I'm having a really strange problem with my keyboard. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, but now whenever I press a key, it does something unpredictable. Sometimes it types out random characters, sometimes it changes the volume, or even opens the calculator. The craziest part is that every time I reboot my computer, the function of each key seems to change. I've already tried switching the USB port it's connected to, but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

It could be a hardware problem. If your keyboard is old, the internal circuitry might be failing. Try connecting a different keyboard and see if that fixes the issue. Also, check for any stuck keys or debris under the keys.
It sounds like your keyboard might be malfunctioning or possibly has a virus. Have you tried checking if it’s recognized correctly in your device manager? Sometimes you might need to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. If all else fails, you might want to try a different keyboard to see if the issue persists.
I've encountered similar issues before, and in some cases, it was due to software conflicts or corrupted settings. Try booting in safe mode to see if the problem continues. If it doesn’t happen in safe mode, there might be a software issue causing it.
