    Keys not working on keyboard

    Been playing WoW today and half way through raid my 2 keys bound to alt+1 and alt+2 stopped working completely. Pressing down those key combinations has no effect at all and just doesnt register (tried to rebind them, and wouldn't even take).

    I heard something about ghosting, but not too knowledgeable about that. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

    Its a brand new keyboard (got it last week) so I don't think the button itself broke, but not sure.

    Oh boy, those are pretty shitty keyboards.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a key did die on you, but you could try removing the keycap for those particular keys and cleaning them out with rubbing alcohol, with the board disconnected of course.

    Well my Alt Key works fine, I can do Alt+3, Alt+4 etc etc. and the 1 and 2 keys work as well, it's just the combo doesn't work which i'm not sure how to deal with.


    Okay, the key combo is working again now after I got home from work and tried it out..I guess giving it time allows them to function again? *shrug*

    It's sad that this doesn't surprise me.
