    I'm using Saitek, the luminous keyboard..

    After yesterday before and after I formatted my com, my numpad Enter can't be use, when I press it, it show me this "dfjk" in notepad, and random letters.. Same to the numpad +, Home and Delete.. Could it be my keyboard has spoilt?

    It sounds like someone spilled something on it. If that happened let it sit upside down somewhere for a day and hope it dries out. A lot of people think spilling water or something on their keyboard will mess it up permanently, but if they manage to dry it out it will work again.

    If you know this isn't the case though...then ya it sounds like a goner.

    Hi, I've opened up my keyboard and clean all inside it and dry it with my little hair dryer, but the problem still exist, so now best solution = left it up side down and dry? ^_^v

    Hi, I dried it like almost an week now, and I even opened up the keyboard and use hairdryer on it for 30mins!!! It seem to be working for a day, after which it start to go crazy again, now when I press the enter on numpad it'd show this! "asdfj" And my "Home", Arrow key, "+" on numpad side all affected!

    Take the keyboard apart completely and try giving it a good clean in there. (Make sure it's definitely dry before using it again!) if no luck, have it replaced.
