The 6 key keeps pressing on its own.
This started a few days ago, number 6 key appears as i type .
I got no clue yet what is causing this .
Its really frustrating. and i rarely even press that key.
The key looks clean too .

There is something that is making one of the keys stuck, it may not be the 6 key.
Turn the keyboard Upside down and shake it, blow out the keyboard between the keys with a can of compressed air.
Try a different keyboard.
I'm guessing you've already tried this if it's wireless.
But I have a favorite mini-keyboard that goes crazy every couple months. More often the key codes are getting mixed up but I think I've seen chronic key presses also.
I've found that by taking the RF USB dongle out of the computer and removing the battery from the keyboard then putting them back in, if can often help.
And if not - as odd as it this may sound - I'll simply remove it, put it on a shelf nearby and just let it sit for 24 - 48 hours, where afterwards something magically happens that gets it working again. I found this out after getting a new one thinking the old one was broken only to find the broken one working again when I tried it.
Admittedly I've becoming more superstitious with my technologies over the years, but when it works, I've learned not to ask too many questions.
Hello @OtherWay1982,
I found that it doesNOT
matter how careful you are with eating etc around a keyboard, sometimes bits get dropped. This happened to me last year, and all I did was to unplug it, turn it upside down, and give it an aggressive shake from side to side for about 10 seconds, it was surprising what dropped out, which solved the problem.
Keyboards are relatively cheap, so it might be best to invest in a new one at some time in the future. You will always have your current one as a backup, if needed.
I hope this helps.
Find a keyboard you like, and use that.Actually I changed my keyboard to a new one i dont like and it works fine
