Re: Carousel with multiple items - recommended keyboard operation when activating Next-button

If you could not see the screen
Would you be able to tell that they were six cards visible?
You need to test this with a screen reader to see how it behaves?
The previous and next slide buttons should be clearly indicated
There should be a play pause button if the slides continuously change.
