MacBook keyboard acting very weird

Hi all, this started yesterday on my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro.


It seems in some screens, keys are being held down. They keys are either option or right-arrow. Possibly more but I know it's those 2 at minimum.How ever no keys are physically stuck. I have turned off all Bluetooth peripherals.


I can type normally for the most part. My issue is in random screens such as the following:

If I click on one of my Menu Bar widgets (1Pass, PIA, Dropbox, etc) I get an infinite scroll to the right. It keeps scrolling until I click past.


As I typed that last sentence, it started


If I App pExpose, all of the windows flickr as they are "hovered".This does not happen in regular Mission Control.


If I type in Spotlight, it gets autofilled.


If I click a link in Safari, it opens a new Window.


This has randomly started in middle of typing this post so there are weird typing errors because I can not go back as it starts auto scrolling. I can type wherever my cursor is and that's it.


I've tried rebooting.

I am currently with WiFi off if it was some remote access trojan (until I need to click Post).


Please help me figure out what is wrong. I am on 10.14.6 because I like iTunes. I don't even use it but I just like it existing, but I guess I can update if I have to...



I have visisted keyboardtester.com and it is not showing any key presses.

Never mind I had a USB receiver plugged in, the keyboard was on, and I moved it somewhere yesterday where some buttons were, you guessed it, pressed. Thank you for stopping by.
