When I type, parts of words I type repeats itself

I have a Macbook Air and for the past few days when I type, parts of words I type repeats itself. For example I type Mike and Mikeike appears. Any solution?

Typing on Mac: Keys Repeat or Additional Letters are Added Hi there - I've run into a new issue on my Macbook in that when I am typing, I will find keys will be repeated even though I do not press them, or the mac often appears to have a mind of its own and add into an additional string of letters. I've turned off the repeat key slider in the system preferences but I still seem to run into this issue. Any thoughts would be most appreciated!
