Hello, good evening

I have an Acer PC running Windows 8, so here it is: yesterday I was playing a game called Transformice and I saw an ant come out of my PC, then (I don't know if there are other ants in my PC but I just saw another one) I killed it shortly after. I wrote a sentence in the Transformice game to chat with my friend and then my comma key, which is on the question mark key so they form a single key, started to malfunction and it showed me:
-"S??????a,,,,lut,, ça,,,,,,,,,,,,v,,,,,a,,,????????
Then I refreshed my PC without affecting my files,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and it does the same thing again, please help me,,,,,,,,this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,problem.

Good evening

It mainly looks like a dusty keyboard or a drink that may have spilled on it; in any case, it could use a cleaning.
You are probably on a laptop, so the keys might be stuck.
Turn off the computer, unplug it, and remove the battery, then with a slightly damp cloth – I mean slightly, not a mop –
rub the keyboard and check the keys to see if any are stuck. Wait for it to dry, or use a hairdryer to eliminate the moisture.
And to deal with the ants, you can attract them with a little sugar water in a bowl next to your computer; with a bit of luck, the whole ant family will show up.
Best regards

Computing is just a tool, like a paintbrush or a pencil.
Avoid those so-called free repair software; they are of no major use. The best companions are Dos and Powershell..

Je te remercie du conseil. Je vais essayer, mais en fait, comment nettoyer l'intérieur de la touche avec un chiffon ? Et aussi, tu as raison, car je constate bien qu'il y a plein plein plein de poussière à l'intérieur du clavier. Je voulais te faire remarquer que des fois, si je laisse le curseur clignoter sans rien écrire, ça donne ça. En plus, si je pose un cure-dent sur la touche, ça fait... Donc, je vais essayer ta solution, mais encore merci d'avoir répondu ♥

Yes, this is a suggestion of what I propose, and if it doesn't improve, try plugging in another keyboard via USB to see if it does the same.
With a bike pump, for example, to thoroughly dust it off.

Alright, but in the meantime, I'll dust off as much as possible, and thank you for your help ♥ If you need anything, just ask me, I might be able to help you. But it's been a while since the comma key has been responding. In the meantime, I’ll keep you posted :)

Holala, it does the same thing again when I search. I wanted to ask you, if I disassemble the key and look at what’s going on inside (the comma added itself, please help me), can I put it back together?

Hello again

As I see that you have connected a USB keyboard, my assessment confirms that the keyboard has a problem with that key.
To remedy this, you need to change the native keyboard or keep the USB connection one

Best regards

Re
I don't think it's the key but a keyboard issue because on a laptop, it's the key system that can be a ribbon cable; in that case, the only solution is to replace it.
Can you give me exactly your PC type, brand, and model? I can check the cost of the integrated keyboard.
