iMac M1 Ventura - Magic Keyboard issues with any media player

Hello.

Ever since I bought my iMac M1, I have been having trouble with the keyboard.

I use Spotify and Apple Podcast while I work, and I've noticed that, out of nowhere, the keyboard seems to interfere with the commands on both media players. If I type, any random combination of keys will cause the song/episode to play back, jump forward, to rewind. I cannot use the computer and listen to anything, because whenever I type, this happens. It's impossible.

I've tried reinstalling the system and it worked for a while, but it all came back to the same issue without any actual changes on my end - it just happens, out of nowhere.

Would anyone know how to solve this? It's driving me mental.

Thanks for your support and suggestions, everyone, I truly appreciate it.

It turns out, it is the Magic Keyboard. It seems it arrived damaged, hence the continuous issues I've been facing ever since I bought it.

I got another keyboard from another brand with the sole purpose of running some tests, have been using it for a couple of days now and didn't have any problems.

I'll go to an iStore next week and deliver my Apple keyboard, as I have an active warranty.

Have a great week.
