The method that a friend of mine has developed to check DW/UW/BW is very fast and lacks only the USB cable. It consists of a set of 11 weights, sawed-off lengths of brass hex rod, each marked with their weights - 20g to 30g. I store mine in a 3/4" x 6" long PVC pipe nipple with end caps. You choose one weight for the desired upweight, say 25g, then place another weight on top of it, say 27g. The idea is that the two weights together is enough to depress the key and the removal of the top weight allows the key to return - at the same speed. The weights should be such that you're not wasting time pounding the table trying to make the key move, but the keys might take about one second to travel down and one second to come back up. There's not much skill involved and you can very quickly spot where there is a friction problem or a balance weight problem. If you need to enter all the numbers into a computer, though, you'll have to do it "digitally".
