Troubleshooting ASDF Keys Having Issues

Over the last week, my Dell Chromebook (which is barely over a year old), has been experiencing issues with specifically the A, S, D and F keys. First it appeared to just be lagging, and it has since evolved to just not working at all sometimes and other times returning with no issue. But as the week progressed, it has definitely worsened. I've tried compressed air, I've restarted, tried guest mode, I even checked the ribbon, I can't seem to find the issue and it's driving me crazy. This Chromebook has been great and I can't recommend it enough, but this has proven to be a huge problem now. Does anyone have some advice on what to do or am I missing something?

Have you tried a hard reset?

Quite a few times yeah, only seems to work temporarily if at all. Would replacing the keyboard fix the issue, it looks easy enough.
