Keyboard Ghosting & Rollover Test

In the eventuality that you are playing games that require you press multiple keystrokes at the same time to perform various actions, then there is a chance that you noticed not all commands were executed. Keyboard Ghosting & Rollover Test is a tiny utility that enables you to determine the performance of the peripheral device and make sure all keys are functional.

The setup is quick and uneventful, as it details decompressing the archive in the desired location on your computer. Upon launch, you come face to face with a clean and intuitive interface that displays the sets of keystrokes as you would normally view on a standard keyboard.

As you probably hinted, you can perform the test by pressing the desired key as you normally would on your keyboard. Alternatively, if you want to check out the X-Key rollover capabilities, then you can press as many keys as possible and preview the maximum number of presses recorded by your computer.

While you can establish if a key is functional visually, you should know that the app allows you to view the data in the right panel. Depending on your project, you can select to display key names, virtual key codes or both.

The data is displayed and disappears in real-time, so you cannot verify the information unless you keep the key pressed. It would have been nice if the app allowed you to record the keys you pressed.

Unfortunately, the application is mostly designed for the US English-language keyboard layout. If you are using other types of devices, then the results of the tests might not be accurate because the actual meaning of some key codes can vary depending on layout and language.

If you want to determine the capabilities of your keyboard and determine whether it is time to invest in a device with anti-ghosting features, then perhaps Keyboard Ghosting & Rollover Test can lend you a hand.
