I have windows 10 , Ubuntu and arch installed on my laptop . I have encountered a strange problem with my laptop keyboard in all three OS . Whenever I type a or s on my keyboard 'as' gets typed and there are other pairs of alphabets that have the same problem. Moreover a few keys like ctrl and esc are doing the work of function keys and vice versa .Please help .
Update - All the keys affected belong to the extreme left of the laptop , so that might indicate a hardware problem but one thing I have noticed is that tab , esc and caps lock affect f6 , f7 and f8 and f6 , f7 and f8 affect tab , esc and caps respectively , which is kind of strange . Moreover , pressing any affected key is equivalent to pressing two keys .
