Keyboard adding extra character
Acer V3-111P laptop and when using the keyboard on the laptop, typing a certain letter that letter will add an extra character. Example, typing letter e, it will add ex, letter q will become q1, letter c will become hc. Not all letter will do that but there are a few.
I've reformatted the laptop already and updated the BIOS as well. Also deleted the keyboard driver and re-install after to no avail. Still the same thing to those letters.
Anyone have any clue?
Thanks.

Beg, borrow, or buy a USB keyboard and see if it does the same thing. If it does, you should look for malware. If it doesn't, you probably have a defectivr keyboard.

In this case, you can check using On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) and see if that works. To know how to do this, refer to the following links:
For Windows 8.1:

For Windows 7/Vista:

Hope this will help you.

Thank you both for replying.
Guess it is the hardware issue.
The OSK is fine when I'm using that to type.
Since it is only about 6 months old, hope I'll have it fix under warranty.
Thanks again.
