I have a month-old wireless keyboard (connected via cable) that has suddenly started behaving strangely. The Caps Lock seems to be reversed for the letter D, meaning when Caps Lock is on, 'd' appears as lowercase, and when it's off, 'D' is uppercase. When I hold Shift, it doesn't change the capitalization either. Interestingly, using the Fn key allows me to type 'd' correctly. This results in weird sentences like 'keyboarD' appearing as 'KEYBOARd'. Also, if I hold Fn + C, I can't type 'c'. Holding 'D' seems to capitalize the other letters. I'm baffled because I haven't spilled anything on it, and it's still clean. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That's definitely a strange issue! It could be a hardware malfunction. If it's still under warranty, it might be worth looking into a return or exchange. In the meantime, you could try cleaning the keyboard, just in case there's something causing it to misbehave.
It sounds like your keyboard might have a stuck key or a short circuit, especially since only one letter is affected. Have you tried plugging it into another computer? That can help you see if it's a problem with your keyboard or your OS. If it's still acting up, you might want to consider returning it or checking for any visible damage inside. Sometimes dust or small debris can cause weird keyboard behavior too.
