Oof, sounds like it time for a new keyboard. Although you could try to remove the keys and clean underneath it.

i'm not sure its a matter of cleanliness (though it prolly wouldn't hurt to see) this machine had a puffed up battery before and the keyboard is just not the same since or at least as far as these few keys are considered the rest are just fine

I hope you replaced or removed the battery after that. Lithium batteries are hard to put out if they catch fire. Once they puff up like that there's a greater chance that it will. Pretty much the only way to put it out would be to bury it in the ground.

I'd probably just order a new keyboard for it and replace it myself, but then again not everyone knows how to work on computers.

Well it is a laptop and i'm not sure how one could change keyboards for it (i'm still learning computers) and i'm not sure about spending money on this since it really only happens sometimes so it's definitely bearable but i'll keep the idea in my head for when/if it gets worse

It likely wouldn't be too complicated. Either the top plate would have to be unclipped, or if it's a sealed unit the bottom would need to be removed as well as the motherboard. But the keyboard itself will likely just be attached to the motherboard via a ribbon cable. You'd just have to disconnect the keyboard, swap in a new one, and then put it back together.
But if it isn't too bad, then it might not be worth the hassle. Lol

Ideally you'd want an antistatic wrist strap that is grounded. But, over the years I've worked on plenty of computers without one and only managed to zap one of them. RIP Compaq computer, bits to bits, rust to rust. Lol

ah i see, well i'll see about it when it will be needed, but yeah so far its definitely not that bad, thanks for the info though

I probably would still err on the side of caution though. And an antistatic wrist strap is only like $4.99 on Amazon. Lol
