Xev doesnt recognize the down key

Xev doesnt recognize the down key

I accidentally unbound my downkey. Now my system wont recognize it.
Xev prints out
FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

showkey -a dumps nothing when i press down.
$ showkey -s
$ 0xe0 0x50 0xe0 0xd0
$ showkey
$ keycode 108
I know xev would tell me down's keycode is 116.
What I am to do with this information I dont know but this is possible to
fix I swear.
Also when I run dumpkeys "keycode 108 = Down" and thats it. while next says
keycode 109 = Next
shift keycode 109 = Scroll_Forward
Thanks for the help
