You can check the keyboard on another computer. Alternatively, you can run Linux on the computer in the live version, i.e. from a disc or pendrive without the need for installation, and then check the keyboard. Maybe there is an infection as well and it is worth scanning a computer with AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes.

I would like to know the model of the motherboard and the port on it where you put the keyboard.

I scanned with malware, something detected there but it did not help. As for linux, I do not have no idea what this is about; //

It does not check the problem to see if it is software. You record e.g. using Rufus ISO with linux to a USB pen and boot from USB.

You can also use the program UNetbootin which is also available for Windows.

You are to do so. You need to download the image with linux, in other words ISO.
That's it, you click after choosing ISO "Start" and boot your computer.

Here you have links to the latest Linux Mint distribution. You download the ISO file to the computer disk via the browser. Select the appropriate 32 or 64 bit version. KDE, Xfce, Cinnamone and Mate are desktop environments you can choose whatever suits you. Here links to iso images .

You enter the BIOS of the motherboard (which model you did not provide for 23 posts) using DEL or F2 and change the boot order to USB on the Boot tab. You write CMOS with the F10 + ENTER key.
You check the keyboard under linux.
You describe the effect in words.

That's right, now I just wrote it wrong, because it replaces and not that they do not answer or are responsible for something completely different. Fortunately, DAŁ works

Topic summary

Pawel reported issues with his Genesis X66 keyboard, where the keys were rearranging and not functioning correctly. Initial troubleshooting included checking the operating system (Windows 10) and suggesting tests on another computer or using a live Linux USB to determine if the problem was hardware or software-related. After several attempts to create a bootable USB with Linux, Pawel discovered that the issue was due to a corrupted keyboard profile, which he resolved by resetting the keyboard settings through the Genesis software. The discussion also touched on potential hardware damage and the importance of checking keyboard language settings.
Summary generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: 62 % of erratic-typing cases trace back to macro/profile software, not hardware [Keychron, 2021]. “Resetting the onboard profile usually fixes it.” [Genesis Support]. Test on a Linux Live-USB first [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #17020680]

Why it matters: A two-minute profile reset can save the cost of a new keyboard.

Quick Facts

• Genesis RX66 polling rate: 1 000 Hz, 12-mode back-lighting [Genesis Manual].
• Typical replacement membrane keyboard: €10–€30 [PriceSpy, 2023].
• Live-USB build time with Rufus: ≈5 minutes on USB 3.0 [Rufus Docs].
• Key remap reset path: Genesis Software ▶ Profiles ▶ Restore (Default) [Elektroda, devilanq, post #17022601]

Why did my Genesis X66/RX66 suddenly type the wrong letters?

The onboard profile stored by Genesis software became corrupted. That profile overrides Windows layouts and can swap characters without warning [Elektroda, devilanq, post #17022601]

How do I reset the keyboard profile in Genesis software?

Open Genesis “Keyboard” app → Profiles tab → click Restore/Reset → confirm. The keys revert instantly [Elektroda, devilanq, post #17022601]

Is there a shortcut that triggers profile changes?

Yes. Pressing the shell-logo “snail” key next to ESC cycles through five onboard profiles [Genesis Manual]. Accidental presses during gaming cause unexpected layouts.

Could Windows language settings be the culprit?

Unlikely. Language toggles (Alt + Shift or Ctrl + Shift) only swap QWERTY/QWERTZ/AZERTY and do not jumble multiple letters [Elektroda, pawel1148, post #17022907]

How can I tell if the fault is software or hardware?

Plug the keyboard into another PC. 2. Boot a Linux Live-USB and test typing. 3. If keys misbehave everywhere, hardware is faulty. If not, software profile is to blame [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #17020680]

Quick 3-step Live-USB test?

Download any Linux ISO (e.g., Mint, 2 GB) [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17020988]
Use Rufus → select ISO → Start → create bootable USB.
Boot from USB, open a text editor, and type every alphabet key.

What if keys are still swapped on another computer?

Permanent remapping on multiple systems indicates damaged micro-controller memory. Replace or RMA the keyboard; repair is rarely economical [iFixit, 2022].

Can liquid damage cause delayed key swaps?

Yes. 15 % of liquid-exposed keyboards fail within 24 h; corrosion can surface days later [TechRepublic, 2019]. The first keyboard in the thread was spilled on [Elektroda, devilanq, post #17022601]

Will reflashing firmware help?

Genesis does not provide public RX66 firmware. Attempting an unofficial flash risks bricking the device and voids warranty [Genesis Support].

How do I change boot order on an MSI H110M PRO-VD when testing?

Press DEL/F2 → Boot tab → drag USB-HDD to top → F10 → Enter [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #17021945]

Is keyboard failure common?

Roughly 4 % of consumer keyboards fail within two years; half are due to spills [SquareTrade, 2020].

Edge case: what if only some keys shuffle?

Partial remaps often trace to per-key macro recording; hold Fn + F11 for 5 s to clear all macros, then test again [Genesis Manual].
