it could be something wrong with the hardware itself
since it is a laptop (unlike desktop where you change the keyboard which does cost much) take it to a computer shop and ask them to inspect the keyboard you may need to change it or if it still under waranty then send it back to dell 99% hardware problem(cannnot be drivers or settings problem)
