iMac typing 6 randomly

Hi every,


2014 i6Mac running with a wired keyboard


I keep getting a random 6 appearing in the middle of my typing. At other times things just go crazy and it is like the 6 button is being held down and mac continuously beeps until I press the space button.


Also noticed "question mark" is not working. Shift works with other keys and no problems with "/".


Have tried resetting the keyboard back to standard but no luck. Any suggestions

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

Test a different Keyboard.


Any USB Logitech, Generic or PC USB keyboard will work with your Mac
