    Today, my keyboard started to work weird:

    When I press "q" it writes "q" with a TAB following.
    When I press "e" it executes CTRL"B".
    When I press "r" it writes "rt".
    When I press "t" it writes "rt".
    When I press "y" it writes "uy".
    When I press "u" it writes "uy".
    When I press "i" it writes "i+".
    When I press "a" it writes "á".
    When I press "e" it executes F7.

    i cant type like this

    i did system restore, dint helped. i also found one one old forum post with exact same problem but post is died.

    I typing from my laptops internal keyboard witch one is fine to work. but i have connected laptop at home to external devices, HD monitor and etc, so im very uncomphortable to use laptops keyboard.

    So my external desktop keyboard failed. Keyboard is like 2-3 monts old its still new and good condition.

    since i found exacly same problem by someone, is kinda weird..

    Any ideas how to fix it?

    Hi,

    The best I can suggest is to blow (yes blow, quite hard) between the keys as it sounds like some dust/fragments have got caught under the keys.

    I would still do it just to make sure that debris hasn't got trapped between 2 keys causing them to press @ the same time.

    Either the keyboard is dirty or it has failed. Can you take it apart and gently clean it?

    You may well lose warranty, use the blow tactic (I can't believe i'm saying that) and if you still have issues then a replacement wont cost you anything :)
