How long was it in storage? If the keys click, then it might be something else. At this cost, it likely isn't worth trying to fix and just junking it.

can I repair this in any way or do I need to junk it please?

I have never heard of anyone being able to recover any third-party keyboards with complete satisfaction, especially ones from a company I have never heard of.

FWIW, I picked up an Apple wired extended USB keyboard from my local Facebook Marketplace for next to nothing recently just in order to have a spare In case my old 2011 Apple keyboard gives up.

I would check your various local buy-and-sell websites and pick up a good working USB model.

Somehow I don’t think the storage would be a problem, my wife has had a keyboard identical to that one for 6+ years on three different laptops and it still works perfectly. I can only imagine it was faulty from the start.
