keyboard overtyping

0

Hi - I have a situation where what I am writing is being "over-written" while I am writing it.

Let me give a quick examples: "Hi guys how are you doing?" as I am writing would be perhaps be changed to: "Hi guts hoe are you doimg?" Typically the changes are single-letter mistypes, so they appear like I am making keyboard errors, but I am not making these errors. The keyboard input is being modified.

At first I thought this was mistypes, but the problem has become very bad & seems like it is either someone using a program to mess with my input or has implemented some type of script to edit my keyboard input. Can anyone assist me to figure out what I need to monitor on wireshark to figure the locational origin of these edits?

Whilst this is possibly some form of PEBCAK issue, Wireshark is unlikely to be able to help as your keyboard isn't connected to your PC by a network adaptor that Wireshark can capture network traffic on.

Have you tried another keyboard? Can you get someone else to try your keyboard?
