Haunted PC

[Raz Ghost]

OK maybe a bit OTT title but I just experienced the weirdest thing to date that I just had to share.

 

So about a hour ago I spilt a little bit of my drink on the wasd keys FML, unpluged it dried it off as best as I could plugged it in and i could only get special characters to come up like if you hold alt gr. Take the whole thing apart, completely dry it off and plug it in and now it's like ctrl is being held down. And here's the weird bit, I plug in my spare keyboard (unplugged the other one) and I had the same behaviour. FFS two broken keyboards with the same issue what are the odds!?! The only option I could think of was to restart but if that didn't fix it I wouldn't be able to type the password but I did it anyway.

 

And what would you know it's all working, plugged in the one I spilt stuff on and it worked fine.

 

I simply can't explain it, anyone else have stories of unexplained activity?

my old computer used to randomly turn on in the middle of the fucking night just to WAKE ME UP

 

and that's how I started to unplug everything before going to bed.

sounds like the windows sticky keys function, not hard to explain
