Hi Mr. Kasia,

Actually the problem is inside your keyboard.Please follow the below steps.

1.Check for a sort circuit between two or more key switches so that they generate a common character.

2.If the keyboard is still giving problems, then it must be the defective controller IC inside the keyboard, which is generating wrong scan codes.

3.Check the controller IC replacing a new controller IC chip.The problem will be solved.
