I was gaming some Tetris online when my keyboard (Steelseries apex pro) began malfunctioning. At first I thought it was a miss drop, but the issue grew worse over time. According to some calculations, the keyboard is sending inputs in under 0.5 frames, with several inputs spaced about 0.8 frames apart. During these rapid bursts, I didn’t press my space bar, and it appears the space bar itself is the source of the problem right now. Could this be related to its recent age? Otherwise, it seems to be in good shape with no dust or debris on the keys.

I would attempt the following steps: Disconnect the keyboard, pause for 10 seconds, then reconnect it. If that didn't resolve the issue, try using a different USB port. Should neither 1 nor 2 work, restart your computer. If none of these solutions help, connect the keyboard to another device (the operating system isn't critical at this stage) and verify functionality there. Good luck.
