Keyboard typing randomly.

Deathcon51 · Sep 20, 2016

There's not much else to explain beyond the title, my keyboard is randomly typing words/letters, opening start menu, right clicking, etc. I have no idea what to do. I've tried uninstalling the software, reinstalling, using a different keyboard, reinstalling the language on the computer. Nothing is working. Please reply asap, thank you!

Sounds like someone may have hacked into your computer and is remotely using it for who knows what purpose. Has this just started happening? What happens if you disconnect your ethernet cable (or disable wireless network adapter)?

I unplugged my Ethernet and disconnected my Wi-Fi and it's still doing it. After doing a little bit more testing, I found out it starts doing all this once I press "r". Once I press that, I can no longer use that key and all this stuff happens.

Did you scan for a virus? If you said it is right-clicking, etc. that implies that it is affecting the mouse as well as the keyboard.

Yup, I checked using McAfee and Malwarebytes, they both found nothing. The way it's acting, I'm very positive I'm not hacked, but I'm also not sure what's doing it.

Well, you may not be hacked, but still could have some malware installed that is just there to "mess with" you, making it appear that someone is remotely controlling the computer.

What software did you uninstall and reinstall? The drivers for the keyboard?

I had uninstalled the software for the keyboard and reinstalled it. That did nothing, but after fiddling around for several hours I finally managed to fix it. I'm not sure how though

Hopefully you "fixed" it. If it comes back, try booting into Safe Mode. If you are on Windows 8 or 10 here is a link for that procedure:

If you are on Windows 7, pressing F8 on startup should give you that option.

Ok, thank you very much for your time. I'll be back here if for some reason it comes back. Have a nice day.
