    external keyboard weirdness


    i have laptop which keyboard dont work. i used an external keyboard with it for awhile with no problems.
    then i sold my desktop (with the keyboard), and bought another keyboard.
    now this keyboard will type on its own for instance i'll press "a" then a hole lot of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa will type by itself.
    does that with any key i press. when its doing that the pc also makes beeps sounds.........

    ive updated keyboard driver , sticky .toggle an filter keys all off.
    exchanged keyboard with another new one , same thing...
    what else can i do?

    nope, forgot to mention i checked device manager everything looks good
    also tried all the usb ports,makes no difference.
    ran keyboard troubleshooter - nothing
    ran sfc /scannow - nothing
    ran malwarebytes scan - nothing
    set repeat delay to longest and repeat rate to slowest - nothing

    UPDATE:
    ok now this is really weird...seems the placement of the external keyboard makes a difference.
    if i place it on table at the bottom of laptop ,it acts up , if i place keyboard on top of laptops keyboard its FINE!
    makes no sense ,but anyhoooow...i can type again without cursing
    (note to self---get laptops keyboard fixed asap)
    just strange the other external keyboard i used didnt act like this one

    ALSO: when i had keyboard placed at bottom of laptop i noticed that if i say for instance open 1 browser on laptop screen and another browser on external monitor (have dual screen setup) , the mouse curser would be laggy at 1st but eventually come right. i just put it down to my graphics probably crappy.
    but now that ive moved keyboard on top of lappys keyboard ,the mouse action is also normal again,no lagging between screens.
    obviously theres some kind of interference at bottom of laptop with this keyboard....

    WEIRD
