Keyboard doesnt work . two letters are typed at the same time

Hi everyone!

my keyboard is working very strange.

When i press letter t , the w is pressed as well

The same happens with letter g ( s)

The same happens with letter b (x)

The interesting thing is that these letters are in different lines and they are all separated to to the one that is also pressed by 2 keys in the middle. It seems like it was forming a pattern or a circuit.

I took the keys out to clean them but they seem to be ok.

Help !!!!! what should i do?

One possible reason is the battery is swollen and pressing up on the keys.

(Does you Macbook have a battery you can remove easily, the kind with a slot on the bottom to release the battery? If it does, remove the battery and test the keys using the power adpater.)

But I suspect this is a newer model, because the battery is on the left side (looking down on the computer), as are the misbehaving keys.

Suggest you make an appointment and ask an Apple genius to take a look. Diagnostics are free. If in fact you need a new battery they will do it for you. You only pay for the battery.
