What the test received

Press and release a key to begin.

A key does not appear on the board

A checkmark means this page received a press and release. An unmarked key has not completed that cycle here. Orange lock dots show reported On states; a dash in Key states means unknown.

  1. Confirm the test has focus

    Click the board, press an ordinary letter, then press and release the affected key. Select the size and physical shape that include that position.

  2. Check what the key actually does

    Try it in another app. Print Screen may open a screenshot tool instead of reaching this page. For Fn layers or Windows/Mac modes, check your exact keyboard manual.

  3. Review unexpected input filters

    Check Filter Keys on Windows, or Slow Keys and Mouse Keys on Mac. Preserve settings you rely on; change only an unintended option and restore it after comparison.

  4. Compare the connection

    Try a direct USB port and check wireless charge. Retest on another computer if available. For an obstructed key, follow your model’s unplugged cleaning instructions.

Retest

Reset the board and repeat the same press and release. If it works in another app but not here, investigate focus or shortcut handling first.

If it persists

If the same key also fails in other apps or on another computer, contact the manufacturer with the key, model and connection details.
