Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. This would depend upon what kind of computer/keyboard it is. Call the manufacturer or talk to the people where you purchased it. Perhaps it's only a matter of your becoming used to this keyboard.
You should NOT have to press hard. Sra is right. You should follow her suggestions.
It sounds like you are experiencing some issues with the keys on your computer. There could be a few possible reasons for this problem. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Check for Physical Obstructions: First, visually inspect the keyboard for any visible debris or objects that may be obstructing the keys. If you find anything, gently clean or remove it using compressed air or a soft brush.
2. Restart Your Computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor software glitches that cause keyboard issues. Restart your computer and see if the problem persists.
3. Test the Keyboard on Another Device: Connect the keyboard to a different computer or use a different keyboard on your computer to determine if the problem is specific to your keyboard or computer. This will help isolate the issue.
4. Update Keyboard Drivers: Make sure your computer's keyboard drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website or use the device manager in your operating system to check for driver updates specific to your keyboard.
5. Adjust Keyboard Settings: Open the "Keyboard" settings on your computer and check if any settings related to key sensitivity or delay are affecting the performance. Adjust these settings as needed.
6. Use a Keyboard Cleaning Program: There are several software programs available that can help clean and optimize your keyboard's performance. Utilize any reputable keyboard cleaning program to see if it resolves the issue.
If none of the above steps fix the problem, it may indicate a hardware issue with your keyboard. In such cases, it may be best to consult a professional technician or contact the manufacturer's support for further assistance.
