Macbook pro M1 started typing the number nine at random, and repeatedly... sometimes, I have to battle against long strings of nines being typed... Does anyone know what causes this9?

It seems to happen in 9w9hate9v9er application I'm using, whether it's a browser, a Word document, search engine... the most challenging is typing passwords 9where I 99can't see what's being typed... I can't usually tell when nines have been inserted because it inserts really fast... sometimes with multple nines... I've had a continuous string of nines start typi9ng in9 a pas9sword dialog box numerous times.

Anyone out there that has some insight9 in9to this9, I 9would 9tr99u9ly appreciate it.

P.S. I left the nines in this message on purpose so you can see what's happnening. Thanks.

well what I can say is issues with Keys associated in a straight line, or on a diagonal or issues with a individual key like yours typically points to a hardware issue.

You can try plugging in an external keyboard and compare your results...
