    Thank you. For a Keyboard Hyper X Alloy RGB Mechinical gaming keyboard (i own) the key to press is the - G - symbol key on the keyboard to lock or unlock this feature. The - G - symbols key is located in the top left of the keyboard, next to a brightness key and color contrast key on the top left as well. Thanks again! peace

I finally came across your video (after 2 hours of searching) and used Fn + F6 to fix it. Funny thing is, I use and Alienware laptop and the F6 key does not have the keyboard lock symbol on it but that is obviously what it does. Thanks again.
