My keyboard is adding extra spaces, how do I stop this?

As I'm typing, it will randomly add spaces. It happens within words, and randomly between words. It's super inconsistent. Pressing "shift" also adds a space. Sometime it's as if the space bar is being constantly pressed and the curser moves across the page. How can I stop it from doing this? I'm sick of all the typos.


I'm using the magic keyboard with Touch ID. It's pretty new, I bought it only a few months ago.

Mac mini, macOS 15.2

if it was me then I would try to login to the guest account and see if it's the same deal

and or maybe test it with another computer to verify it's not a hardware malfunction if it is then I would return it

under warranty as quick as possible
