You can test your keyboard in just 3 simple steps with Rateon’s Keyboard Tester:
Go to the Keyboard Tester on Rateon. Press each key on your physical keyboard to see if it appears on the virtual keyboard. If all keys light up or respond, that means your keyboard is in perfect condition.
You may also want to try pressing multiple keys together to see if your keyboard supports multiple simultaneous key presses. Or feel free to click the reset arrow to empty results and test again for accuracy.
Everything is fine if the virtual keyboard responds immediately to your key presses. If it responds slowly or misses certain keys, then your keyboard could have a problem in need of checking or cleaning.
RateOn is an online tool used for keyboard key test, typing speed test, and polling rate check right from the browser — for free, securely, and in a simple way.
The polling rate is the rate at which your keyboard sends data to your computer every second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). With a high polling rate, the response is faster, and input delay decreases.
Typetester is a great tool for testing your typing speed and accuracy. It measures your words per minute and gives you real-time feedback for improving your typing skills.
No, RateOn works completely online. You just open the website and begin testing, No need to download and install anything.

In general typing or office work, 125–250 Hz will do just fine. For gamers or fast typists, 500–1000 Hz would be ideal for smoother, quicker response times.
A keyboard switch tester is a small device with different key switches used to feel and compare how mechanical switches sound and respond before buying a keyboard.
You can use a keyboard polling rate test tool like RateOn to check for input lag. It measures how fast your keyboard sends signals to your computer once a key is pressed.
Try online tools or accessibility checkers to test whether your keyboard supports shortcut keys, compatibility with screen readers, and ensures easy navigation for users with disabilities.
