About the Numpad Test
The Numpad Test tests every key on the number pad, including Num Lock, the operators and the separate Enter key, without touching the main keyboard. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.
What people use it for
- Checking an external USB number pad.
- Working out whether Num Lock is the reason the pad types arrows instead of digits.
Explained in our guides
All guidesFrequently asked questions
My number pad types arrows instead of numbers. Is it faulty?
No — that is Num Lock switched off. The pad sends different codes in each state, and this test shows you which one is arriving, so you can confirm the key itself works.
Why does a key light up in the wrong place?
The test reads the physical key position, not the printed letter, so a non-QWERTY layout will light the key that sits in that position on a US keyboard. That is correct behaviour — it means the test works the same on AZERTY, QWERTZ and Dvorak.
Some keys do nothing at all. Is my keyboard broken?
Not necessarily. Browsers keep a few combinations for themselves — F11, F12, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, Cmd+Q, Alt+Tab and the Windows key among them — and act on those instead of passing them to the page. Media keys, Fn-layer keys and macro keys usually never reach the browser either.
Is anything I type recorded?
No. The test runs entirely in your browser tab, keeps only which keys were pressed, and forgets even that when you close or reload the page. Nothing is sent to a server.
Do I need an account to use the Numpad Test?
There is no cost and no cap. The Numpad Test is not a demo of a paid product, so nothing is held back or watermarked.
Is the Numpad Test safe to use with private information?
No. The Numpad Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Because the work happens locally, the page also keeps working if your connection drops, and closing the tab is all it takes to discard everything.
What problem does the Numpad Test solve?
Typical uses: checking an external USB number pad. Working out whether Num Lock is the reason the pad types arrows instead of digits. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Why does the test start on its own?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Numpad Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
