Q: iPad 2 uncontrolled key strokes

Hello Dana,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If the screen on your iPad is responding erratically including what looks like pressing on its own, then I'd like you to please follow the steps below.

Fix your touchscreen

Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:

1. If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
2. Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
3. Unplug your device.
4. Restart your device. If you can't restart, force your device to restart.

If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support

Cheers.
