    Letter F in my keyboard suddenly became much harder to press compared to all other keys....


    Hello,
    it is hard to press the F letter compared to both D and G. it is not smooth.

    is there anyway to fix this?


    I have cleaned my F key but it is still heavier than other keys.


    Here is summery for the problem to the best of my ability:

    1. as you can see in the videos could not attach, key is working, but needs harder pressing.
    2. also, if I pressed the side of the key or the corner of the key, it usually doesnt detect that it is pressed; the other letters are much easier to press even in their side or corner
    3. Once the key is pressed, it becomes easier to press again, but still heavier than other keys.
    4. Once I leave key for some time, the key is again harder to press.

    :)

    Possible to make shift key stick until letter is pressed?

    It;s a bit cumbersome, but if you open the OnScreen Keyboard and press the Shift key, highlighting it, and type a letter on the OSK or on your keyboard, it will type the letter in Upper Case and then go back to Lower Case for any remaining letters you type. Of course, you could just press the Caps Lock key on your keyboard, type a letter and then turn Caps Lock Off for the remaining letters, just as well.

    The alphanumeric keys by default when pressed give numbers instead of letters

    Hi,

    To assist you better, answer the below question.

    1. What is the model number of the laptop?

    2.Did you try connecting a external keyboard check if the issue persist?

    As an initial step of troubleshooting, I suggest you try connecting an external keyboard and check if it the issue persist.

    Also, I suggest you check if the issue persist on-screen keyboard.

    I suggest you to try the below method and check if it helps.

    Method:Hardware and devices troubleshooter

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your mouse.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all
      option on the left panel.
    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    Also,I suggest you to install any pending updates that are available on your system and check.

    Go to Settings > Update & Security >Windows Update > Check for Updates.


    Hope the information was helpful. If you need further assistance, we will glad to assist you.
