I have a very strange problem with my laptop.
It types by itself. What I mean by this is, I can be typing a sentence,
For example, "Hello, How are you". And it will come out like this "Hello, phow arer youuuuuu"
Letters are appearing by themselves, And it is only letters i previously typed.
The worst case so far is in instant messaging or facebook chat, when i type something,
Send the message, it starts spamming my chat box with one letter repeated. And comes up like "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Until i press the back-space button
Even writing this thread, i am being spammed by empty spaces coming up themselves without me pressing the space bar and alot of letters coming up without me even typing them.
It is VERY irritating as you might understand from the description and i would love if someone could help me with the problem.
Thank you,
Regards
Colin

Hello Ritchie999

Welcome to G2Go.
=====================
Have you tried another keyboard sounds like that is what the issue is.
Let me know if that does not fix the issue.

It's an external keyboard which is plugged into a laptop
I disconnected the keyboard and used the laptop keyboard and it still happens

Well sounds like a hardware issue to me but I will look into your logs to rule out malware I have never seen it not be a keyboard issue.
