Just because it never has happened to you doesn't mean it can not happen. You seem to think like this a lot. There are plenty of reasons why the keyboard can behave like this, two of them being either the flash is going bad or there is some kind of physical damage to the traces on the PCB.

@OP: Try booting into a Linux live disk and seeing if the problem persists. I suggest https://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ and burning the ISO to a DVD. Alternatively you can try software like unetbootin to mount the ISO onto a USB thumb drive so you can boot from that if your computer does not have a DVD drive. Once done, insert it into your computer and boot from it. Without installing it should drop you into a graphical environment where you can open a web browser, or a note pad to test if the keyboard is functioning.

This would eliminate the factor of it being a windows specific problem or if the keyboard is really defective. I would also attempt to try alternate USB ports on the computer.




Get over yourself. OP said nothing about spills.

I think that my left collumn is dead, so something must have happened inside the keyboard like circuitry failed.

Cause the only things that don't work are ESC, ², TAB, Caps Lock, Shift and CTRL rest is fine.

I guess need to check with provider



Have you blown the dust out of the keyboard...ever? Your last post, does indeed sound like a column is possibly shorting out, or cross connected.

Dust or a potato chip fragment, DOES happen a lot, on any companies keyboard. :)

I assume you quoted the wrong person?

Hardly.

Like I said...I doubt the keyboard is broken. Traces just don't arbitrarily ...move around. Until post #28 all we knew was that when OP hit ESC it acted like F11.

But you mentioned spills, and I never mentioned anything about a spill. I think you meant to quote the post after mine.

Also traces don't have to "move" (cough they cant cough) to short out.

I think you need to go back and reread some posts and understand what was said in them.

Yeah, any 10 year old can come back after the OP has calmed down, 20 some posts later, and actually posted the problem...not the guesses. No one is fooled. :/

I would also think the OP would know and would post if he had spilled something on the keyboard. :/

Try to keep you posts...non - personal. Ya know, like an adult.

My posts are not personal, I simply requested you reread a few posts back because you seem to be mixing up some facts.

I did not say anything about a spill.

I can't tell if you are just trolling right now or if you actually think you are posting coherently.

I can't even decipher what this means or how it is related to what I said.

It looks like people have already gone through all the possible options I can think of. Only other option is to see if your local Ducky retailer can help you out or to contact Ducky customer support directly.

Ah, my bad. Yes, I see that I included the "spilled" remark in my response to the above... very personal statement.

The "get over yourself" part was to your comment. Which I did quote.

The " OP said nothing about spills." was supposed to be to Z97, which I forgot to quote.



Sorry for the confusion. :/

Hi guys,

My keyboard just got crazy since 20 minutes, I don't really understand what's happenning.
So I have a Ducky Shine 4, it all started when I was playing a game and then suddenly when I was typing any key, it would just copy some random words like for example if I press num lock it'll copy that : HQSDFGJKL M%4%gqsdfhjkl m4HQSDFGJKL M%4hqsdfgjkl mù4

As you can see everytime it's a lil bit different, I don't understand really. Same goes for ctrl, whenever I press it, my scroll lock is also activating.

Any of CTRL shortcut don't work, like CTRL + T for my chrome not working etc..

My ESC is acting as F5, F11 etc.. Tried to restart my computer, unplug my keyboard, not working, uninstall keyboard in windows, reset to factory default directly on the keyboard, any of these are working

Any help would be appreciated :(


Most likely you spilled water of some liquid over it. Open it and check it out, clean both the plastic and the circuit board and retry.

The problem started 20 minutes before he posted. I would think he would know if he spilled something on it.
