Unhappy Keyboard dropping letters
Hey guys my keyboard has been acting up recently but I'm pretty sure its a software issue. When ever I'm trying to type letters will randomly be dropped or it will refuse to type some letters all together. Like if I was to try typing the letters A through Z, it will usually show up with like 5-10 letters missing. It is very annoying when trying to log into things or when playing games. It's only been happening in the last few days or so. I've tried removing the keyboard from device manager and then reinstalling it, and obviously restarting the computer. I've tried replacing the batteries on my keyboard and using a different keyboard to no avail. Even in typing this message there were a lot of issues in some sentences and then others it will be fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Try Pluging in a cable keyborad to see if it dose it with a cable one and if it dose then it might be sotfware or your keyborad

I have tried using a cable keyboard, the one that came with my computer. But there is no difference.

Hello! Press the "Fn" key and the "Num Lk" keys at the same time...that should fix it!

Thanks for the reply but holding down those two keys does not fix it. Its not even for the same issue.
