Looks like it's stuck! Like maybe liquid (it only takes a drop or two, especially if it's sticky, like soda or anything else with sugar in it. Even milk) or crumbs or something got in it. Turn it on its edge and give it a sharp rap against your desk a couple of times. Shake out any loose stuff. Srsly, this works in the majority of these cases.

You could try vacuuming it, too...if you have the kind of attachment that can do that. A blast of compressed air might help, though if it's sticky liquid that is the problem, dry steam might be better, but that would also be risky.

How do I know these things? I have killed one or two keyboards with coffee, in my day. And I drink it black...but it doesn't have to be sticky liquid if there is a lot of it. A lot will do it. :(

Good luck!
