My keyboard is an asshole, I need help.

[Prince of China]

Whenever I play games such as Unreal Tournament 2004, when I press W,D, it stops responding to my command and I have to press W,A to get it back to normal and this happens a lot, especially in the Prince of Persia: Warrior Within demo.
Also, when I press 'c', alone, it comes out as 'xc' or 'cx' and when I type 'e', it gives me, 'ew'. And I have to repeaditly press I a lot to actually get it to show up on the screen. My arms are tired from constantly having to press backspace and the arrow keys to get rid of the extra unwanted letters.
Is there a way to fix this? And if I get a new keyboard, will this problem still appear?

I see two possibilities, trashed keyboard or bad connection.

In either case, a new one would help (unless the bad connection is on the motherboard), but try and borrow a different one from a friend for starters.

My keyboard is an asshole too. He belches, smokes and then blows it in my face and is always chewing me out and flipping me off. I'm getting sick of it.

Seriously though, check for dirt and crap under the keys.

How can I do that? Do I need any special tools to check under the caps? I don't know how to take it apart.

With most keyboards you just pop the keys off.

Be careful with the space bar though. They have springs and stuff - fiddly.

Okay, I'll try that, thanks guys.

If you have a cheap keyboard, stop by your local used computer store and get another one for $1 to $2.
