Keyboard problems frequently bother us and make our work inconvenient, so if your keyboard acts up, take the time to fix it. Here I will list some common keyboard problems and their solutions.
One, the keyboard can not work completely.
Step 1 Make sure you have inserted your keyboard into the computer correctly. If it is a USB device, try to unplug it from the current port and plug it to other USB ports.
Step 2 Many wireless keyboards need special drivers to drive them work regularly. So confirm that you have installed the proper driver for your device, to check it you can download a driver tool like Driver Checker for a free scan. Besides, for a Bluetooth device, you need to refer to the Bluetooth settings.
Step 3 Install your keyboard onto another computer. If it is still not working, maybe the device is defective, then consider to buy a new one or change one from the manufacturer if it is in the warranty time.
Note that if your keyboard is connected to a PS/2 connector, remember to shut down the computer before you connect or unplug this device.
Two, Windows is unable to recognize the keyboard or some keys.
