Features

Although desktop keyboards can be quickly and cheaply replaced, this is not the case for laptop computers where the keyboard is integrated into the computer itself. The failure of even a single key on a laptop computer can render the entire machine useless. (Imagine trying to use your laptop when the space bar doesn't work). Other Keyboard test features include:

1. A comprehensive help file.
2. Both the down stroke and the up stroke are highlighted in different colors.
3. Measurement of the keyboard repeat and depressing times.
4. Display of BIOS keyboard code and Windows scan codes.
