Keyboard Rollover Test

Rollover describes how many keys a keyboard can report while held. This workspace counts the keys the browser currently sees and records the highest simultaneous count.

Mobile note: Rollover testing requires a physical keyboard.

Limitations: this panel reports keyboard events delivered by the operating system to this browser tab. It cannot measure hardware matrix behavior, firmware promises, USB polling, or true physical latency.

About this test

What the browser sees

The count below reflects events delivered to the page. Hardware matrix behavior, firmware, and OS handling can all change that number.

Try realistic chords

Gaming and shortcuts use real combinations. Hold movement keys with modifiers and compare the detected count with the keys you actually pressed.

No unsupported claims

A browser test cannot prove a keyboard is NKRO. It can only show how many simultaneous keydowns reached the page in this session.

What is 6-key rollover?

It usually means the keyboard is designed to report at least six simultaneous keys. A browser test can detect what the OS delivers, not the hardware design promise.

Why does my count stay lower than expected?

Some combinations are reserved by shortcuts, and some matrix designs drop or alter keys. Test with plain letter and number keys first.
