Question keyboard on laptop pressing wrong keys
For the last two days, my keyboard on my laptop is acting strange. It sends weird signals like pressing two keys at once even though they are actually connected together. What does this mean? If I press "a", it types "aj". If I press "j", it also types "aj". The same thing happens with "q" typing "qm" and the same for "m". Even function key works like fnc+h. And the h button does too. Tab acts as tab+y, but on a notepad it puts a space instead of just moving to the next line. Most buttons work fine, but there are about six or seven that don't. Yesterday I had this problem too and it fixed itself at random time, but today in the morning everything worked okay until night again started happening like before. I removed keyboard drivers from device manager and it didn't fix anything. Then I restarted my laptop randomly and it got fixed for a while, but after ten minutes the keys went back to being broken. I am so confused what could cause this issue and how specific key buttons get linked and matched together. Even though I uninstalled Armoury Crate that Asus has on there, nothing changed at all. I haven't installed anything or downloaded new drivers in three days and I still have no idea why this is happening. I even tried running windows with safe boot enabled but the same problem is still there.
From what you've explained the issue might very well be with the keyboard on said laptop and would require a replacement. You might want to try and use an USB driven keyboard and see if the issue replicates on the external keyboard. You've mentioned Armory Crate and Asus, so I'm assuming it's an Asus ROG laptop. Might want to pass on the model to said laptop, an SKU would help. In the interim period, check and see if your laptop has any BIOS updates pending. Laptop is yet under warranty?
Tomorrow I will try using an external keyboard to see if the problem happens again. This is my ASUS Rog laptop, and the model number is GL504GV. The laptop has been updated to its newest version. But right now, when I type, the keyboard works fine. Then one random day later, it acts up all of a sudden because it's completely random. That's why it happened yesterday—I was playing a game and noticed that while pressing Q, the key actually pressed M instead. Today, something similar happened at some point. Maybe could it be the thin wire connecting the keyboard to the motherboard inside?
Because it's a little hard to understand, I'll share 3 short video clips. Here they are: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MfhRj7eyo9g, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-yeBL1li9Tg, and https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4RqROA1qHFE
