This mobile keypad tester checks the on-screen keyboard on your iPhone or Android phone. Tap the box, type, and the tool shows what the browser receives: the key, the type of input, each character as it arrives and how many of the keys you have used. It also measures your typing speed and lets you try number, phone, email and URL keypads.
A phone keyboard tester is an online tool that lets you verify whether every key on your mobile device's virtual keyboard is working correctly. Whether you're using an iPhone, Android phone or tablet, this keypad tester detects and displays each key press in real time, helping you identify any issues with your touchscreen keyboard input. When checking a number pad, use the numpad test to press all 17 keys on the numeric block and watch each one turn green.
Open this page on the phone you want to test. A computer keyboard also works, but the point of this page is the on-screen keyboard. Differences in key shape, size and region make iso or ansi keyboard a hardware question worth answering before you swap keycaps.
Testing your phone's keyboard helps you catch problems before they become frustrating. Here's when a mobile keyboard test comes in handy:
This iPhone keyboard tester works with all iOS devices, including iPhone 15, 14, 13, SE and iPad. Simply open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the text area and start typing. The tool detects every key press from Apple's native iOS keyboard, showing you exactly which keys register and tracking your typing speed. It is useful for testing your keyboard after screen repairs or to check whether your iPhone's touch response is accurate.
If keys are missing or the layout is wrong, open Settings, go to General and choose Keyboard, then check the list of keyboards and the language settings. Third-party keyboards can be removed from the same screen to see whether they are the cause.
Need to test your keyboard on Android? This keypad tester works with Gboard (Google Keyboard), Samsung Keyboard, SwiftKey and any other Android keyboard app, and is compatible with Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi and other Android devices. Test keyboard inputs from letters and numbers to special characters and emoji; every key press is logged in the Recent events list. For a physical keyboard, the keyboard latency test measures input lag from USB polling, wireless transmission or driver overhead.
Key names will often show as Unidentified on Android, which is normal. To fix a problem, open Settings and look for the on-screen keyboard setting, which is usually under System and then Languages and input, and check the keyboard app, its layout and its typing options. Menu names vary by phone maker.
Every key press is instantly detected and displayed, including special keys like Backspace, Enter and Space.
See a log of the keys pressed during your test session, with special keys shown by name for easy identification.
Measures your mobile typing speed in words per minute, counting five characters as one word, so you can track improvement over time.
Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Android phones, tablets and any device with a touchscreen keyboard.
These come from the keydown event. On a desktop keyboard they name the exact key. On many phone keyboards they do not, which is explained below, so do not worry if they show placeholder values.
Input type and data come from the input event. They are the reliable signal on a phone. They tell you whether the keyboard inserted text, deleted a character or added a line break, and what the character was.
The Keys seen grid lists the letters, digits, common symbols, Space, Backspace and Enter. Typing one of them lights its tile. The typing speed tracker counts characters, words and words per minute.
Desktop keyboards send one event per physical key. Phone keyboards do not have physical keys. Most of them hand text to the browser through an input method, so the browser often sees a key named Unidentified with a key code of 229 and learns the real text only from the input events. That is why this tester reads both and shows a Key names reported percentage.
| Event | Fires when | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| keydown | A key is pressed | The key name and code, if your keyboard reports them |
| beforeinput | Just before the text changes | The kind of change, such as insertText or deleteContentBackward |
| input | After the text has changed | The character that was inserted or deleted |
| compositionstart and compositionend | An input method starts and finishes a word | Whether suggestions or predictions are involved |
A low Key names reported value is normal on Android. A phone keyboard that inserts nothing at all, or inserts the wrong character, is the thing to investigate. Some keyboards also handle certain keys differently: predictive text suggestions and autocorrect may not trigger individual key events, and the tool detects direct key presses most accurately.
If your problem is on a computer keyboard instead, the keyboard test checks every physical key.
Websites can ask your phone for a particular keypad. The Keyboard type buttons set that request on the typing box, so you can check that each keypad opens correctly.
