Try a different keyboard?

Or boot in safe mode and see if that helps.

That can happen if you've spilled something on your keyboard.

I had a keyboard do that once (random keys when you hit one).  New keyboard, problem went away.

Yeah that is from circuit board failure. Could be caused by a few things, but once it happens, the board is essentially dead - or full of lols.

I don't get how you managed to get an a in the thread title and the one in your first posting.

Usually once that happens, the keyboard doesn't recover.

That makes more sense than that it was a symptom. What a boring mundane error!  :grin:
