it seems when i press the esc button, both esc + f1 keys are inputted simultaneously. Also shift button simultaneously pressing shift+tab keys. Wait, but there is more problems in my keypad, but will leave it to you what solution you might provide.
P.S.
I cannot seem to verify the serial number of my product in your website: GK100F231212024
Thank you in advance,

Hi @nsityar1979,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The issues you're describing suggest a hardware or software problem with your GK100F keyboard. Below are steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem.
Check for Software Conflicts
- Test on another computer/device: Connect your GK100F keyboard to another system to see if the same issue persists. If it works fine, the problem might be with your current computer's software.
- Reinstall keyboard drivers:
- Go to Device Manager (on Windows).
- Expand Keyboards, right-click your keyboard, and choose Uninstall driver.
- Restart your computer, and Windows should reinstall the drivers automatically.
- Update drivers: Check if updated drivers are available for your keyboard from the manufacturer's website.
Inspect for Physical Issues
- Check for stuck keys: Ensure the ESC, F1, SHIFT, and TAB keys are not physically stuck or sticky.
- Clean the keyboard: Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the keyboard and remove dust or debris that might cause key overlap.
Reset Keyboard Settings
- If your keyboard has software for customization, reset it to factory defaults. Misconfigured macros or remapping settings could be the cause.
- Some keyboards have a hardware reset:
- Disconnect the keyboard.
- Hold down the ESC key while plugging it back in.
- Keep holding the ESC key for a few seconds until the keyboard resets.
Rule Out OS Key Mapping Issues
- On Windows:
- Check if sticky keys or other accessibility features are turned on by mistake:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.
- Disable Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys, or Filter Keys.
- Check if sticky keys or other accessibility features are turned on by mistake:
- On macOS:
- Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard and disable similar features.
Advanced Hardware Troubleshooting
- Inspect the PCB (printed circuit board): If you’re comfortable disassembling the keyboard, check for visible damage or dirt on the PCB that might cause key signals to overlap.
- Test with a key tester: Use an online keyboard tester (search "keyboard tester") to verify which keypresses are being registered.
- Firmware update: If your keyboard supports firmware updates, check the manufacturer's website for an updated version.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
