I self fixed the issue. As odd as this sounds, keyboards wear out as mine has, and regular feeding of fried rice with oil on the rice, and potato chip/cracker crumbs is actually bad for a keyboard also. Issue was fixed with buying a new KB, which to my dismay has doubled in price since i bought the last one several years ago. Issue (for me) is fixed/solved. For reference, the brand is a Azio large font backlit, solid colors only ( changeable with buttons on KB ), was $19 USD on Amazon, now almost $39 USD.
