I recently purchased a new AL75 keyboard from Taobao and since then, I've noticed some strange behavior with my PC. It sometimes keeps the control key pressed and occasionally triggers the scroll lock even when it's not active. Recently, typing has stopped completely, though keys like Shift and Win still register. I've tried using another keyboard and even after rebooting, the issue persists until I switch back to my original setup. Now I'm relying on the alternative keyboard until I can inspect it properly. If the problem continues with the other keyboard, what steps should I take next?

Near $70, but I don’t see any aluminum frames cheaper than $150 in my area.

If you're looking for an aluminium frame, I'm unsure which option is best. The HP GK320 would be my suggestion.

This implies you can't justify spending on an aluminum chassis keyboard. "Value follows price." Return it and consider an alternative.
