Apple USB keyboard: some keys woking strangely.

Some of the number keys and the cursor keys produce unwanted behaviors: produced Mission Control when I type the 5 key of the 10-key pad, or the right cursor key.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

usb operates erratically I recently restarted my computer and found my external USB keyboard no longer works. When I type on it it acts like a mouse, jumping the cursor around and selecting things like a right click. I tried other keyboards and still have the problem for any connected to the USB port.

Hi,

Just wonder what happen if you connect the keyboard to other system. Does it produce same behaviors?

If so, your keyboard has hardware related issue.
