ANSI reference

Common in the United States and many gaming keyboards. It normally has a wide horizontal Enter key and a long left Shift.

A physical layout describes key positions and shapes. The operating-system input source determines the characters produced.

Quick answer

Understanding the result

What a result means

Use repeated observations and compare the live indicators. A normal result means the browser received the expected events or values during this session.

A successful indicator means the expected event or stream reached this page. A missing or unusual value is a reason to repeat the action and compare conditions; it is not, by itself, proof that a component needs repair.

How to use this test

  1. Choose ANSI, ISO or JIS.
  2. Compare the physical key shapes and additional positions.
  3. Check your operating-system input language separately.
  4. Use Keyboard Test to inspect the events actually delivered.

What this test checks

  • ANSI, ISO and JIS physical references
  • Enter and left Shift shape differences
  • Additional JIS keys
  • Physical layout versus typed language

What this test cannot check

Results reflect events and values exposed by this browser.

This test does not certify hardware or replace professional inspection.

This reference does not detect the printed legends or active operating-system input source.

Device Test Bench provides browser-based diagnostic information for reference. It does not replace professional hardware inspection or repair.

Common problems and troubleshooting

Reload the page, confirm the test area has focus, check browser permissions and connection, then compare a current second browser. If the same fault remains across devices, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician.

  1. Confirm focus and support. Click inside the marked test area and review the compatibility status above.
  2. Check the connection. Reconnect a cable, receiver, Bluetooth device or media device where relevant.
  3. Review permission and settings. Check the browser site controls and operating-system privacy, input, output or scaling settings.
  4. Remove competing conditions. Close another app using the device, keep timing pages visible and reduce heavy system load.
  5. Compare safely. Repeat the same action in a second current browser or another port/computer when practical.

If a consistent problem remains across applications and connections, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician with the repeatable observations.

Browser compatibility

Uses feature detection. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can expose different capabilities and permission behavior.

HTTPS is required for camera, microphone and some output-selection features. Background tabs can throttle animation and input timing. Mobile system gestures may reserve some touch combinations.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Keyboard Layout Reference free?

Yes. The test works without an account, download or payment.

Is my test data uploaded?

Test values are calculated in this browser. Device Test Bench does not store a test result or create a device fingerprint.

Does this result prove my hardware is faulty?

No. It shows what the browser can observe. Repeat the test, compare another browser or device, and seek qualified support when the result matters.

Why might the result differ in another browser?

Browsers, operating systems, permissions, drivers and power-saving behavior expose or schedule device events differently.
