when i type the letter "T" i get "t]" instead. i will list the typos i get.

"I" comes up with "rir"
"5" comes up with "5="
"r" comes up with "ri"
"f" comes up with "fk"
"k" comes up with "fk"
"g" keeps going to the search bar
"]" comes up with "t]"

is there a fix for this. I spent £70 pound on this keyboard so please refrain from suggesting a new keyboard unless it is necessary.

try the keyboard on another pc if it does the same then it looks like it has a sticky or contaminated membrane, you may have to dismantle and wash the keyboard membrane and buttons and guides, this might not be an easy task to do but it might be the only way to fix it.

I forgot to mention its mechanical instead of membrane so I don't think it will be a case of a sticky membrane.

It still could be that the circuit board what the switches are mounted/soldered on to are contaminated (best case) or the switches could be contaminated them selves (worst case). open up the keyboard and clean the circuit board if there are traces or evidence of fluid contamination on the board, the mechanical switches (cherry click type) them selves can be opened up but you must be careful not to bend the contacts or springs in the switches.
