Magic Keyboard space bar typing on it's own

I had connected the magic keyboard. And the space bar started to continuously be activated without pressing it. When I opened the Macbook Air, to type from the in-built keyboard, the same issue happened on the Macbook Air as well. .

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

You should have disclosed which MacBook Air do you have? I am assuming that it is not the new M1 MacBook Air and will offer up some suggestions based on this assumption. Please see below-

  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
