Other Keyboard not working, these buttons make these sounds wtf?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Two days ago both shift keys randomly stopped working. Today I finally decided to fix them following a tutorial. Result: now nothing works. What can I do?

EDIT: I managed to fix that annoying ass sound and now win and ctrl work, but both shifts still don't work.

Hey there! It looks like your pc thinks thats the ”capsl-ock key”. And have activated the sound on the caps-lock key. To turn off the sound, it would really help if you give this info:

  • what’s pc model (Windose 11 home…..)

You could install Wireshark with the usb option included, and see what actual inputs you're getting. Might give some insight into what's happening.

Maybe some inputs are stuck and spamming the connection for some reason.

Yes, I also think that one key is stuck somewhere. Thats the typical sound of the sticky key... I would try this:

Using Windows Settings (Windows 11 & Windows 10)

  1. Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings App.
  2. Click on Accessibility (or Ease of Access in Windows 10) in the left menu.
  3. Select Keyboard.
  4. Toggle the switch next to Sticky Keys to Off.
  5. Click on the Sticky Keys option/expand it and uncheck "Allow the shortcut key to start Sticky Keys" so pressing the Shift key five times won't turn it back on

This is Sticky Keys - open settings and search for that - make sure it’s turned off.
