Yesterday, after I got home, when I opened my computer I realized there was something wrong with it. The problems found are the following:
- When I press Right Shift, what is mapped to the button above it is automatically shift-pressed (e.g when I press right shift, '~' is automatically pressed if the layout is uk, '|' is automatically pressed if the layout is us and so on)
- When I press Left Shift, backspace is automatically pressed as well
- Sometimes, the letters I write are automatically upper-case, without me pressing anything other than the key itself
After some troubleshooting (a lot of it actually), I have decided that:
- The problem is not software related, or driver related (I have tried rebooting, uninstalling drivers, and nothing worked, I have also tried moving the keyboard to another computer and the problem persists)
- The keys themselves aren't faulty other than the problem (The shift function works, it's only that the other keys are automatically pressed sometimes)
- The usb slot isn't faulty
- Not operating system problem
Also, before answering the question also know that:
- I have never spilled anything on the keyboard
- I have tried cleaning the keyboard, it didn't work
- I am currently writing on that keyboard, and no, it's not usable, just from writing this thread I feel like pulling my hair out
- Buying another keyboard is only last last last last last resort
I hope someone will be able to help me.
