Question Weird PC keyboard game issue

[notquitekate]

Was playing Cyberpunk when my preferred forward movement key, the forward arrow, started scrolling to face me straight up to the sky while still moving forward. Happens in all games now, indicating a PC keyboard issue rather than a game key bind issue. Have rebound relevant keys, checked NVIDIA updates, etc but my forward key still points me skyward. Any idea how to fix this? It's made gaming impossible on my laptop.

Welcome to the forum

Have rebound relevant keys

So you've rebound Forward from Up Arrow to another key, and this still happens?

Is there a way for looking skyward to be legitimately activated? Eg holding down a modifier key—Shift, Ctrl, Alt—with the Forward key? But then, shouldn't affect every game… weird.

Wait for an expert to drop by

So it spontaneously stopped! @Brian Boru I think you're right, I must have hit some sort of secret combo of keystrokes that activated that key for both forward AND up in my computer. Hopefully won't happen again...
