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.

Tried it as you recommended, no error. I can connect my external hard drives both directly and through a USB 3.0 hub, but any keyboard connected--either via dongle or directly USB wired--screws up the mouse, both the pad and external Bluetooth mice. Touching keys on the keyboards jumps the cursor around and selects stuff. Inserting a keyboard dongle without a keyboard connected also screws up the mouse.
