My NumLock hates arrows.

Post by Sukde » Fri May 21, 2004 1:41 pm

Erm so a while ago, my arrow keys started to feel... numb. They didn't always work or you had to press them really hard. I though they were just sticky or soon to be dead and that pissed me off a bit since this is a brand new keyboard (2 months approx).

But I realized yesterday that when taking off the NumLock (wich I use alot... I do some accounting on the computer and like those numbers.) my arrows keys work just fine.

Would that be because I clicked an option somewhere ? Or is it just my keyboard who independantly decided to be at war ? Thanks for the help !

which arrow keys? The numpad arrow keys turn to numbers when you have numlock on... thats actually the point of numlock, turning them into numbers.

Hrm no not my Numpad arrows. My normal Arrow keys. Hrm should have said so.

So to be precise: The Up, Down, Left, Right arrow keys that are right Under The Delete, End, Page Down keys.

There.

Sounds like they skimped on your keyboard.

Wait... So...
In the beginning the numlock + arrow keys worked fine....
Now... Numlock + arrow keys = Teh Poo.

Ummm... dunno about you, but I haven't heard of keyboards that decay in function in the period of 2 months....

Me neither... so I was just asking. Anyway now at least I know I need to remove NumLock to get them to work fine.

Seeing as how this thread doesn't give any usefull information to anyone.. please delete it mods.
