Keyboard Randomly Repeating

My keyboard every now and then will repeat keys as I am typing. Its not specific keys, any key that I happen to press when it decides to repeat. Sometimes it does this worse than other times and sometimes it doesn't do it hardly at all. I've tried plugging the keyboard into all USB ports but it doesn't seem to solve the issue. My mouse and other USB devices don't seem to have problems so I don't believe it is a connection issue. Sometimes when I reboot my pc, it will say there is a keyboard error.
My keyboard is a Razer Deathstalker. The lights under the keys are working just fine, I've blown out the keyboard with dust cleaner, taken out the alphabetical keys and gave them a once over with the air as well, tried different ports, updated drivers, and ran the troubleshooter.
This keyboard isn't but a year old, though is it time for a new one? This post was very hard to type up, any help is very much appreciated!

I had the same issue with a wireless Keyboard, then tried it on a friends rig and he had no problem at all.... at first. A few months down the road the same problem started for him. I say borrow another keyboard and see what happens.
