if it is a normal keyboard, just replace it, they are only $10-20

Sounds like it is dirty... Crumbs in the keyboard, causing odd combos

First, unplug it, take it outside, turn it to face keys down and gentle whack the edges working around the edge of the keyboard. Does junk fall out? After making the first pass of this turn it about to see what else falls out.

Does a bunch of junk fall out?

you can also GENTLY, blow it out with compressed air to see if more junk comes out.

Now go reconnect it and see if it is better or worse.
