Abstract

A portable information handling system keyboard is tested for wear to determine reuse or recycling by subjecting the information handling system to visual inspection performed by a camera that includes an evaluation of key wear based in part on a keyboard language in a key lattice. The key lattice couples to a keyboard frame over a membrane having contact sensors and extends plural keyboard language members towards the membrane that identify by contact against the membrane the language of the plural keys in the keyboard lattice.
