Four is unlucky in China so I'd take it as a good sign. (If you're Chinese)

I don't know if the relationship is linear.

chillidoggy

No, you're right. 4 is unlucky.

Look behind the key - there's probably a piece of deep fried Mars bar wedged in that affects the operation of it...

chillidoggy

Or maybe some haggis eggs.

Hootsmon

^ if I had a £1 coin for every mars bar...buckie...and haggis crack I could save 'em all up in a tartan canvas bag an' bludgeon you two fuckers tae death with it

What sort of keyboard is it?

If it's a mechanical keyboard that cost a bit you might be able to get it repaired with a replacement switch...

Alternatively... bin it and buy a new one, they're stupidly cheap (unless you REALLY want a fancy gaming keyboard... those are stupidly expensive! I spent £160 on mine! Key presses are also loud, like a typewriter! I've used too many !!s in this bracketed comment which is longer than the rest of the paragraph! Grammar!)
