Good points from and — here are practical, additional steps to narrow the cause and get the keyboard working again.

  • Isolate the hardware first: try the suspect keyboard on a different computer, and try a known-good keyboard on this machine. That immediately tells whether the keyboard itself is bad or the PC is the problem.
  • If the keyboard is wireless, replace batteries and re-pair the device (for Bluetooth, remove the device and pair it again).
  • Boot into Safe Mode or perform a Clean Boot. If the keyboard behaves normally there, a driver or background app is likely interfering.
  • Check Device Manager: expand Keyboards, Human Interface Devices and USB controllers. Note any error icons or codes, then use Update Driver or Roll Back Driver as appropriate. The device status text often points to the cause.
  • Turn off accessibility features that delay input (Filter Keys / Slow Keys / Sticky Keys). These can make typing feel unresponsive; the setting is under Ease of Access (Control Panel or Settings -> Ease of Access -> Keyboard).
  • Check Task Manager for high CPU/disk activity and run a quick malware scan if the on-screen keyboard is also slow. Background load can make input appear laggy.
  • If the built-in keyboard on a laptop fails but an external one works, the internal ribbon connector or the keyboard assembly may be faulty — seek service or consult the maintenance manual rather than forcing a repair.

If the keyboard works on another PC, focus on drivers and system settings here. If it fails elsewhere, replace the keyboard. If unsure or the machine is under warranty, contact the vendor or a repair technician before opening the case.

are you using a usb keyboard? or the ps2 k/b? if you're using a ps2 k/b and have tried to replace a new one and still not working.. it could be a hardware problem..your ps2 port is not functioning well..

if you're using usb try to plug in to another port and check the difference..

unplug-remove-clean-reinstall the keyboard.. do the key board removal..

(if it doesn't work in BIOS then.. nothing to do with any kind of software)
