    My question mark\regular slash key has stopped working. Also, my 0 key works, but I can't use end parentheses! And sometimes the slash key will type by itself, without being pressed, as if possessed.

    ... time to buy a new keyboard... something is probably stuck under your 0 key... maybe part of the spring that once held the ? key.

    Well it seems to have fixed itself. I'll keep a close eye on it though, and tell my friends not to press so hard when they play pinball. =)

    Could of had something jammed underneath, my ALT key was infinitely held down for some odd reason, I took it out, blew on it, didn't work, so I used canned air, and then a cookie crumb fell out ;)
