Suddenly after quitting a game (BF4), I went back into it an hour later and suddenly no keys work. The list of keys that work would be : Shift, Control, ALT and Delete.

However, I can hold shift and control and press all the keys. I had a dell keyboard lying around and attempted that and it doesn't work in-game. My main keyboard (Logitech G-510S) is not working either in-game.

I called Logitech support and they made me uninstall drivers, the application, restarting and unplugging in all types of ways but nothing is working.

I would really love any replies!
And I did tons of backgrounding before posting and people are saying how if you have any anti-virus software, uninstall. I have no anti-virus software due to gaming purposes and how it can affect it. Also people said to quit the Nvidia GeForce Experience and uninstall MSi Afterburner which I also did.

Specs of computer:
GPU: MSI Geforce 770 OC Edition
CPU: Intel i5 4670K 3.40GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB RAM DDR3
SYS: Windows 8.1 Pro edition, x64.

Games I've tried:
- Battlefield 4 (Origin)
- Titanfall (Origin)
- The Forest (Steam)

Keyboards I've tried:
- Logitech G510S (Main keyboard I first experienced problems with)
- Dell Keyboard (Secondary that i took out to check if it was the logitech keyboard that was malfunctioning)

All replies are appreciated, thank you in advance.
 
Hey,
I'm confused on whether it's only BF4 or whether the other games don't work.

If it's only BF4 then it's an issue with that game, in which case you could try to verify the game data through Origins.

If it's all games, then the first thing I'd try is a System Restore rollback:
1) Go into System Restore
2) Make a NEW restore point
3) Rollback to the first point BEFORE the problem started

Other:
- Check Device manager for any conflicts.
- if really stuck, try a PS2 adapter
- Did you REBOOT your computer since the problem started?
- try reinstalling the MAIN CHIPSET driver for the motherboard
- verify main memory with MEMTEST www.memtest.org (full pass is about 30min for 8GB)

*Please specify WHERE the keyboard doesn't work. One or all games? Does it work in a word processor?
 


It's all games. Battlefield 4, Titanfall and a few others. It works outside of all games. That's how I typed my report.

1. No problems in driver manager.
2. Rebooted tons of times.

I'll be trying the others In a few.
