Hi iWasAWizard,
Welcome to sony Community!
It sounds to me that this is more of a hardware issue. You may want to double check if there are debris under the keys. Make sure that it's free of dirt. If the issue is still the same then you need to send the unit to our authorized repair center.
Regards,
Jen
