How it works and what the result means
The tester records browser key-down and key-up events, tracks held keys, and separates operating-system repeats from fresh presses. Short intervals are clues to investigate, not proof of a defective switch.
Reading the result
The log shows opposing direction events received by the browser. Firmware may resolve or filter simultaneous inputs before delivery.
What to check next
Keep the surface focused and repeat slowly. Compare the behavior in your game, which may apply its own movement rules.
System shortcuts and some special keys are intercepted before a web page receives them. USB polling frequency, analog actuation distance and physical rapid-trigger settings cannot be read from keyboard events.
Frequently asked questions
Does this certify Snap Tap or SOCD legality?
No. It observes events and cannot certify firmware features or current competition rules. Check the rules of the game or event where you intend to use the setting.
How do I start the SOCD & Snap Tap Test?
Click the test area to focus it, then press and release the keys you want to inspect. Try simultaneous combinations for a ghosting check.
Does this tool require a download or an account?
No. Open the interactive tool above in a modern browser. The instructions and explanations are available even with JavaScript disabled; running a test needs JavaScript.
Why can two attempts give different results?
Power settings, background tasks, browser scheduling, operating-system input processing and device settings affect measurements. Compare repeated attempts with identical settings rather than the single highest score.
