Question W key just doesn't work if I press it down hard enough

[supbro85]

Recently my keyboard just doesn't respond to pressing the key "w" if I press hard enough (which isnt even that hard) my other keyboards are fine but this one just doesn't work

Make and model keyboard? Age, condition?

Do other keyboards work? Does the current keyboard work on other computers?

May be some piece of dirt or debris involved.

Unplug the keyboard and hold the keyboard upside down over a cloth or paper towel. Firmly but gently tap the ends of the keyboard with the heel of your hand. Doing so might dislodge some gunk blocking keyboard's "W" key.

Next option is to pull the cap off of the "W" key - however; look for the applicable instructions about how to do so. Preferably via the User Guide/Manual or the manufacturer's website.
