Keyboard problems...(?!)

Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:05 pm

Lately i've encountered wierd shit with my keyboard, or any other device.
I've started typing a sentence, then at random something i typed in the past pops up by itself.
Where the mouse is clicking, what i've typed pops automatically up as if i was typing it myself. I got Norton Antivirus, where i've done countless scans for virus or any kind of malware that would try to ruin my computer.

It's like if they're recording each button i press, then putting it back later, wich creeps me out. I've tried using a different normal old keyboard without any success though, the ghosting still comes up, and im alway afraid that my password pops up and gets thrown out into the chat where everyone can see it. (Wich actually nearly happened if i didnt react that fast)

Im scared shitless if there is a keylogger that has avoided my scans, and that is just watching what i say ;_;

So is there any computer geniouses here that have had the same problem, or know a solution of this wierd, scary, and annoying problem.

Yes it does support macro keys. I currently have a Microsoft Sidewinder x4 keyboard with 6 macro keys.
It has 3 different modes , 1 normal mode, and 2 gaming modes.

I'm afraid you would uninstall the driver but you can uninstall it via Device Manager (search it in start menu)

To reinstall / update, check the product name of the device and google it with "driver windows 7" at the end. Internet is the best source for driver updates.

Looks like it happened again, but this time i know when it happens.
And what triggers it.

When i press the ''Mode'' button that changes between gaming & standard mode it starts to write stuff out.
Is there any explination for why it does it when i press the mode button?

I think it's because your keyboard is instead of enabling ghosting keys, its actually "pressing" them.
