    Keyboard types automatically


    I got a new multimedia keyboard for my dad's PC last week. Keyboard seems to work strange.


    If we keep it idle for a bit it types automatically some gibberish. First time I assumed may be my dad kept his hand unknowingly but today even I noticed it. I stepped away from the computer to check on my laptop, when I came back it wrote some gibberish in the text screen.



    I assumed it was some sort of virus or something so I ran AV scan but results were zero infections found. Ran sfc scannow, it said one problem was identified & was repaired. These 2 happened before the auto type happened.


    Any ideas on what else to check up ?

    Perhaps it is a hardware issue (maybe some keys are sticking).

    How old is the keyboard/PC?


    You could also try:

    • Jiggling the keyboard cable
    • Plugging the keyboard into a different port/socket
    • Using a different keyboard

    If that's a brand new keyboard I'd take it back.
