# Keystrokes are not working

If you find that the Keystrokes are not working, here are some steps to troubleshoot:

### Check if the keystrokes are reaching your computer
You can use https://keyboardchecker.com
If you hit a key, you should see the key light up in the app. If your computer is receiving the keystrokes then it means that the issue is related to a setting in the software you are trying to control

### MIDI Controller needs to be connected via USB
Keystrokes is a USB protocol, so the MIDI controller needs to be connected to the computer via USB. Keystrokes do not get sent via the MIDI Outputs.

### Check your firmware version
We publish 2 versions for each firmware.

1. MIDI + Keyboard USB interface
2. MIDI interface only

Check that the firmware you are using is **NOT **the MIDI Interface Only version. The MIDI ONLY firmware version will be suffixed with `A`i.e. `v3.12.6A`
