Certain keys not working without other key input
A week ago, I began having intermittent issues with keys not sending input under certain, strange conditions.
The specific keys are 6, 7, 8, y, u, h, j, and n.
The problem isn't with the hardware, because:
a) They work fine if I hold Shift and send upper case input just as normal. b) They also work fine if I start holding one, and then press shift, at which point I get normal lower-case input. c) Sometimes, pressing one of these keys and then pressing another key in rapid succession sends that sequence of inputs but in reverse (i.e. typing "net" returns "ent" instead).
Has anyone experienced something like this before? I'm at the end of my wit.
My operating system is Win 10 1903 and my machine is an ASUS ROG GL503GE.

I took the laptop, turned it upside down, shook it, and now the keyboard works perfectly. I'll probably get some canned air and use it on the keyboard later.
