Most Operating systems have an onscreen keyboard app. On win 7 & 8.1 it is under accessibility iirc.

So I just found out that the rtfgvb keys stopped working on my laptop today, so I'm having to paste them in and it's the most annoying fucking thing I've had to do.

Also thanks Naturegirl1999 for posting the letters I needed so I could steal them.

You can also use AutoHotKey to hotkey those characters to different keys, i.e. Alt-Ctrl-X gives you an 'r', Alt-Ctrl-Shift-X gives you an 'R', and so on. Might be marginally less annoying that having to use the mouse to select keys with an onscreen keyboard.

Thanks for mentioning the on screen keyboard it makes this whole ordeal less of pain in the ass.

I mean, I had a touchscreen laptop and it wad useful.  hopefully you get that sorted out.

you willing to try to clean under the keyboard?

My phone is making unexplained boop sounds that it hasn't been making before.

When does it do the sounds? If it does them when plugged either to your pc or a charger then it's either your cable or the port that's damaged. Usb ports have some kind of alert that makes a low boop noise when they detect something faulty.

I'm not sure what the hells wrong with this thing because now the broken keys work fine but the touchpad doesn't work now and I'm having to use the shitty little stick mouse thing that's in the middle of the keyboard.

The keyboard doesn't seem to be dirty, I probably should clean it anyway, but I'm not sure of that will fix the touchpad.

Oh god, not the clitmouse... I thought those times had passed.

May we never be forced to relive the horrors of the clitmouse.

[Naturegirl1999]

I never realized that thing had a name, I always amused it was call annoying because it is.

Spoiler: Of course there's a relevant XKCD (click to show/hide)

DAMMIT NINJA'D 
but yeah "clitmouse" is vulgar.  Nub-mouse is most normal.

[Naturegirl1999]

Oh
Thank youKagus for the graphic. I’ve never heard people refer to it before

[scriver]

Haha. Nub mouse. I'll show your mouse a nub~

I was just reading that silicon valley start up "Wag", which is an app for dog walking (e.g. a pet minding Uber), raised $300 million in investor capital then somehow everything went wrong.

Seriously, I'm going to move to San Francisco and launch "Toe" an app that tells you when to cut your toenails and it requires a subscription plus an exclusive referral so that only the elite are allowed in, and see how much venture capital I can raise.
