My Mac Pro is acting like a key is stuck

My 2022 MacBook pro has just recently started acting strange, but only intermittently.


At times it will act as though a keyboard key is stuck ( 0 ) and make the constant dinging sound.

I already have checked and there is no dirty or it not appears to be mechanically the problem


I only use the built-in keyboard but I have tried to use a wireless one, the issue is the same...

Several times I've been able to reboot the computer to resolve the issue, but other times it does not solve the issue on the first try.


I really have no idea what it would be, but it's extremely frustrating. If anyone has any thoughts on what it might be please let me know!

I figure it out, it was a bluetooth mouse causing the issue, yes I also couldn't believe, but after replacing it for another one it works well, the key** was not being pressed like a crazy...


I'm positive about the mouse, because if I plug it in again the issue get back.

if a key is stuck, adding another keyboard will not fix that, because the Mac uses 'all devices active' model for keyboards. You can literally type every other keystroke from every other keyboard.


Use keyboard viewer to see if a key is (effectively) stuck. If it is, you will need a repair.
