  1. My left ctrl key stopped working, and the right ctrl key is pressing both keys


    Hello fellow members, so I recently bought a new keyboard because I got a gaming PC, and probably 2 weeks into using this keyboard, during gameplay. the left ctrl key for some reason stopped working, and all of a sudden both ctrl keys were being pressed at the same time (and it didn't stop), I don't know what happened but that problem is gone, but the left ctrl key is still not working, and I found out that the right ctrl is simultaneously the left ctrl key, I don't get it, please help me if you can people, thank you so much.

    :)

  2. Left CTRL key only works together with the left SHIFT key

    Hello,

    Starting from today while I was using FL Studio to copy some musical notes I noticed Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V weren't working

    I've opened the on-screen keyboard in order to check if the left CTRL key was working and pressing it alone doesn't show any input.

    But. when I tried to first press the left SHIFT key holding it and then pressing the left CTRL key together. both keys showed input. (right CTRL key works fine)

    Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

    I've already tried to uninstall the keyboard's driver and then restarting the PC but it didn't work.

    Best regards,

    Me

  3. Windows Key + CTRL + Right Doesn't Work (Desktop Switch)

    Hi,

    I love the new multiple desktops. However, the desktop switch isn't working for me.

    It's an odd bug...

    Windows Key + (left) CTRL + Right Arrow Key will not work, but Windows Key + (left) CTRL + Left Arrow Key will work.

    Both the left and right arrow keys work when I use the right CTRL key, and the left CTRL key works perfectly fine using an external keyboard.

    Any suggestions?

    Both Ctrl keys randomly stopped working: I've using a Dell laptop for years and out of nowhere, both Ctrl keys stopped working. Sometimes if I mash it repeatedly, it'll start working for a few uses before failing again. I haven't done anything significant that I feel would cause this, it truly came out of nowhere....
