Keyboard hold test
Hold any key while the test stays focused, then release it. See its current and completed hold duration and compare another key.
What the test received
Press and release a key to begin.
Held-key timing
Hold any key to start its ten-second cue.
These times run from browser down to browser up, current moment, or focus interruption. An interrupted hold is included only until focus changed.
A key stops registering while you hold it
Released means an up event ended the hold. Interrupted means test focus ended; it does not mean the keyboard sent a release.
Keep a steady hold in the focused test
Reset, click the board and hold the affected key without switching tabs or touching another control. Compare with a nearby key. If a release appears while your finger stayed down, continue below.
Compare another app
Hold a letter or arrow in a text editor. A pause in repeated characters alone is not a release; modifiers may not repeat at all. Check whether the problem also affects movement or selection in that app.
Isolate the connection
Compare a direct USB port or supported wired mode and check wireless charge. Review macros that might insert a release.
Check analog release settings, if supported
On a Wooting keyboard with Rapid Trigger, release sensitivity can change when a key resets. Save the current profile, compare the manufacturer’s normal profile, then restore it. Use your own model’s guide for other brands.
Retest
Reset and repeat the same steady hold after each change. Keep focus on the test and compare received releases separately from interruptions.
If it persists
If unwanted releases follow the same key across apps and another computer, contact the manufacturer with the model, profile and connection tested.
