So lately I've been having problems with my keyboard and today is the last straw. For the past month or so, the "b" "n" "m" and "," buttons have randomly stopped working at times, but then would start working again after a few seconds to a minute. I thought it may be the USB connection but no matter what port I connect it to, it still messes up. And today, those keys haven't been working at all, along with the left, right, and down arrows.

Fortunately I saved my $5 piece of crap PS2 keyboard that has lasted me TWO YEARS! meanwhile my $20 USB keyboard hasn't even lasted me a year (just a few months shy).

I tried installing drivers as well and that didn't do anything. Is there anything else I can do? Or should I just get a new keyboard? (If I have to get a new one, I want to spend <$30, I don't need something fancy; and besides, I'll just check the new keyboard thread [Yes, I searched before posting this!]).
