My computer is being really weird help!

One of your shift keys is stuck.

Try a different keyboard, or hitting your shift keys repeatedly to see if you can get it to unstick =)

Your Shift key may be stuck. Try banging the shit out of it.

Stuck shift key?

Are you using a KVM by chance? Using one keyboard and mouse for 2 or more Pcs. If so try reseting the KVM. Also, try to do a ctrl+alt+del and then hit escape.

It works!! It feels so good to be able to use good grammar :)

@erichw1504 I love it.

@ChocolateReigns What fixed it?

Pressing Shift over and over again really fast, trying to get it unstuck. It worked! I had a hard time believing it was stuck because it looked like it wasn’t lower than normal or anything. It was strange.

@ChocolateReigns At the risk of explaining too much, there’s a little switch under each key that’s actually independent of the key itself. So we have a little sandwich that looks like this:

Key
Spring
Switch
Board

So it’s possible for a key to spring OK, and the switch itself to be stuck. Unless you’re on a really fancy keyboard, like a Model M keyboard, you’re not going to be able to feel the clicky of the Switch, just the end of travel of the key.

Huh. Interesting. Apparently a keyboard has never broken in my house because if it had I would know that! (We take apart practically all the broken electronics)
