Your keyboard is an important part of your computer, so when it's not working properly and responding the way you're used to, it's only natural that you want to replace it as soon as possible.
On a desktop computer, if the keyboard is completely unresponsive, it will definitely need to be replaced.
However, keyboard problems can physical or digital via drivers. Windows and your keyboard may have a complicated relationship, and if your keyboard has multimedia buttons to adjust the volume or open web pages, you probably have specific software installed called a keyboard driver. If the controller fails, the keyboard will not work properly - but this is not a sign that the keyboard needs to be replaced. Downloading a new keyboard driver from the manufacturer's website will solve most problems. You don't need a new keyboard for this, just new software.
