Keyboard Timing & Keypress Interval Test
This browser tool measures the time between consecutive keypress events. It shows your tapping intervals and a rolling average. It does not measure the delay between physically pressing a switch and the computer receiving the input, and it cannot determine a keyboard's polling rate.
Your own tapping rhythm contributes most of the time between deliberate presses. Browser scheduling and system activity can affect when events are handled as well. A longer interval here is therefore not evidence of a slow or faulty keyboard, and a shorter interval is not a hardware performance rating.
Click Start, then press a key several times at a comfortable pace. Held-key repeats are ignored. The chart displays recent intervals; its colors group shorter and longer measurements without grading the keyboard. Stop and restart to collect a fresh set of readings. Use this as an event-timing demonstration, not a purchasing benchmark.
Run the test
Click Start, then press any key repeatedly at a steady pace.

Can a browser test measure keyboard latency?
Not with this interval measurement. Isolating physical input latency requires a method that can observe the physical press and the resulting response. To investigate a key that does not register, use the keyboard tester and check the device connection separately.
