I've had my Microsoft Sidewinder X4 keyboard for several years and it has served me well.
Recently a problem came up where the keys wouldn’t work as they were intended to. The keys are functioning to the press, but several letters have this weird output as such
Pressing “u” once gives me:
-+sag7dwqte\yi89
‘hk56f;rpouljZ|V4X?BM23C><N -wqte\yi89
Rpou
Pressing “j” once gives me:
+SAG7D’HK56F;LJ
Pressing “8” once gives me:
1326*4[79]5-08
Coincidentally they are all on the same strip downwards on the keyboard. Is this some sort of program or driver problem or is something physically spoil? I have tried deleting and installing the Microsoft keyboard drivers RPOULJTz|v4x?bm23c><n but to no avail.
