Report a Problem

Switch Hitter is a diagnostic software for keyboards. It allows you to find the common keyboard issues and solve them on the Windows OS. You can fix issues like key chattering, bouncing, and ghosting. 

Features:

  • Switch Hitter is very simple to use. When you run the program on your device, it will do its job and automatically record the inputs made from the keyboard and show feedback in real-time on its virtual keyboard layout. This method works for both USB or PS/2 connection type keyboards.
  • With the software, you get many built-in layouts of keyboards which you can use immediately. But the best part is, you have the option to make many customizations. If you don’t use the standard ANSI or ISO layout, you can customize the layout to exactly what you are using.
  • When you press keys on your keyboard, Switch Hitter understands this action and uses its algorithms to visually show the status of each of the key presses in a color-coded feedback.
  • Different colors mean unique things. For example, if you discover a green feedback, it means the key press is normal. But a red one means there are potential issues like multiple detections of a single press, etc. This happens every time you press keys. It gives you quick feedback to find issues and solve them.
  • Even though the Switch Hitter software was designed for mechanical keyboards, it works smoothly with all kinds of keyboards. Anyone facing keyboard issues or trying to maintain healthy presses can use it.
  • There is always a community to whom you can ask questions if you come across usage problems. Switch Hitter also stays updated, so you can download and use the latest version.

Switch Hitter is a free keyboard diagnostic software for Windows users. It comes with many useful features for understanding the key presses and discovering the issues. You get a color-coded feedback with different meanings and the option to customize or pick from many pre-defined layouts. It’s a great tool for keeping a healthy keyboard.
