Windows 10: Sporadic Keyboard

Half an year ago, a few keys "b", "n", " ", "/", left, down, and right arrow keys, number pad "3" and "." on my keyboard stopped responding simultaneously, and I would have to press really hard on the key usually space key for it to start working again for a few moments before being unresponsive. It would usually go like this: 1. all the keys mentioned above stops responding 2. hard press and hold space key 3. space key would then be typed out, but randomly 4. while holding down the space key, other keys "b", "n", and so on would then be responsive as if not broken 5. repeat.I've tried t

Hyphen key, and Alt code sporadically stop working.

Hi Rogue,



We would appreciate for the troubleshooting steps that you have tried.

• 
  Have you installed the latest keyboard driver from the computer manufacturer’s website?
  

I suggest you to use the on-screen keyboard and check if the same issue persists:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys together.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter.
  

Hope this information helps.



Thank you.

  Device Manager from the list.

  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
