Hi there, im a newb around here but i thought if anyone has experienced my problem, it would be you guys or at least know of it. I have a saitek gamer keyboard and i have had it for about a year or so and generally have not had any problems with it until just right now.

Basically i went to go and play some TF2 and when i got in game i noticed i could not move forward when i pressed my UP arrow key but pretty much could do any other thing. I could move backwards, shoot with the enter key, yadda yadda. So i though some cruel admin has used one of the various mods out there to fuck around with my configs, but no dice. Even outside of steam my up arrow keey will not respond, like scrolling up a page and now have noticed my left key does not work either.

Could this just ultimately be the keyboard all the sudden deciding to die on me? Could this be cause by the pc itself? I have no idea and hope someone has some advice please. Just a quick note, if my UP arrow key does respond, it will just type out the letters GH or think it is the F4 key.

Ok, now its just getting plain wierd...now when i press the UP arrow it opens up the address bar and types in GH as well, what the heck.
 
That is very strange... so it is just the arrow key? nothing else? You could just switch to using WASD?
 
Right now it is the left arrow key and up arrow key that are not responding like they should. I looked in the device manager and the keyboard has a yellow arrow next to it, but all it says is that its drivers need to be re-installed, however i never installed the drivers when i got it. I think i tried WASD in game and the w didnt work either, but outside of game W is fine :(.
 
Try another keyboard. If the problems persist with the different keyboard, then it has to be your game or OS playing with you.
 
i have no choice, gonna have to be a whole new keyboard and hope for the best. i tried downloading some drivers from saitek but it wont install, oh well.
