View Full Version : Keyboard acting weird

My keyboard is all of a sudden acting weird. Wherever i'm typing and i type
'i' it always brings up the calculator for some reason and it's really
annoying and it says on the calculator "Invalid input for function". Also
whenever i type "k" it seems to work as Caps Lock plus the letter k. Same
thing happens when i press "Caps LocK" it turns on my caps lock plus types a
letter K. This happens everywhere i type, when ever i press those keys. And
it seems those are the only ones acting weird. I dont have any viruses or
adware because i checked already and i tryed plugging it out and back in my
computer, but nothing changed. Can somebody please help me out. Thanks

I have had this happen to me before when my wife spilled her drink on the
keyboard and just wiped it up and failed to tell me in time that I could take
the thing apart and clean it. If any liquid was spilled into your keyboard
it can cause shorts between the keys and thats what I believe is going on. I
am not positive but you may see if you can try a new keyboard to test my
hypothesis. Good Luck.

Try plugging the keyboard into a different PC.

But I didn't spill nothing on it, out of nowhere it just started doing it, I
don't even know why
