Try plugging in a different keyboard and see if works, did you set it to a different format on accident?

1st...check and clean the pins.

2nd...Disassemble your keyboard as far as it will go safely. Insert in dishwasher's top rack. Be sure to take care of the cord. You don't want it to get damaged. Run the dishwasher with NO SOAP and NO HEATED dry.

Let your keyboard sit in front of a fan for 24 hours minimum. Re-assemble your keyboard and enjoy!

I hope this helps you! If there's anything else, feel free to ask!

It's usually best to shut down your machine when dealing with a plug-in device. USB devices, however, are not quite as finicky.

I would also suggest opening up the key board and checking the plastic layer that is the contacts for each key. With a eraser head from a pencil clean anything that looks dirty. Any contacts or traces.

Edit: Forgot to add. Usually if you cannot open task manager either with keyboard or right clicking your task bar and selecting it from where a virus or a virus you may have removed before disabled it for your account.
