Keyboard types extra letters, opens random stuff.

[Shockbopz]

My friend needs help. His keyboard (steelseries apex 350) types extra letters or cant type at all, ex. from -> fromom but it types it correctly every other time. fromom from fromom from... when he opens steam, it will go to community without him clicking on it, or it will open up his c: drive. His scroll wheel doesnt work. When he has chrome open (on reddit) and minimizes it, clicking the chrome shortcut on his taskbar open up a brand new tab instead of his currently opened tab, (reddit). Any suggestions?

Try the keyboard on another computer. See if the problems continue - if so the keyboard has a problem.

If not, then the original computer has some problem. Any macros in use? Could be some file corruption with respect to steam or chrome.

Minimize the number of applications being started at boot up. See if the problem ends. If so, then begin starting the applications one by one. Watch for if and when the problem re-occurs.
