Hey everyone! I've been having some trouble with my keyboard lately. The arrow up key just stopped working out of the blue, and I'm not sure why or how to fix it without reinstalling Windows. I've already tried a couple of different keyboards, and the issue seems to persist. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to solve this?

Maybe try changing the keyboard language settings? Sometimes that can mess things up.
It sounds like your keyboard might not be the issue, especially since you've tried others. I highly recommend checking for Windows updates, including optional ones. If you haven't done already, look for the drivers and firmware for your device directly from Microsoft. That could help with any underlying software glitches.
What do you mean by 'directly from Microsoft'? Are you suggesting I need special drivers?
Let me try some of these ideas to see if I can get it working again!
By the way, I took a picture of my keyboard—does this behavior look normal to you?
It seriously feels like the key is deactivated or something—super weird.
Have you thought about popping off the arrow up key to check for any debris underneath? Sometimes dust or crumbs can cause keys to stop registering. Also, how old is your keyboard?
It seems like the key isn’t being recognized on Windows at all, which is strange.
Just to clarify, I've got a Roccat Vulcan II, and it's practically new.
But I’m having the same problem with every keyboard I have.
