Good bye my once working well keyboard

Philippines

Hello there It was yesterday when my keyboard started malfunctioning. It caused me to panic when I couldn’t log in to my laptop. I thought some one hacked the password. I tried to removed and cleaned it but it was to no avail. When ever I tried to clean the keys, the V would come out as N in the screen. I checked some pics to make this post and realized that I bought this back in 2019. So, it’s been six years since I had this keyboard. Now my new keyboard arrived, it’s time to let this one go. It was good run six years. Mom had beg me for new replacement for a while now. Have a nice day

I guess it has given you good services and it also needed to retire

Hello @cherigucchi Yes it did. My only mistake is that I didn't put a plastic on it for protection from dust.

I hate when that happens, I know the feeling I used a onscreen keyboard for a long time & I NEVER shut my computer down so I don't have to worry about logging in I let it go to sleep.

Hello @2ndchances24 I am not sure about that. That would certainly kill my laptop if that ever happens.

@Letranknight2015 what would kill your laptop? I use it on mine & my desk top.

Six years is an impressive lifespan for a keyboard! It definitely earned its keep, even if it pulled a last-minute stunt with that V-to-N trick. Good thing your new one has arrived—your fingers deserve the treat. And hey, looks like your mom knew what she was talking about all along!

@Letranknight2015 Well, I think with a bit of savings and persistence, you might just be able to replace that one with a new one.

It really gave in @rsa101. Sadly, what I really want replace is my laptop since it's more than ten years old now.

At least now the problem is solved My laptop is also old, probably over 6 six years and it still works fine. Sometimes if I open more software, then it will be slow. Besides, I have no more complaints about it.

I never really knew until I checked the picture of the keyboard when it was still new @rakski

We have a computer in our house too. We changed our keyboard maybe a year or two years ago.

Maybe you use your computer way too often @cabuyogty that the keyboard eventually gave in.

@Letranknight2015 I didn't use the computer in our house way too often , my mother and my niece always use the keyboard and my brother to play his PC games if he's day off from his work

@Letranknight2015 I hope you're right. Six years was a long time for a keyboard, though.

@Letranknight2015 , I bought it cheaply too at 32,000 pesos, a Lenovo brand. I already bought a new laptop, an Acer laptop.

It's okay @Deepizzaguy it was bound to be replaced anyways. I just found a way to prolonged it because I couldn't afford to buy one.

Keyboards definitely do not last forever. I know this firsthand. Very frustrating when they do, though.

They were some keyboards that don't last after 2 years @porwest somehow this one made it this far.

@Letranknight2015 The ones built into laptops are the worst. I can't get them to last at all. I am using an external keyboard on mine as we speak.

You have to keep it very well so that it serves as inspiration.

Meh, it has to go @emelas like all of the old devices here. I have gotten rid of most of them now.

It always seems to be the row of letters where the V and N are that begin to malfunction for me too. Hope you like your new keyboard.
