NOT HARDWARE******Razer Blackwidow V3randomly while using the keyboard, any key I press will act as if it is being pressed continuously, and once I press that key again it will stop. For example, I will be playing a game and I will tap "S" for 1 second to move backward briefly but it will continuously move me backward, and if I'm pressing "D" to move right I will then begin to move back-right, so south-east, once I tap the "D" key again it returns to normal. There is no physical damage to the keyboard, and it happens to multiple keys. It's so random it's impossible to track. this began about a

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

• 
  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Switch layout via screen keyboard in one tap

Hi Mikhail,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Which version of Windows you are using?
• Which is the default keyboard language you use?
  

You can follow these steps to switch between the keyboard layouts:

1. Tap on the Windows key on your keyboard, search for control panel.
   
2. Tap on Languages > on the left pane, select Advance settings.
   
3. Tap on ‘Change language bar hot keys’ under switching input methods.
   
4. Go to the second tap: Advance key settings.
   
5. Select the language To English > click on Change key sequence.
   
6. Check the box: Enable key sequence.
   
7. Select the shortcut keys you would like to use under the drop down menu along with the key and click on Ok.
   
8. Click on apply and Ok.
9. Restart the PC and try the shortcut keys now.
   

This should change the keyboard layout language with the shortcut keys we have setup.

Hope it helps.

CTRL key acts as if it's stuck?

Hey!

I'm running Windows 10, and for a few weeks now, it has been acting as if the CTRL key is jammed. I replaced my keyboard with multiple others, and the problem persisted. I read a few forums, and one suggested to press both CTRL keys at the same time,
which only worked once. Then, another said to open the virtual keyboard. This showed clearly that the keys were indeed held down, but I couldn't deactivate them from there, so it really didn't help. Are there any fixes to this?
