Unusual key presses appearing in the Fn row on the keyboard?
I acquired a Corsair Strafe M2 Keyboard that I’ve used for two years. I maintained it well and cleaned it often, even opening it up thoroughly at the end of last year after moving houses, as strange behavior started around last month. Whenever I press F11, it activates F7 and the Esc key together, sometimes both at once, or just one. Could this be due to a keyboard issue or power problems in the house? I’ve also noticed other devices like my Hotas set and flight nerd giving random button inputs since moving in. Might a powered USB hub resolve these issues?
Update your post with complete hardware details and operating system information.

If a USB-powered hub wasn’t required before, it’s unlikely the purchase would be beneficial. Unless there’s an underlying power issue with the system’s PSU, the hub might just serve as a temporary solution.
Consider testing alternative keyboards on your computer and checking other peripherals on different machines or locations within your home. Ensure you’re using varied electrical sources to isolate the cause.
Investigate whether the issues persist when focusing only on the keyboard and peripherals, remain consistent with the computer itself, or change depending on the power supply.
Test potential surge protectors or power strips if they are installed, eliminating them one by one to identify the source.
