    Is your keyboard locked on something? Some keyboard have stuff liek numlock, or capslock, maybe thats whats wrong with your keyboard. Another reason is that one of your keys is stuck, try to see if either of your "\" keys are stuck or anything, maybe give it a hard tap and it might undo itself. If all other things fail, time to get a new keyboard
