typing issue

13" MacBook Pro 2020 M1 17,1, bought new in November 2021

While typing my curser will randomly skip back several words and insert the letters between previous words. This is happening more and more frequently, seems to happen when using the keys on far right side of keyboard around the colon or L keys, happens more often when typing fast, but not always. It's very annoying, I don't want to have to constantly stop and go back to correct and retype. I've checked to see if I'm accidentally hitting the return or shift keys and I am not. Is this a defect in keyboard or a hardware issue covered by the 1 year warranty?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Hi,

Try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports keyboard related error(NDK001, NDK003, NDK004).

Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

Yes, defects keyboard or hardware issue are covered by one year limited warranty.
