Stress-test chords for ghosting and dropped keys
Hold WASD or custom chords—we show which keys registered, which dropped, and any phantom inputs the browser received.
Step 1
Pick a chord preset
Start with WASD or record your own multi-key combo.
Step 2
Hold all keys together
Press and hold every key in the chord at once.
Step 3
Check for ghosts or drops
See missing keys or inputs you never pressed before blaming lag.
No download or sign-in. Chatter from one key is debounce—use the debounce lab for that.
