Keyboard types odd numbers on its own, can only manually type even numbers, not odd.

I closed a video game I was playing tonight and was using my phone. I looked up at my monitor and my keyboard was typing the following by itself into Skype:
13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579-13579
I tried to backspace and I couldn't, so I restarted my whole computer and nothing changed. I unplugged and plugged it back in and when I tried to type it acted as if the Shift key was held down. I restarted and it would only let me type `~24680= (evens, not odds).

I can't boot in Safe Mode because I can't press F8, and I tried another keyboard and the same thing is happening. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it and I've plugged it into different USB port with no luck. I tried updating drivers with no luck as well. No weird noises/beeps, no crashes, no blue screens, just this annoying keyboard glitch.

I am using Windows 7 (64 bit), the first keyboard is Ducky brand and Spybot S&D came up empty. Any ideas? Does this sound like a motherboard problem? I'm really not sure what to do now. Any help is appreciated and thanks so much in advance!
 


No programs or anything of the sort, just images. I ran Spyware S&D, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and the rest of the stuff recommended on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/33evdi/suggested_reading_official_malware_removal_guide/

Everything is clean as far as I can tell 🙁
 
Hi

Try booting from windows dvd or any other bootable cd or dvd or usb
See if keyboard works with out your windows & drivers
Also try with ps/2 keyboard if you can borrow one

See if windows corrupted or motherboard has problem
Try reseting cmos using jumper

I don't have a Windows disc unfortunately, wish I did. Can't borrow a PS/2 keyboard, but I'll try the keyboard without drivers. The on-screen keyboard does work, and no keys look to be pressed or anything if that matters. How can I check if Windows/Motherboard has a problem (as I don't have a Windows disc)? I'll look up how to reset the CMOS using a jumper. Thanks so much in advance!
 
Download gparted iso or hirens cd iso and burn to cd-r or dvd-r
Assuming you have a reasonable broadband connection
first is linux based second has a windows pe xp option

May have wrong keyboard country layout but that wont matter for testing keyboard
