Tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
open_keyboard_tester | Opens a keyboard tester for a board layout such as ANSI US or ISO UK. Each key lights up when the keyboard registers it, and the tester counts the keys received. Returns the board's keys and labels. |
start_typing_test | Starts a timed typing test of 30, 60 or 120 seconds and returns its words from the website's English word list. The test reports words per minute, accuracy and errors when time is up. |
get_keycode | Returns the values a key reports in a browser key event: key, code, keyCode, which and location. Accepts a key name such as Enter or Shift, or one character on a US keyboard, and lists the left, right and number-pad variants. |
check_rollover | Opens a rollover test that shows the keys held down at once and the largest number of keys the keyboard registered together. Returns a full-size ANSI board with no inputs needed. |
get_layout | Returns the key map of a keyboard layout with plain, Shift and AltGr characters, and the website's notes on it. Layouts include QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak, Colemak, Workman and regional layouts. |
compare_layouts | Compares two keyboard layouts and returns the keys that type different characters. Adds the website's example-text counts of home-row use and same-finger letter pairs for each. QWERTY and Dvorak without names. |
find_switches | Finds keyboard switches in the website's catalog by feel, actuation force and sound recordings, and returns their specifications. A force matches switches that list a value within 10 gf of it, and a set that offers several feels is listed under each of them. |
plan_keyboard_build | Plans a keyboard build from the website's reviewed combinations of barebones kit, switches and keycaps. Returns the parts, fit checks, switch quantities and the parts list as the builder writes it. |
Example prompts

Your data
The app only reads. Nothing you ask is stored, key presses in the tester stay in the widget, and following a link from a result to this website records no click. See the privacy page and the terms.
Troubleshooting
If the tools do not appear, check that the address above is entered exactly, with no authentication, then refresh the connector or start a new chat. The typing test runs for 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
