Random Keys Whenever I get on my MacBook Pro (2013) I have a consistent key that disrupts usage. Sometimes it is the “G” key and whenever I type it’s like I’m holding the key down. Another time it will be the down arrow, selecting another option or scrolling to the bottom of the page. I know I cannot disable the internal keyboard and even when using a separate keyboard and mouse the issue persists. How can I fix this?

After a few days, the number '9' will be pressed etc. My laptop keys are not physically pressed down. Is this a hardware or software issue? How to resolve it?
