How to Find Your Keyboard Serial Number Using CMD

If you need to locate your keyboard's serial number for warranty claims, troubleshooting, or driver updates, Windows Command Prompt (CMD) offers a quick solution. Here's how to find it in just a few steps.

Step 1: Open Command Prompt

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and hit Enter to launch Command Prompt.

Step 2: Run the WMIC Command

Copy and paste the following command into CMD and press Enter:

wmic path win32_Keyboard get SerialNumber

Step 3: View Your Keyboard's Serial Number

The serial number will appear in the output. If it shows N/A, your keyboard may not support serial number retrieval via CMD.

Alternative Methods

If CMD doesn't work, try checking:

• The physical label on your keyboard (often on the underside)
• Device Manager (right-click keyboard > Properties > Details > Hardware IDs)
• Manufacturer's software (e.g., Logitech Options, Razer Synapse)

Why This Matters

Knowing your keyboard's serial number helps with:

• Warranty registration/claims
• Driver compatibility checks
• Identifying counterfeit devices

Note: Some budget keyboards may not store serial numbers digitally. For wireless models, check the USB receiver or battery compartment.
