So I switched my keyboard to another computer and it stopped working, I have been using it for years, so I moved it back to my desktop and this is what happens;

When i hit n I get [n, m does ]m, p does pb and lots of other weird combos. Lots of keys don't work and some do like zx. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but to no avail.

I have another keyboard that works, I have no idea what's going on.

With the problem board plugged in, open Control Panel>View devices and printers. Right click on you keyboard and select Region and Language. Ensure the board is set to whatever language and region you need. If everything is alright here, go back to Devices and Printers, right click on the keyboard, and select Troubleshoot. Let it run and see if it does anything helpful, though it probably won't.

If none of this works, try the board on another machine again. If it's messed up there, it is probably bad.
