Can someone recommend a good keyboard testing program? preferably for Windows. I want to test if all switches are registering correctly in DIY boards.

There's probably something easier but you can use Microsofts Spy++/SpyXX (part of the Windows SDK).
Heres a stand alone download

To see the messages you click Spy -> Log Messages, select "All Windows in System", head over to the "Messages" tab and deselect all but "Keyboard" and click ok.
Open any editor or click into any textfield and you will see a log of all keyboard events in the spy window.
