Hello there,
On a random morning my keyboard decided to act up. Almost the entire second row of the letter section stopped working. When pressed, some front buttons type 6 to 7 letters at once. The RGB light on the W button is also not functioning, but the other buttons work perfectly. The lights on the affected keys are all bright. I’ve owned this keyboard for four years without dropping it or getting anything wet, even in a humid room—I’m not sure that would affect a brand like Corsair. I tried resetting it hard, but nothing helped. Now the best option is to open it up or take it to a technician. Could you please share your thoughts on this?
Thank you in advance.

Have you reinstalled the keyboard drivers?
= = = =
Try using a different known working keyboard on your current system.
Check the K70 keyboard on another machine.
Check if the key issues are with the keyboard itself or remain with this computer.
Many devices come with an EOL (End of Life). This means they will eventually stop working as they approach the end of their support period.
The end of life date is often near the warranty expiration... [a bit of skepticism acknowledged.]

Update your post with complete system hardware details and operating system info.
Add PSU specifications: voltage, model, wattage, age, condition (original, new, refurbished, used)?
List all connected peripherals.
Is the network wired or wireless?
