Four subjects that come up every time somebody tests a keyboard or starts learning to type properly.

ISO and ANSI keyboards differ in Enter shape, left Shift width and total key count. See what changes, why keycaps clash, and how to check yours.

A dead key prints nothing until you press the next key, so a keyboard test can make it look faulty. How dead keys, AltGr and US International behave.

Home row, finger assignments, accuracy before speed, and realistic WPM targets. A practical method for typing without looking at the keyboard.

Compressed air, keycap removal, isopropyl alcohol and spill recovery, plus the key test that confirms nothing broke while you were cleaning.

Tools

Press keys and watch them light up on screen. Finds keys that do not answer, keys that fire twice, and how many keys your board registers at once.

Fifteen, thirty or sixty seconds, or a whole passage. You get speed, accuracy and a map of which keys cost you the most.
