*KEYBOARD PROBLEM* My c key does not work when holding other keys

[noahflashback]

When typing or playing a game, my c button does not work, for example when walking forward in rainbow six siege I will try to crouch and it will not work. When holding down a key it will not register me pressing c. This problem only applies my to my c key. Also when not pressing any other key my c key does work.

How old is your keyboard? What type?

How old is your keyboard? What type?

Its an off brand mechanical keyboard (don't actually remember the exact keyboard) and about half a year old

I can't say for sure in your case, but on most keyboards i have such problems, the mechanics are worn out.
Even though your keyboard is "new"-ish, i'd still assume a mechanical problem. But even if not, it is a problem of your keyboard, and the chances of fixing that are close to zero... 🙁

I don't know if visiting the shop you bought that at is really worth the while - with an expensive gaming-keyboard with golden space-bar and bling-bling it would be a bit different - , but if this annoys you, the best advice i can give is: Buy a new one.
(if you consider this, becoming adventurous and checking it by opening it is ok... :-D)

This depends a lot on your budget, if you are a pupil with your spare money coming from selling matches, i would reconsider...

Best thing to try at this point is to borrow a keyboard to narrow it down and see if it is your keyboard that's faulty, then buy one if it is. But really if it's just a bog-standard, no-frills keyboard you can get them for pocket money these days so just buy one anyway.
