Conversely, ensure the wire is correctly fitted into the appropriate USB port on your computer for corded keyboards.

Reason 2. The Computer’s USB Port Is Faulty

Start by cleaning out the port. Since USB ports are left wide open, it’s likely for dirt to get caught in them. First, shut down your computer to clean your USB port and gently clean out accumulated debris with a thin plastic toothpick or a USB port brush like this.

Next, inspect the port for damage. You may do this by plugging the cord into the USB port and gently wiggling it in after it’s been fitted. If you notice the USB connector is bent or broken out of the board. It is advisable to take such an issue to a keyboard professional to fix.

Finally, if you notice damage to any of your USB ports, try another port. Most computers have at least three ports. You’re likely to find one works for your cord.

Reason 3. Dust Or Debris In the Keyboard Is Creating Issues

Use a small brush or blower to clean the keyboard surface and crevices. For a deeper clean, use a key puller tool to take out the keyboard keys and clean the internal components with any of the previously mentioned instruments or a cleaning gel. A keyboard cleaning kit like this contains all the necessary materials, making the cleaning process seamless and simple.

Reason 4. Number Lock or Different Language Settings are Causing Your Keys to Register the Wrong Characters

If you ordered your gaming keyboard from a foreign country, the settings could be causing the problem. Differences in language and computer settings could be causing an error and affecting your keyboard’s performance.

There’s usually an easy fix if your laptop is typing the wrong characters. First, ensure your NumLock key is turned off, which sets the keyboard characters into numbers. To disable the feature, press the “NumLock” key or the “FN” + “NumLock.” Our article is a useful step-by-step guide if you find your keyboard is typing numbers instead of letters.

If your keyboard still isn’t working, it is likely to have a language input problem. After connecting your gaming keyboard to your computer, adjust the language settings by accessing the “Settings” tab on your computer. Scroll down until you see an appropriate option and select the preferred language to effect the changes.

Reason 5. Computer Settings Like “Toggle Keys”, “Sticky Keys”, and “Filter Keys”, Are Causing a Problem

Toggle keys are designed for people with cognitive disabilities and visual impairments. The feature is enabled when your computer emits a sound when you press the “CAPS”, “NUMLk”, or “SCROLL Lock” keys.

“Sticky Keys” help those who have issues pressing multiple keys simultaneously. For instance, if you have problems using keyboard shortcuts or you’re playing a game that requires you to hold multiple keys, this feature helps you press the keys at the same time.

Finally, “Filter Keys” are an accessibility option to control the keyboard repeat rate. This feature adjusts the keyboard response rate and ignores repeated words produced by slow or inaccurate finger movements.

To turn off any of the features mentioned above, head to the “Settings” tab on your computer. Different software requires different methods of turning off the features. It’s advisable to look up the one that best suits your current computer.

Reason 6. The Software and Drivers for the Keyboard Are Not Up to Date

To update your keyboard software, visit the support page of your gaming keyboard brand. Next, click the category your keyboard belongs to and follow the necessary prompts till you get to an “Updates” tab. Finally, follow the required instructions to install the critical updates.

This particular issue may be solved by using a specific gaming keyboard. Take a look at our related article explaining the differences between a gaming vs. a regular keyboard for more detailed information.

Can a Mechanical Keyboard Be Repaired?

The ergonomic design gives mechanical keyboards a greater functional advantage than their membrane counterparts.

Yes, a mechanical keyboard can be repaired. Problems with individual keys can be addressed by cleaning or replacing the switches.

If you're considering switching to a mechanical model, our article highlights the best wireless mechanical keyboards you should consider. You could also check out our 10 best gaming keyboard options for budget-friendly corded options. You can address most issues with mechanical keyboards with a simple fix as they are usually minor hardware issues, so if you're having problems with your device and are wondering whether you can repair your mechanical keyboard, we have some great advice.

Mechanical keyboards are designed to last longer, and most problems are relatively easy to fix. As mentioned in this YouTube video tutorial, anyone can easily disassemble a mechanical keyboard. A dysfunctional key or switch is the most common issue with a mechanical keyboard. With the right tools and techniques, you can fix the problem yourself. However, if you are a bit unsure of how a keyboard works you should have it done professionally.

How To Clean or Replace a Switch on a Mechanical Keyboard

A dirty or defective switch may be the reason your gaming keyboard is not working. To better diagnose the issue, carry out a thorough inspection of your keyboard components. Click individual keys and note for resistance when pushing down the switches or unresponsive keys. If you experience any of the stated issues, chances are your keyboard switches are due for maintenance.

To clean or replace a switch, first, get the necessary maintenance tools, remove the mechanical keycaps and carefully clean the buttons underneath before putting the caps back on the board.

Step 1. Prepare Your Tools

Before you start the maintenance procedure, ensure the necessary tools are within reach. You'll need a keycap-switch puller, switch removers, compressed air, a cleaning solution, and a clean cloth. A cleaning tool kit like this contains the necessary removal and cleaning instruments.

Additionally, if you intend to replace your keycaps or switches with newer alternatives, make sure that you check what is available. Universal mechanical key caps like these and switches like these will serve as worthy upgrades. You could also check out our article on how to replace keyboard switches for a DIY guide on swapping out old keyboard switches.

Step 2. Remove the Keycaps

Once your tools are ready, you can get to work. Use the keycap-switch puller to carefully remove the caps from the board. Be sure to take a picture of your keyboard before removal or organize the removed caps chronologically to ensure you don't mess up the arrangement when putting the caps back on.

Step 3. Clean the Switches

Use compressed air like this to blow off light debris from your switches. Spray the air through the cracks and crevices of the switchboard. You could try angling the nozzle in different positions to ensure you reach every area of the board. However, be careful not to place the nozzle too close to the switches as the air pressure could dislodge or damage the components.

Step 4. Remove the Debris

Once you've blown off the lighter particles with the air duster, it’s time to clean out the heavier particles. Use a nylon brush to remove tougher stains and grime from the switchboard. It might take a while to remove dirt within the switches. However, it is critical to apply moderate pressure to avoid damaging the components.

Mix two parts of alcohol like this with one part of water to create the solution or get a ready-made cleaning fluid. Soak a clean cloth, preferably made with microfiber fabric like this, in the solution and wipe the damp cloth on the switchboard.

Step 5. Clean the Switch Stabilizers

A dirt buildup within or around the switch stabilizers could create friction and make the switches less responsive. You may use a cleaning brush or spray compressed air to dust off the stabilizers.

Step 6. Allow the Components To Dry

Once all the parts have been cleaned, leave them to dry for about an hour. It is critical to make sure the components are completely dry before reinstalling, as damp/wet parts could create more problems in the long run. Apart from air drying, you could additionally use a dry, clean cloth to wipe off the keyboard components.

Step 7. Reinstall the Caps

Gently push each cap onto its respective switch. If you can't recall the previous arrangement, refer to the keyboard picture you took before as a blueprint. It is advisable to work from left to right.
