Resading thisa posat looksa like I’m trying to tsalk wqith sa bsad Itsallisan saccent. But I’m not kidding hesar.
Swap out your keyboard for a different one (or plug in an external if you’re on a laptop). If the problem goes away, you’re golden. If not, you have a problem with your machine.
Hmm, from what I can tell from your post the problematic keys are W, S, X, and A (how about Q and Z?). Which all lie in adjacent columns. Since the electronics detect each keypress by its row and column (example herefor anyone who’s interested), it seems to me suggests to me that there’s some sort of hardware fault, perhaps a short circuit between the two columns?
My guess is keyboard as well. It would be very odd for this to be a software issue, or even a hardware issue external to the keyboard (though I’d call this more likely than the OS).
A keyboard costs as little as 10US at Office Depot or 1-2 at the Salvation Army.
That’s what you need.
Swapped out the keyboard for a $5 Big Lots model I had in the attic.
It works just fine.
Strange, I’ve never had a keyboard do that before.
Also, I just bought that other keyboard back in November. Little soon for something to go to hell if you ask me.
If your W, S, X and A keys were going out…its probably time to lay off the first person shooters a bit!
I’ve had weird stuff like that happen after a spill. When it started, you weren’t drinking coffee by any chance, were you? Usually just goes back to normal once it dries.
Pkbites, I’m glad your problem worked out, but I gotta tell you - reading your OP gave me one hell of a laugh. Best one I’ve had today!
