Keyboard not working

FIXED THANKS GUYS :D

So today, just before my match, my keyboard started being weird. Most of the keystrokes wouldn't register when I typed or would be completely different from what they usually did (they were sending strange characters). First, my capslock was stuck on and backspace wouldn't work. Then most of the keys starting doing completely random symbols for no reason.

I have tested nearly every port and multiple keyboards yet the issue stays. I have also tried the on-screen keyboard, and it won't even type! So I can't even log in right now. Please help. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.

Very strange, but if you have system restore enabled try to roll it back a couple days before the issue. It's better than pulling your hair out trying to trouble shoot and research what the cause might be.

Also you can try pressing NumLock, checking to make sure in your task tray things are set to English, and in your computers keyboard and region settings make sure its set to English.

And the obvious IT crowd reference "Did you try turning it off then back on again?"

Biggest issue right now is how do I even log in? I have a PIN on my account and I can't enter it

Ahh shit, didn't realize you had a pin.

That's good to hear. Just for safety's sake, might wanna run some virus scans/malaware scans to see if there is something shady on your computer that caused that whole strange situation.

Alright so I think it might be my keyboard. Right now I restarted with a different keyboard and it seems fine. On my mechanical keyboard the function key is constantly on and I can't seem to turn it off. Any ideas how I could do that? Or is the keyboard just fucked? I bought the keyboard about a month ago so this is kinda sad. I could probably contact CMStorm and see if they could send me another one.

Do you have another computer you can test the broken keyboard on? See if there are any issues there

Fn+Numlock? Does that shut it off?
