Keyboard Monitor

Keyboard Monitor is a cool tool that works with Windows 7 and Vista. This desktop gadget keeps track of your typing in real-time. It shows you how many keystrokes you've made, plus your current, average, and maximum typing speed. It's perfect for anyone looking to test their typing skills!

Features of Keyboard Monitor

The interface is simple and features a small window that you can move anywhere on your screen. This way, you can always keep an eye on it while working on other programs.

As soon as you start using it, Keyboard Monitor automatically tracks your keyboard activity. You'll see the total number of keystrokes since you turned it on and how fast you're typing at any moment (that's measured in kps, or keystrokes per second).

Customizable Options

If you need to take a break from tracking, you can pause the kps counter. There are also some customization settings available! You can choose not to have Keyboard Monitor remember counters when you shut down your computer. Plus, it allows for resetting the counters immediately or saving and loading them whenever you want.

You can even change the size and opacity of the frame to fit your style! Want to hide the app's name or copyright? No problem! You can also upload a small keyboard image (60x47 pixels) or reset everything back to default settings.

Personalization Options

Your background color isn't stuck either; you can customize it for various elements like the title, keystrokes, speed readings, error messages, and more! And if you're ever feeling overwhelmed by changes, just reset all colors and settings back to factory defaults anytime.
