TestsThe layout, not the switches
This reads the characters the browser receives, which is what any application would receive, so it tests the layout and the input method rather than the physical switches. For a key that produces nothing at all, the Keyboard Test is the right tool.

Where this tool stops

Layout identification is a best guess from the key-to-character pairs it has seen, so it needs several keypresses before it means anything, and a customised layout will not match either of the two it knows.

Frequently asked questions

My keys type English, not Urdu. Why?
The Urdu layout is installed but not active. Switch input method with the language key — Windows uses Win+Space and macOS uses Ctrl+Space — then try again. The tool flags this when most of your keys produce Latin letters.
Some Urdu letters never appear. Is the keyboard faulty?
Usually not. ڑ, ں, ے and ھ need a modifier on several layouts rather than having a key of their own, and which modifier depends on the layout. A few gaps in the grid normally mean a layout difference. If a key produces nothing at all in any application, that is a hardware question — use the Keyboard Test for that.
Are there any usage caps on the Urdu Keyboard Layout Tester?
No charge and no sign-up. There is no free tier to run out of because there is no paid tier — inputtesthub.com is funded by advertising rather than by metering the tool.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The Urdu Keyboard Layout Tester runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, which you can verify yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
Who is the Urdu Keyboard Layout Tester for?
In practice it gets used for three things: confirming a newly installed Urdu keyboard works. Finding out whether you are on the phonetic or the CRULP layout. Locating the keys for ڑ, ں, ے and ھ. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the Urdu Keyboard Layout Tester not the right tool?
Layout identification is a best guess from the key-to-character pairs it has seen, so it needs several keypresses before it means anything, and a customised layout will not match either of the two it knows. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
Urdu letters is 40 in the standard set. Phonetic layout is Maps to English sounds. CRULP layout is The InPage standard. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Why does the test start on its own?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Urdu Keyboard Layout Tester 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.
