wasd and arrow keys switched

Solution
Did you load any drivers for the keyboard? If so, there may be some configuration tool for keyboard key assignments and testing. Check via Device Manager.

If you play games you may have invoked some feature that moves character/game control from right hand (arrow keys) to left hand (wasd keys). Or someone else using the computer may have done that - knowingly or unknowingly.

Some games let two players play: One player has the"wasd" keys, the other player has the "arrow" keys.

And there may be some ease of access reconfguration that happened. What OS are you using?

Also suggest you post what games/applications you are using. Someone may recognize a game that causes the described key switching - maybe through some default...
