How to detect if any key is pressed

Hello!

I am trying to detect when the player presses any key. I know how to get an input from a specific one, but not from any and could not find any articles to help.

Any solutions?

(Currently using this:)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
    if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		playerGui.MenuScreen.Enabled = true
		--[[FrameTween:Play()
		wait(2)
		LoadingScreen:Destroy()]]
	end
end)

None, just doesn’t work no matter what I press.

EDIT: I was stupid and found a mistake further up in the code.

Did you try using…

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
	print("I clicked a key!")
	-- What to put when player clicks.
end)

The .InputBegan Event fires when players type input, any if you want any key, you dont need to specify the key clicked.

Well InputBegan is for mouse and keyboard, and I think he was trying to track only the keyboard, and in your code, the function gets triggered for both mouse and keyboard.
