First we will go through requriment analysis. Then we will check for its functionality, sturdiness of the Kbd., will check for scratch proof nature, etc

[LIST]First of all I will go through all requirements. 
After that I will check first positive than negative way. 
I will give valid strokes (press all keys) ensuring all keys working correct or not. 
I will check combination keys are working correct or not. 
I will check invalid strokes ex: pressing key "a" and "c" at a time. 
I will check functional keys working.

First check the requirements of the keyboard

as we are familiar with keyboards,

check the dimensions and design of the keyboard as requirements

next checks the total no. of keys and check whether all keys are present and present correctly in their specified positions

next check the display of the alphabet when the corresponding key is pressed

check the display of the data when different keys combinations are entered

1.try all of the keys by pressing them once.
2. try key repeats (hold down each key)

Try this on several computers, operating systems, versions, etc.

You can not test all of the key combinations, so you would have to construct a matrix, and pick which combinations to test.  Of course testing standards for hardware tend to be much more rigurous than software testing, except miltary avionics software, of course.

Hi,

In case of a mouse wire being disconnected to a computer, then the functionality of keyboard plays a vital role in performing an action. Here are some of the scenarios:

1. Check for the number of keys present depending on the type of keyboard say if it is an enhanced or a standard one.

2. Check if the keys pressed does the required action in time.

3. To check if the required action is performed on pressing combination of keys.

4. Check if Num lock and Caps lock work as desired.

5. Check if the manual click of any key using the mouse on an On-Screen keyboard works.

These are all great comments. I add some more:

* Drop the keyboard and make sure it does not break in any bad way ( Not getting sued )
* Pour some water/coffee/tea on it and make sure nothing extremely bad happens.
* Other physical tests to make sure it is not hazardous to use the keyboard
* Test the connection of the keyboard to different computers.
* If there are million of keyboards to be tested maybe design a robot to run the tests automatically
