Claim Text:
1. A system for testing a keyboard, the system comprising: a plurality of elongate members, each having a first end and a second end; a support structure having a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of apertures that pass through the support structure from the first surface to the second surface such that an arrangement of the plurality of apertures substantially corresponds to a layout of a plurality of keys of a computer keyboard, wherein a longitudinal axis of each of the plurality of elongate members is aligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of apertures; and a roller that moves past a subset of apertures of the plurality of apertures during operation of the system and contacts an elongate member aligned with each of the subset of apertures, thereby causing the elongate member to be displaced by at least a first amount that is based on the dimensions of the roller such that the second end of the elongate member protrudes at least a second amount from the second surface of the support structure.
