Hi, first sorry about my english.

Ok, recently i got somes problems in some games : After 2 min or after 30min, my pc starts to spam keys with no reason and alone.. ( zqsdqe qdq qe etcetc )
When i leave a game, this problem doesnt disapear : i have to reboot my computer.

I got this bug, maybe, with the game Dying Light. I got it today with H1Z1 and Dragon Ball Xenoverse..
Not all my games have this problem.

Maybe i missed something, can you help me ?

Thanks !

Have you tried plugging in another keyboard?

if it uses batteries try some fresh ones.

I drowned my last keyboard, and got a new one ( razer ) and the problem is still here.
It is not a batteries keyboard. I dont know how to say it in english..

razer can be funny , my copperhead mouse had funny stuff like that untill I updated the firmware.

check the razer fan forum for fixes.

edit , looks like they have a proper forum now.
don't remember the name of the old one.

My keyboard before this razer wasnt a razer, nothing change here.
I dont think it is from the keyboard :/

when I google your thread here is on top , thats never a good sign.
do you have a SideWinder X8?

Shrik Mar 30, 2015 @ 6:56am

Yes i have a X8... Was hard to find one : I had a previous sidewinder and liked it. My problem can come from it ? o_O

yup

I think I have an answer for the keys repeated a few times in an hour, if you have the SideWinder X8.
If you ever pressed the 8th button, the one left of the thumb buttons, that will set the thumb buttons on a macro.
If you had it on a other button before, and pressed it a few times because it didn't work, it will repeat those macro's instead.
To fix this go to start-programs-microsoft mouse- Microsoft Mouse.
Then put the thumb buttons back on the key you wanted. Don't press the macro record key again if you want to keep the thumb buttons on the key your assigned them to. I hope this helps you.

Good luck.
