Testing an ASUS laptop keyboard

This page uses the Windows laptop layout found on ASUS VivoBook, ZenBook, TUF Gaming and ROG laptops. Tick Numeric keypad if yours has one. Note: some VivoBook and ZenBook models have a NumberPad built into the touchpad — that is a touchpad feature, so it won't show up as keyboard keys here.

What the colours mean

• Green — the key sent a signal to your computer. It works.
• Blue — the key is being held down right now. A key that stays blue after you let go is stuck.
• Red outline — shown when you click “Highlight untested keys”: keys you have not pressed yet.
• Dashed — Fn and Touch ID are handled inside the laptop and are never visible to any website. Test Fn through its shortcuts instead (Fn + brightness or volume).

Function keys not working on your ASUS laptop?

On many ASUS laptops Fn + Esc toggles Fn Lock. You can also set it in the MyASUS app under Customization → Function key lock. MyASUS also has a System Diagnosis section that can check your hardware.

A key does not light up — what next?

1. Rule out software first. Restart, then test again. Check that Filter Keys / Sticky Keys (Windows Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard) are off.
2. Plug in a USB keyboard and test it here. If the external keyboard works, the laptop keyboard hardware is at fault, not Windows.
3. Clean it. Turn the laptop off, tilt it, and blow compressed air under the dead key in short bursts. Crumbs and dust cause most “dead” or “sticky” keys.
4. Reinstall the driver. Device Manager → Keyboards → right-click the keyboard → Uninstall device, then restart. Windows reinstalls it automatically.
5. If one key or one whole row is still dead, the keyboard (or its ribbon cable) needs replacing. On most laptops the keyboard is a separate, inexpensive part.
