Doesn't work on either of the cherry mx keyboards I have and I haven't heard of anyone else having success with this.

I’m guessing it doesn’t need to be all that accurate for certain use cases.

Even just knowing the length of the password, estimating which keys in the sequence are capitalized (if Shift behavior is fairly easy to pin down) and being able to pin each key down to 5 possibilities would make a 20 character password trivial to crack. Right?

Same for me, it was laughably bad.
