both shift keys aren't working on my keyboard

Yeah, it seems on my Logitech Elite keyboard which I've had for a long time, both of my shift keys just suddenly stopped working. I can use CAPS LOCK just fine, but the shift keys just aren't responsive at all. Is this a sign that I need a new keyboard.../ 'insert question mark here'

It's weird, they were working yesterday when I was playing modern warfare 2..

    I just had a similar problem. Likely it has something to do with Sticky Keys. Try fiddling with the settings in Ease of Access. If that fails, reboot in safe mode, remove your keyboard drivers, and it'll reinstall them automatically.

    If it helps, I tried this keyboard out with my dual boot, and both in XP and 7, it did the same thing. No shift keys :?.

    Well it seems like I managed to find a workaround by using the on-screen keyboard that's in WIN7. I tried this keyboard out on my Wii, but my shift keys weren't working there, either. So, does that mean it's new keyboard time? I've had this keyboard for around 5 years, but it's probably the best one I've ever used, so I'm inpartial of getting rid of it, but I've been looking around for some.

    Have you popped off the keys and cleaned them?

    Yup. I'm going to see what's going on with it when I open it up.

    You can rebind keys using AutoHotKey or some other program if you want to keep the keyboard.

    Or you could buy a new keyboard of the same model.
