I cleaned under the keys and realized that nothing was physically wrong with the keyboard. Last night I logged on to the PC and found that the entire lower row of keys was not working (Z-? on US or QWERTY keyboard layout). It would randomly turn on as if a key was depressed or the mouse was clicked. I didn't have time to deal with it at the moment, but I sensed there was possibly a stuck key, as the PC would not stay in Sleep mode. I clicked the Start to put the PC to sleep and it randomly started inputting characters "VBNM,?" in random patterns in the Search Windows box. I went out and did some outside work and then returned to use the PC about one hour later. sorry if my rant was a little biased but I grow sick of having to rebind my movement controls every time I play a game for the first time.I started my PC yesterday and everything was working fine.
I wouldn't know how to deal with that short of rebinding them or buying a new keyboard if its a hardware problem. On the other hand, if there are other useful keys on the middle row as well as right-handed movement, that's a really bad problem. I only say "like you are meant to" as many older games did default to cursors (although for some stupid reason, left and right turned instead of strafed by default) as developers may not have realised some people can't use a mouse in their left hand, as well as mice not being standard back then which resulted in crappy aiming in games like doom made worse by system shock 1 and ultima underworld's "Pathways into Darkness while drunk" method i.e clicking on-screen to turn and look up/down ect. what I don't like is most games or at least some of them defaulting to WSAD without the cursors as a secondary like Half Life 2, Marathon or ROTT 2013. we have them for a reason other then moving text cursors though it is alright to use WSAD. (at least by old game's standards) I am fine with people playing with WSAD if they want and I can use the mouse right-handed myself (though I write with my left) but I only use the mouse left handed when gaming as I need to use the cursor keys. I would suggest just playing with the cursor keys like you are meant to.
