right shift and ctrl keys not working

hello,


my right shift and ctrl keys are not working on my macbook pro. i can type ?, !, etc., but only using left shift. additionally, when i try to right-click using my trackpad and ctrl keys, nothing happens- the menu with the usual options doesn't appear.


i've looked in my settings and can't seem to find anything- sticky keys and slow keys are off. i reset all keyboard defaults and shortcuts. what should i do? thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Hi,

Try to check your MacBook Pro keyboard and trackpad with Apple Diagnostics if it reports something related keyboard and trackpad error(Keyboard codes:NDK001, NDK003, NDK004. trackpad codes: NDR001, NDR003 to NDR006).
