  1. MY M KEY IS ONLY WORKING WHEN I HOLD SHIFT


    Hello, I am experiencing an issue where my "M" key only works while pressing shift. Even the on-screen touch keyboard only inputs H if I first press the shift key. CAPS Lock enables me to type H in lowercase but the shift key must still be held down. Im on windows 11

    The m, c and shift keys on my laptop keyboard intermittently stop working.

    The m, c and shift keys on my laptop keyboard intermittently stop working.

    This always happens when the computer starts up from being completely shut down or after it has been in sleep or hibernate mode.

    To make m, c and shift keys work again, I press the m and k keys at the same time over and over again until the m key starts working. Then, I hold the m key down and just let it run for a while. After the m key starts working, I press and hold the
    c key and just let it run as well.

    After the process I just described and after the computer has been running for a while, the m, c and shift keys work just fine. If I close the laptop, which puts it in sleep mode, and leave it that way for a while, the problem returns when I
    open the laptop and try to use those keys again.

    I have tried a number of suggested fixes I have found on the internet. Including:

    Running the Windows 10 Keyboard Troubleshooter - No problem found.

    Sticky Key changes in Settings - No help.

    Updating keyboard drivers (to include Uninstalling Device) - Didn’t help.

    Starting the computer in Safe Mode - The m, c and shift keys don’t work here either.

    Running Windows update – No help.

    Updating my BIOS – No help.

    Cleaning the keys - No help.

    Using a USB connected keyboard – this works, no m, c and shift keys problems.

    The on-screen keyboard works just fine.

    All of the other keys on my keyboard work just fine.



    Any ideas?

    Shift key not working when holding down a key

    Hello,

    I got a new pc today and i realised i couldnt sprint properly in any games. I changed keyboards thinking that was the problem but I still wasnt able to sprint.

    When holding down a key and I press shift, the key i was holding will stop typing and nothing happens. I double tap shift (which sometimes works) and then the next keys will be an uppercase. or when i try get an uppercase letter, i hold shift and press the
    key once and it still wont work.

    I reinstalled the drivers, turned off sticky keys.

    If anyone could help me, that would be much appreciated!

    shift + m key not working!

    Hi. Recently my shift + 'm' key isn't working. I know for a fact it worked yesterday because I typed something using a capital m. I've restarted my computer. I've used other keyboards. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. I'm not sure what else
    to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    I'm running windows 10, just updated.

    Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2016 edition.

    I have not installed any software in the past week.
