Hello there,
I get this weird issue since forever and I never got how to get rid of it.
My keyboard "freezes" randomly during activities, mainly gaming. At that point I have to physically jiggle it and or lift it, and at that point all the inputs come together at the same time.
Any ideas?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Keyboard: make and model? What driver version is installed?

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer. Any error codes, warnings, or even informational events being captured just before or at the time of the keyboard freezes?

That said - if you have to physically jiggle or otherwise shake the keyboard that suggests that something may be physically amiss in the keyboard. Something has become loose.....

Try another known working keyboard on your computer.

Try the problem keyboard on another known working computer.

Determine if the problem follows the keyboard or stays with the computer.
