Keyboard triggering wrong key when pressed.

Question

Keyboard triggering wrong key when pressed.

Anonymous

This problem occurs at complete random but is mostly noticeable with the "wasd" cluster of keys. Primarily whats happening is when I press a key it will sometimes trigger another key. For instance pushing "e" will trigger "6" or "7" at random. I've tried some trouble shooting already: Tried other keyboards, tried other usb slots, check the input language of the computer, checked the software associated with the keyboard, basically I've done everything short of re-installing windows 7. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Are you facing this issue while working with Microsoft office products or with all programs?
What is the make and model of the keyboard?
Have you tried turning off “Num Lock” button to the right hand side of the keyboard?

I would suggest you to check the issue with Onscreen keyboard and see if it is working.
