I've been having a strange issue with my laptop keyboard recently. Specifically, the S key and Z key seem to malfunction while I'm gaming. Sometimes they just stop responding for a bunch of presses, or they react multiple times when I only press them once. Most of the time, everything works fine, but then out of the blue, they glitch. I've already tried cleaning the keyboard and uninstalling the drivers about a month ago, but nothing has changed. I'm running Windows 11 on a laptop, and I haven't tampered with the hardware. This is driving me nuts! Any advice?

If it's just a couple of keys that are not responding correctly, you may be looking at a defective keyboard situation. If replacing it is an option for you, it might be worth that investment to avoid the hassle. Just double-check to see if your laptop is still under warranty before you make any purchases!
It sounds like your keyboard might be acting up. A good first step is to try using a different keyboard if you have one available. If that works perfectly, then it's likely your keyboard that's defective. If your keyboard has removable switches, consider swapping out the faulty key switches with ones that you rarely use—this might save you from needing to buy a new one.
