key repeat issues

I have turned off the "key repeat" for my MacBook Pro, however several keys continue to repeat. The keys that repeat most often are a, I, t, and o. Any ideas on how to fix this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Try cleaning the keyboard using the instructions in this Apple article:

Make sure to keep the can of compressed air completely upright or you can damage the laptop with the freezing cold wet propellant.
