KEYBOARD TYPING TEST
Type the sentence shown in the keyboard area — your completion time is measured.
Some OS key combos are captured by the system — that is expected, not a bug.
About this test
The typing test replaces the keyboard area with a single sentence: a classic Chinese poem for Chinese, or an English pangram containing every letter of the alphabet. Timing starts at your first keystroke and freezes the moment your input matches the sentence exactly, displayed live in milliseconds.
Beyond speed, it is a practical stability check: dropout or chatter during the run shows up directly as missing or doubled characters. Pair it with the chatter and dropout tests to cross-check a suspicious keyboard.
How to test: click into the input area and type the sentence shown; fix typos with backspace. The clock stops only when your input matches the sentence character for character. Hit "Reset" to clear and go again — compare rounds to see how consistent your feel really is.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the sentence?
The sentence is built in: Chinese uses a classic poem, English uses a pangram that contains all 26 letters. More sentences and difficulty levels may come later — feedback welcome.
What if I make a typo?
Backspace freely — the run only completes when your input matches the sentence exactly, and every second spent correcting counts toward your final time.
How is this different from a WPM test?
This test focuses on completion time, ticking live in milliseconds, which makes round-to-round comparison easy. It does not compute words-per-minute; the fixed sentence length keeps runs directly comparable.
