Apple Magic Keyboard acting weird I recently bought a new iMac and when I use my magic keyboard it types on its own and keeps entering the last key I pressed multiple times plus it is delayed in its response. I have switched to another magic board on the same computer and it is doing the same thing but working fine on my other computer. Please help!

Magic Keyboard issue Good day, I have an iMac running Monterey 12.6.7. Today my Magic Keyboard began inserting the number 4 and $ after typing in random letters. The letters appear, than followed by the 4 or $. So typing the word ‘conversion’ ends up as ‘conv4er4sion’. I’ve restarted the computer and disconnected the keyboard for a bit, but so far no good. No keys appear to be stuck. Any advice would be appreciated. If you need any more info on my system let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

I think it's a software issue, though is there any equipments which protects Bluetooth signal around your iMac?
