Magic keyboard comletely insane

Apple magic keyboard repeats characters endlessly. I followed the instructions to reset the pram etc and that works for about 30 minutes and the keyboard is back to it's same old crap. I don;t use it anymore and it's brand new along with this iMac.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.0

Boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
