  1. Keyboard not working properly, "missing" key functionality


    As of 6/18/2020 Windows automatic update, my keyboard is missing some characters...

    5, 6, - and + as well as the control button and delete button are not working and do not produce characters or input.

    To create most of these, I must use the NumLock mode and find them in the number keypad cross section of the keyboard.

    There is no workaround for the delete and control buttons. What can I do? I tried updating and reinstalling the keyboard driver to no avail.

    :)

  2. 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...

  3. Windows 10 function keys not working properly

    Hi Brianna,

    I suggest you to Uninstall and Reinstall the Keyboard Drivers and see if it helps.

    Step 1: Uninstall the Keyboard Drivers

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
    • Search for the Keyboard from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove
      the corrupted drivers from the computer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
    After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

    Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

    Step 2: Go to the Computer manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Keyboard and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
