Macbook Pro Keyboard Problems

exploder

For several months now my (2012 Macbook Pro) Keyboard has been showing input problems, this type of problem had happened a little in the past, but it seems like it has become permanent now. 

 

Letters dfghjkl more often than not don't work and as a result i have to either press hard and at angles so it works, or push all keyboard buttons like crazy until i get some kind of input, or simply give up. 

 

Is this software or hardware problems? enough is enough.

probably hardware :( 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

it's probably a hardware issue. you could try to boot up a live usb of ubuntu or something, and see if it still doesn't work.

Clear your SMC and PRAM or whatever it's called, and see if that helps. Or else get a new keyboard and install it (or if you still have AppleCare, get them to do it for you).
