[SOLVED] Strange keyboard issues

[SethS]

So a few days ago my cat decided to jump on my keyboard and landed around the part where the enter/shift key is and now my keyboard has keys that don't work, and even one that swapped mapping strangely. So the strangest thing is that my cat landed on the right side of the keyboard, but the left ctrl switched to the capslock function, and now the real capslock no longer works. When I go to that website that maps your keyboard it shows that it doesnt recognize the caps lock anymore, but when I press the left ctrl, it's caps. Beyond that, the only other two keys that doesn't work now is the Fn key, which I used to control volume, and the windows key.

I just wanted to see if anyone had solutions that don't require me replacing it. It's a $300 keyboard and the warranty no longer applies - much thanks

Make and model to your keyboard? Perhaps the keyboard's own app to map keys needs fiddling? Some keyboards have a reset button. Unless we know what you're working with, we're left assuming and offering blind suggestions.

it's a yeston x varmilo va87. I can't find any user maula but some videos on other varmilo keyboard show holding down the Fn + esc, Fn + space will reset it, but I don't get any response from Fn

VA87/108 Caps lock and ctrl is switched, or Win key doesn’t work, or Win and FN is switched
method：Hold Fn down and press ESC about 4 seconds, if Capslocked backlight can flash 3 times, it means reset succeed. If FN and left WIN swapped,hold left WIN down, and press ESC about 4 seconds, capslocked backlight will flash 3 times.

One key reset;
Pressing Fn+D for more than 3 seconds, the CapsLock light flashes for three times, the keyboard will restore to default setting

You could look into this as well.

Hey, thanks so much. The Fn key didn't do anything when I held down with another key, but holding down the windows key+ esc actually worked!
