    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    Arrow Keys and Spacebar Not Working in Games

    • Are the arrow keys and spacebar key working fine other than online and steam games?
    • Did you make any recent hardware/software changes prior to this issue?
    • Do you face this issue in all online games and steam games?
    • Have you checked if there are settings to change the controls in the game?

    1. Yes for scrolling it works fine

    2. Not that i am aware of

    3. Yes all that use arrow keys and even WASD keys so not just limited to arrows

    4. Yes and they are set to the right keys!

    I'm Currently trying the troubleshooting now
