Hello, I'm trying to fix my keyboard. It sometimes works the D keys but other times it doesn't. The input feels erratic, making me press them repeatedly. What should I do?

What keyboard are you using? Have you recently cleaned it? There might be hair or dust trapped under the key caps... it can happen. I need to remove the keycaps and clean inside them.

If the mechanical keyboard has easy-to-replace parts like Cherry switches or similar, it might be fixable. Just make sure cleaning the switch doesn't cause further issues. Whether it's worth it depends: hot-swap boards are a yes, otherwise maybe not. For membrane keyboards, just replace them and look for alternatives.
