Topic: Keyboard Question

What could cause a keyboards left and up arrow keys, and both control keys, as in each one, on both sides of the space bar, to cease working, but have everything else work fine?

Joy. Found out my Numlock key, and the /, -, and * next to it are gone too. wtfwtfwtf


And just incase, yes, I tried another keyboard in the port, and those keys worked fine.

have you ever looked at the pressure sheet behind a keyboard?
Lots of keys that you would never expect to be related are. I wouldn't be able to say for sure if you just killed one of the traces on the pressure sheet, but I would bet dollers to doughnuts that you did. I think it's time for a new keyboard Skaw.

could be the springs under the keys. you ever turn that keyboard upside down and wack it a few times? knock all the dirt and hair and other things that might be in there out? drag a knife along the keys to pull out hair etc?

my cats shed alot so every now and they I have to do this.

Good news? keyboards are cheap. I dont particularly like cordless devices though.

Honestly, the mouse is wonderful from Logitech (Mx700) ... although, I am still getting use to the keyboard... I can't tell if I am still having some "lag" that I had from my standard keyboard, or something due to the wireless factor... whatever it is, I did not have any real issues for when it would matter more (ie, gaming). Although, I have yet to test it on an FPS. =/

But yeh, keybaords are cheap... hell, I at one point had 2-3 spare ones (don't ask how, because I don't really remember... too many computers i guess). Can probably just find some computer friend that might even have a spare.

I popped off a few off them, and there was nothing keeping them from being pressed all the way down. I'm going to put in an order for a new keyboard, since I won't be able to go out and get one this weekend. And I'm not buying anything Logitech

I need a split board with all the handy buttons along the top that I've gotten used to. They run about forty bucks.

It's not that I don't like Logitech, its that they're usually too bulky. I don't really have enough room for a huge keyboard.
