Sounds like your keyboard is sticking

Unplug the keyboard and do the following

Look on the bottom you should see some screws, remove the screws and leaving the keys facing down, pop the two pieces apart.

Leaving the electronics aside you can now continue with the following instructions
Ok, once you have the two pieces, all of the keys should stay in there proper place, take and soak that in the sink with some soap and water.
Moving all the keys to get the water to flow through.
Then dry off the Keyboard and vacuum all the excess water off, then replace and screw back together, you should be good to go.

I wouldn't recommend a dishwasher, this could get to hot and melt the keys

- then better open the keyboard, take a soft brush and clean everything.

You enabled the number lock option which turns some keys to numbers so that a 10-key number pad is created using the 987 on the top row, lkj becomes oiu becomes 654, lkj becomes 321, etc.

- When the numeric keypad is turned on, these keys can be used to type numbers. To activate the numeric keypad press the Fn+ keys. When the keypad is activated, the Pad Lock status indicator is lit. Press Fn+ keys again to turn off the numeric keypad.

- sorry, messed up a bit.. uiop becomes 456*, jkl becomes 123, the m becomes 0,
Basically, number lock enables a 10-key pad that is easier to use than how the numbers are from 1-0 across the top keys,
7 8 9
uio= 4 5 6
jkl= 1 2 3
