Keyboard and Mouse Tester
Verify 104-key actuation, benchmark simultaneous N-Key Rollover (NKRO), and test mouse button matrix inputs.

N-Key Rollover (NKRO)
Unlimited InputsNKRO ensures that every single key pressed simultaneously is registered by the OS without key blocking or missing inputs.
Matrix Ghosting
Circuit LimitationGhosting occurs on membrane keyboards when pressing multiple keys on a shared grid causes an unpressed adjacent key to register falsely.
USB 6KRO Limit
Legacy USB SpecThe standard USB Human Interface Device (HID) boot protocol only supports 6 simultaneous alphanumeric keys plus modifier keys. Modern gaming keyboards bypass this by emulating multiple virtual HID devices or utilizing custom multi-byte USB descriptors.
Debounce & Actuation Point
Switch ResponseMechanical switch contacts bounce when struck. Keyboard microcontrollers apply a digital debounce algorithm (typically 1ms to 5ms). Magnetic Hall Effect and optical keyboard switches actuate with zero physical contact, delivering instant response without debounce delay.
