Question

keyboard problems

Jul 25, 2016 2:28AM PDT

Hi, so I bought a new keyboard, current one was damaged by accident. it's like a 5 years old keyboard, so is my pc.
The problems are the followings : in video games you would normally hold w key for running/walking, but my character keeps walking and stopping, basically like i said earlier, keys aren't consistent
- the "i" and "k" keys aren't working well, if i type "i" sometimes it doesn't show up, sometimes i get two "i"s.
Please help me, and thanks for reading

Of settings and my encounters have been rootkits. The default keyboard settings are usually fine. Think about what's different. What's been tinkered with.

You can take it to repair in the store where you had bought it.

If this keyboard is a p+p unit and does not require special drivers then plug it into another machine and test it.
