Keyboard Tester Software

[tl82]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know of any software that can check if the usb keyboard you just plugged into a laptop works okay? We are pulling 50+ keyboards out of storage in the coming months to go into refurbished rooms. They’ve been there for many years and there is the chance that some faulty piles got mixed up with the working ones. Is there some sort of checker software that can bring up a message saying if the keyboard is good or bad, when you plug it in? I can imagine there may be a few on-site visits required to swap out faulty ones, which is something that we would like to avoid, as we’ve got enough things to do as it is.

It’s not as automated as you said, but we normally just use something like

Press each key once and it’ll light up if it’s recognised

 

Generally can get the keyboard done in a few hand presses if you stretch

Again, just press each key or use the toggle switch to keep the keys lit up.

 

Cheers!

How is software going to test a keyboard? You still need a person (or robot arm) to physically press each key to check it works. I ususally do just a quick

Check enter backspace shift etc
