONE PRESS OR TWO?
Check Mac keyboard double typing and key repeat delay
An extra character after a quick tap needs a different check from a letter that repeats while held. Use the chatter test for separate presses close together, then measure the initial delay and steady repeat rhythm with the key repeat test.
- Review short press intervals as clues to investigate, with an adjustable threshold.
- Compare repeat sessions after changing your Mac’s keyboard settings.
BETTER TOGETHER
Test Command, Option and simultaneous key presses on Mac
A single key can work while a combination behaves differently. Check left and right modifiers separately, then hold a few keys together. The rollover test shows which keys reach this browser at the same time and records your session’s highest count.
- Watch Command, Option, Control and Shift states as you press and release.
- Start with simple combinations; macOS may intercept system shortcuts.
FROM CHECKING TO TYPING
English and Chinese typing speed test for Mac keyboards
Once the keys feel right, try a short typing session. Practice an English passage or switch to Chinese and type with your usual input method. Read speed and accuracy together to understand your typing pace without losing sight of mistakes.
- Track English WPM and correct Chinese characters per minute (CPM).
- Chinese practice supports committed text from an IME; test text stays in this tab.
Feels right at home.
Familiar Mac layouts, left and right modifiers, and a place for every testable key.
Honest about every signal.
Clear results and clear limits. We tell you what your browser sees, and what it can’t.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Mac keyboard test, explained.
About the test, your keyboard, and that one key that won’t light up.
More answersHow do I check if every key on my Mac works?+
Open the tester, select the closest layout and press each physical key once. Look for unmarked keys and compare the event log. Repeat any unexpected result in a text editor and, when possible, with another keyboard.
Does this work with a MacBook or Bluetooth Magic Keyboard?+
Yes, when your browser receives keyboard input. Built-in, USB and Bluetooth keyboards use the same browser event interface; connection problems can affect what arrives.
Why do Fn, brightness or volume keys not light up?+
macOS often handles those keys directly. Depending on your settings, try holding Fn / Globe with a function key. A missing browser event by itself does not mean the key is broken.
Is my typing saved or sent anywhere?+
Key events are processed in this browser tab. Session results stay in memory unless you choose to download them. Display preferences may be saved in your browser.

Mac keyboard not working: how to check missing or stuck keys
Start with a repeatable symptom. A careful comparison across keys, applications and connections is more useful than one unexpected result.
