Windows 10: "D" key on keyboard not working properly

Originally posted to r/keyboards but I need all the help I can get.

Hi,

After an hour of playing dota, my keyboard letter "d" went mad. When I press it, it does multiple actions: types weqbvrtx, turns on/off caps lock, and right clicks at the same time.

I have tried to assign it the correct language and to restart the computer with no luck. I tried uninstalling the drivers in device manager and looking for updates, no luck.

Now I had to type this post on my phone due to this issue.

My theory, based on the letters that it types when I hit it being related to those used a lot in Dota 2 (e.g. Eqbvrxt, accidentally hitting caps lock), is that I somehow accidentally "recorded" and assigned new letters to the keyboard letter "d" during the game. If this is even possible, I have no clue how I did it.

Please reach out to a keyboard noob.

Hi Russell,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that certain keys on the keyboard are not working properly on the pc. I will try to help you with this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

  Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?
  
• 
  Have you performed a full pc virus scan on the system recently?
  

Suggest you to launch the on-screen keyboard to check if the issue persists.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean startup procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
