    Down arrow key is suddenly way too sensitive


    The down arrow key on my laptop's keyboard is suddenly way too sensitive and has become unusable. If I simply rest my finger on it, it behaves as if I pressed it. If I actually press and let go of it, it behaves as if I'm holding it and prevents me from moving my cursor or doing anything else. Some days I don't even have to press it to get the problem. Sometimes pressing the up arrow will stop it while other times pressing up or any of the arrow keys cause the problem to show up again. This is the only key that gives me problems and the problem first showed up within the last month. Is there a way I can fix this?

    :)

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    Snap suddenly not working with win-key + arrow key

    So snap has suddenly stopped working with win-key + arrow key, it still works when dragging the window to the edge/top of the screen using the mouse. The keys still work individually (arrow keys still scroll in web pages and win key still opens start menu)
    but no in combo. I've checked in the settings and control panel and snap is enabled (also when I snap by dragging with the mouse the snap suggestions do not pop up like they used to even though the setting is again enabled.

    It just stopped working about ten minutes ago and it's already infuriating since I'm at uni and often need multiple windows open.

    Thanks for your help.

    arrow key problem

    Hi,

    Your concern with the arrow keys can be due to the configuration of either the keyboard and/or the computer. To better understand your concern, we'd like to know the following:

    • If the specified device is a desktop or a laptop.
    • The make and model of the keyboard that you're using.
    • If you've tried using a different keyboard.
    • If you've installed programs that can bind keyboard keys.
    • The version and build of Windows 10 that you're using on your device. To check this, you can perform the steps posted on this

      link      .

    We look forward to your response.
