So I bought a Acer Aspire V5-571 laptop second hand. Everything works fine other than the keyboard/mouse.

Certain keys take a lot more pressure than others to get them to work which means it takes a lot longer to type things out.

The mouse scrolling is also quite slow compared to my brothers who has a laptop with similar specs.

Just wanted to see what my options were with this, I can buy a new keyboard if that's my only option. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse which I can use for now but long term I would prefer to have this working.

Thanks in advance!

The issue with key pressure is down to the fact that it is a laptop keyboard, they generally aren't that great quality. If you wanted a cheap KB+Mouse then the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is a great low-budget choice.

Sometimes those problems can be down to liquid damage.

If you swap out the keyboard that should fix it if it is just liquid damage on the keyboard.
