Control keys are not working at all - predator 1500

m7ammeed

The ctrl keys have not been working since I first got my acer predator 15😤😤. I did my best to try to solve the problem. But nothing happened.
And few months ago, the 1,2,w,z, and x key started to lag and most of the time they stop working completely 😢😢
I assigned some macro key to do the job when necessary. 
But this really gets on my nerves.
Is there anything I can do ? 
I hope you can help me
Thanks in advance
