What the "L"

Yesterday it was mouse problems. Today the letter L is sticking. I need to clean my keyboard I guess.
For a while it just stayed part way down, and would write an 'l" when I pushed down. THEN it got stuck and made lines of the letter L like this: "llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll" I had to pry the key up with a tweezer. It seems to be working now though.

@owlwings I should have seen that coming. If I had not gotten it unstuck I would have been stretching my brain to find words with "No L".

@celticeagle Two things you could do: Run the corner of an envelope between the rows and turn your keyboard upside down and see what shakes out. Or you can vaccum it using the crevice tool.

@BarBaraPrz .....I don't have a crevice tool. I do turn it upside down occasionally.

It's time to get rid of the mouse and the keyboard - not the mouse that helps you to participate here but the one you know which one

I have no mouse in my house, so far. Keyboard had better realize that it must behave or be replaced.

@allknowing I did post about mouse problems, but it was the computer mouse that was causing me distress.

It took a little bit of effort, but well worth it.

Yes, I just got a new mouse, so I figured the keyboard might be jealous.

Some of the keys on my keyboard are a bit stiff too, but none has stuck like your L. Guess I better clean it again.

I hope it keeps working for you, I know that must get frustrating.

I will likely do some cleaning on it this weekend as a preventative.

I hate it when the keys start to go but usually it isn't the L!! I hope that it stays fixed.

I remember having that issue as a teen with our desktop. Boy was that annoying for a teen who loved chatting online to deal with .
Hope you have no more computer problems.
