Due to OS-level limits, some keys or combos may not register — this is neither a bug nor a fault of your keyboard. Learn why

On Mac (and some Windows laptops) the F1–F12 keys need a modifier key (e.g. Fn) to work — keep this in mind while testing.

About this test

The typing test replaces the keyboard area with a single sentence: a classic Chinese poem for Chinese, or an English pangram containing every letter of the alphabet. Timing starts at your first keystroke and freezes the moment your input matches the sentence exactly, displayed live in milliseconds.

Beyond speed, it is a practical stability check: dropout or chatter during the run shows up directly as missing or doubled characters. Pair it with the chatter and dropout tests to cross-check a suspicious keyboard.

How to test: click into the input area and type the sentence shown; fix typos with backspace. The clock stops only when your input matches the sentence character for character. Hit "Reset" to clear and go again — compare rounds to see how consistent your feel really is. Treat each round as a short keyboarding speed test: stable times with no typos mean your switches and rollover are healthy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the sentence?

The sentence is built in: Chinese uses a classic poem, English uses a pangram that contains all 26 letters. More sentences and difficulty levels may come later — feedback welcome.

What if I make a typo?

Backspace freely — the run only completes when your input matches the sentence exactly, and every second spent correcting counts toward your final time.

How is this different from a WPM test?

This test focuses on completion time, ticking live in milliseconds, which makes round-to-round comparison easy. It does not compute words-per-minute; the fixed sentence length keeps runs directly comparable.

Is this a keyboarding speed test?

Treat it as one: completing a fixed sentence measures your keyboarding speed and accuracy together — faster, steadier rounds mean better keyboarding. It does not output WPM directly; if you want raw press speed, pair it with the CPS test.
