So I have this 3 month old keyboard, its a Rosewill RGB80 and recently whenever I press R it either doesn't type it at all or if im on Nkey rollover mode it zooms me in and types a bunch of random letters something like uiop+ or pppppppppppppp. I'm currently using the On screen keyboard to actually type my r's

Stuff I've tried
Checking if I was on the right language (I was)
Going on the RGB80 manual, perhaps the most useless thing in the world
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the keyboards drivers (didn't help)
Putting some macros on my R button so it'll only press R (neither did this help)


P.S. I believe it to be a shortcut that only exists on small keyboards like the RGB80 to be causing this that or I spit<mod edit> on my keyboard

I would appreciate any help because <mod edit> there just ain't those many games where you don't press R.

Spread out an old towel or some other cloth. Paper towels even.

Unplug the keyboard and turn it upside down over the cloth.

Firmly tap the ends and sides of the keyboard to dislodge any debris that may causing keys (the "R" in your case) to stick.

The cloth is to catch all the junk that is likely to fall out. Especially if you eat while typing.

Failing that, pop off the key cap and take a closer look.
