Redragon k630 keyboard fault or shortcut?
Hi, I bought a Redragon K630 recently and it has a factory hardware matrix short circuit straight out of the box. Pressing Z+A triggers a phantom shortcut that launches the Windows network menu, and Shift+Ctrl fires a physical Caps Lock toggle. I have tested it on a mobile phone as well, and it behaves identically, proving it is a hardware microcontroller/PCB fault.
Somebody with similar keyboard please confirm if this is a feature or a fault.

Airtel is holding my "Unlimited" data plan hostage after a system billing failure, demanding I pay twice to fix their backend bug.
I am a final-year computer engineering student, and I am currently witnessing an absolute masterclass in corporate extortion and system failure by Airtel. Back in May, I paid for and activated a standard "Unlimited" prepaid 4G plan on my primary SIM. Because I have massive data requirements for my engineering projects and academic downloads, my usage crossed their 300 GB Commercial Usage Policy (CUP) limit during the month. My speed got throttled down to 64 Kbps. Fair enough, I accepted that.
My 30-day billing cycle officially ended on June 21st. Mechanically, contractually, and legally, the automated cron job or script on Airtel's HLR (Home Location Register) server was supposed to clear the 300 GB usage flag and reset my data profile back to high speed for the new month. It didn't. The system glitched, and my account stayed completely locked in the throttled state.
I spent the last 48 hours bypassing their braindead frontline IVR/customer care apps and managed to hunt down a direct phone number for a compliance subordinate sitting under Airtel's Regulatory Team. Here is where it goes from a "technical bug" to flat-out illegal:
An escalation agent called me directly and explicitly stated that Airtel will refuse to execute a manual system reset on my data profile unless I "recharge an unlimited plan again." They are literally trying to force me to pay twice for an active contract because their backend failed to trigger a reset. The Gaslighting: I have since been spammed with identical, automated boilerplate emails from their West Bengal Nodal desk saying my issue is "highest priority" followed by raw, one-liner emails telling me to "KINDLY IGNORE THE PREVIOUS EMAIL" because their local team is panicking over the paper trail I'm building.
What I've done so far: I refuse to pay a single paisa to fix their system bug. Filed a formal Department of Telecommunications (DoT) Grievance via CPGRAMS. Filed an Unfair Trade Practice / Deficiency in Service complaint on the National Consumer Helpline (NCH / INGRAM). Mailed the Nodal, Appellate, and CEO offices with the technical breakdown of their provisioning failure. They are completely stalling, giving me conflicting timelines, and waiting for me to break down and buy a duplicate recharge. Has anyone else dealt with Airtel's billing cycle refusing to reset after hitting the 300GB cap? How do you force a manual provisioning override when their entire hierarchy is trained to just stone-wall you and read from a script?
