    This has been happening on and off for a while now.My keyboard Razer Blackwidow Elite will randomly stop inputting letters for most applications. Now there are a couple of strange things about this that have completely confused the hell out of me:Letters and numbers do not work, but tab, windows key, function buttons, etc. do workI cannot type in most applications - Discord, Word, Firefox address bar - but I CAN type WITHIN a webpage, eg. the Google search bar on google.comThis happened regularly every day for a few weeks, then it stopped for a good month or two, and now it has started hap

    my keyboard desktop numbers key not responding

    Hi,

    There are two number keys on a keyboard, the Number Pad found at the right-side of the keyboard and the ones above the letter keys. We'd like to ask a few questions to help us identify why it's not responding:

    • Were there any newly installed updates or applications on the device?
    • Are you able to remember when did it start happening?
    • What have you done so far to resolve this?
    • Which number keys are unresponsive, above the letter keys or the Number Pad?

    Keyboard types letters instead of numbers when inputting card details

    Hi. When I input a card number online, my keyboard (both the numberpad and the overhead numbers) will type the first few digits and then switch to letters. The letters in question appear irrespective of the key that is pressed and they cycle through the
    alphabet from the beginning (abcde etc) until they finally revert to numbers again, allowing me to continue my purchase.

    I am using Windows 10 (home). Here is a snip of my computer's details:

    This is particularly worrying since it only seems to occur when inputting credit/debit card details. It has only happened (along with various other bugs) since switching to Windows 10.
