so my shift and ctrl key stopped working. was playing games, went to sleep and put my pc to sleep as well. came back, ctrl and shift is not working now. i have uninstalled razer synpase, did nothing, i have restarted my pc twice, worked the first time for like 5 min, then it happend again, i tried different usb ports, nothing. i tried to set it as a different key in razer synpase, disable it save it, then enable it and save it , did nothing as well. PLEASE help. Its awful. I cant just ctrl or shift.

EDIT
I manged to fix it, kinda. I have to remove the keys, clean them, and the keyboard, and then put them back and it works. Tho they stopped working after a few hours but I did the same thing and they work again. So my keyboard works now.
 
Hey so I was having trouble finding this post so I could correct it since Im new but since you commented it popped up with a notification, so thanks. anyway, I fixed it.
All I have to do is remove both keys, clean them, then put them back. They started working for a few hours, then it happend again. So I did the same, removed them, cleaned them, and wola, it works. I will get some alcohol tomorrow and clean my keyboard and I will see if it re occurs.
