    Keyboard randomly inputs characters continuously, but it's complicated


    This is driving me a little bit crazy. I booted up my laptop one day, and keys would just randomly type themselves in. Initially, it was the f,d, and \ keys. I'll elaborate more on the specific idiosyncracies later, but these keys would type themselves in UNPROMPTED. If I just left notepad open, It would automatically type long strings of 'ffffffffff' or 'dddddddddddddddd' or '\\\\\\\\\\'. F and D have stopped happening now, it's just \. I assumed it was either a virus, or a hardware issue. I ran all the Windows Defender Scans, quick, full, offline, and nada. Booted in safe mode to check
