Mouse Wheel and Keyboard problems.

[kiotimak]

Okis. Today I went to buy new keyboard. I wasn't too keen on the Tec board because it doesn't have volume +/-/mute. On way to city I thought to go look in the Sallies, they have Kboards/mouses/various cables etc. Was a good thought because in the half dozen they had was a Microsoft Wired 600 keyboard, the exact board I have that has the space bar issues. It was priced at $5.00, is spotless and looks like it's never been used. So I was as happy as a pig in it.
It is working perfectly, space issue resolved.
If the issues I was having do a 'rehap' then I will have to consider something else at the root of the problem. Hope that doesn't come about.
Will post if I get a rehap of the issues mentioned.
Cheers.

ps: might run the DISM commands. Won't do any harm

Great, the Sallies can be a good source of cords, usb, mains figure 8, etc as well.

hi. Yep they sure can be. I not been in there for almost 2 years, have a look about for computer parts, mouses etc Bought a 21inch HP v216 from them for $40 about 3-4 year ago. Served me well it did and is still in use with my other rig running the Ryzen 5 2600 on a Gigabyte AB350M-D3H and the AMD Sapphire Nitro RX580 GPU, W10 20H2.
All good
cheers.

could just be the ctrl key on the keyboard sticking

hi. yep could be that. I may dismantle and clean the keyboard. Not really a task I look forward to doing having tried it once years ago. I never did manage to complete the reconstruction with keys in proper places.
But.... the Space bar is worn on the top right half of it and doesn't always make contact with the Keypad connections, so, it is probably not really worth cleaning.
Cheers

My scroll wheel does not work and won't scroll, it moves but just dosnt work. I was playing tf2 and my mouse went wonky and now the only way to switch weapons is q and not the scroll wheel, when I try fixing the binds the scroll wheel does not count as a button.

Carefully take it apart and clean the guts out. Probably a build up of debris from over a period. For me it seems to be mainly cat fur!

Make sure that your keyboard and mouse are connected correctly and then restart the pc if doesn't help a troubleshooting can fix this issue.
