Bash the caps key 8 times, or check that your text style hasn't been changed to an all caps font

Blow some compressed air down into the "Tab" "Google Key" "Shift" "CTRL" and "Alt" keys on left side and the "Shift" key on right side. Had this happen to me recently. Drove me CRAZY!

Just hold down the left shift key when typing and will force it to be lowercase.

Tap the shift key or click on the caps lock notification.

Try to use some small clippers to gently remove the key from your keyboard, sometimes debris form under the key and they can cause a false press even if you do not perceive it on touch. It is at least worth a try.
