When attempting to enter the word "hello," it appears as if the text is being distorted, with Apple's name resembling "aaaapllle" and the keyboard displaying strange characters. If I wish to type a longer phrase such as "This keyboard problem makes me want to kill myself," the output becomes "Ttttthis keeeeyboarddd ppproblllem makkkes meee wantttt to killll myselfff." Turning off the keyboard's LED light reduces the issue by about 95%, though it still occurs occasionally. The problem seems to affect only certain keys, not the entire keyboard. I have tried several solutions: reinstalling Windows 10, changing the PSU, connecting the keyboard on different USB ports, bringing in a new keyboard, adjusting repeat and delay settings, filtering keys, updating drivers via Device Manager, and reinstalling the HID keyboard devices. These attempts have provided temporary fixes, but the issue persists. It appears to be a software-related problem, so I advise against cleaning the USB port or the keyboard itself.

Have you considered cleaning under the keycaps? It might contain dirt, grime, or hair that could cause them to repeat. Try a clean boot and observe if it makes a difference—follow the instructions carefully and avoid disabling any Microsoft services. If this resolves the issue, it likely points to a startup program. Over several restarts, restart the programs you stopped to identify the culprit.

As mentioned before, I tried another keyboard to test, but it didn't solve the issue. It seems the problem might be with one of the two HID keyboard devices listed in Device Manager, or possibly the keyboard's LED affecting the system. I'm not sure how to fix it yet.

Check the bios for any keyboard-related settings. Go to the mobo site and refresh the bios and drivers if necessary.

I think I fixed the issue, the spike in the IO shield affected the USB port, bent it and the problem disappeared
