# keyboard-tester, for linux & macOS

Written so I could test macbook keyboards before sending back to clients after a board repair or similar service.

Works on keyboard scancodes, not keycodes, so will work with all keyboards but you'll be left with varying levels of keys that aren't "pressed".

#### BETA DEVELOPMENT --- Seems to be okay to use now

### Prerequisites

Requires SDL2 and SDL2_ttf

linux

```

apt install libsdl2-dev

```

macOS

```

brew install libsdl2 libsd2_ttf

```

### Build

```make```
