Methods and systems for performing automated keyboard mapping for virtual desktops are described herein. A system may generate a keyboard mapping table containing a plurality of keyboard inputs. The system may simulate a keyboard input locally at the system and using a virtual desktop hosted by a remote desktop platform to generate keyboard simulation outputs in response to a first keyboard input. In response to determining a discrepancy between the keyboard simulation outputs, the system may modify a key value in the keyboard mapping table resulting in a corrected keyboard mapping table, where the key value corresponds to the first keyboard input. In response to receiving a second keyboard input, the system may apply the corrected keyboard mapping table to display a keyboard output at the virtual desktop hosted by the remote desktop platform, where the second keyboard input has the same key value as the first keyboard input.
