PressWhat

PressWhat is a small-sized software tool that provides users with a simple means of testing their keyboard with great ease and without putting a strain on the computer’s performance.

The installation process is a piece of cake, as it does not offer to download or add any products that are not actually necessary for the program to work properly and it does not take longer than a few moments. Nevertheless, if you want to skip it, you should know that a portable edition is also available, namely PressWhat Portable.

The interface you come by can only be described as plain and simple, as it only consists of a small window and a pane in which to view the keys you have pressed. As a consequence, it becomes quite clear that all types of users, including those with little or no previous experience, can find their way around it with ease.

As stated above, this application enables you to easily verify if your keyboard is working properly or not. It displays all the keys you press into a tiny box, so that you can easily see which ones do not respond to your input. Nevertheless, you should know that keys such as Print Screen, Pause/Break and Scroll Lock. No other notable options are incorporated.

The amount of resources required is low at all times, the response time is very good and our tests did not reveal any errors, hangs or freezes. The interface is dedicated to all user categories, including those less experienced. PressWhat is a pretty decent piece of software, yet its lack of further options might ward of power users.
