HardwareTest

Project Background

When debugging peripherals or researching input latency, you often run into basic but inconvenient-to-verify questions:

• What is the actual polling rate of your mouse?
• Is double-clicking caused by a mouse fault, or system debounce?
• How large is the difference in input event precision across different browsers?
• If you're using a temporary computer and don't want to install various testing software, what should you do?

Most existing tools are local programs, or focus on entertainment-style benchmarking, and rarely explain testing principles and limitations.

The goal of HardwareTest.org is to explore: Using only a browser, to what extent can hardware behavior be "perceived"? Which test results are reliable, and which are only for reference?

Key Features

• Mouse Polling Rate Test: Test your mouse's polling rate directly in the browser, to compare different mice or settings
• Double Click / Debounce Test: Check if your mouse has abnormal double-click issues
• Keyboard Input Test: Verify keyboard input response and event triggering status
• Display / Audio Tests: Provide basic display and audio detection tools

---

Product Highlights

• No installation required: All tests run directly in your browser
• Built on Web APIs: Uses native browser event and timing capabilities
• Principle-focused: Pages explain testing methods, margins of error and limitations
• Lightweight & standalone: No need for plugins, drivers or third-party programs
• Reference for comparison: Results are intended for comparison and learning, not for hardware benchmarking

Who Is It For?

• Developers / tech enthusiasts
• Hardware enthusiasts
• Web developers (to understand input / timing capabilities)
• Users with quick testing needs on temporary or public computers

HardwareTest.org is still under active development, and is an independent project focused on experimentation and learning.
