Welcome to the forums!

 

Looks like there's a short in your keyboard. Did you or someone else spill liquid on it sometime in the last couple months? That would explain it.

 

Are you on a desktop or laptop? It's not hard to clean the inside of a desktop keyboard, but cleaning a laptop keyboard is muuuch harder because well, it's stuck to the laptop.

I think what you want are Makros. There is plenty of software or hardware out there that lets you do this

Sounds like you want macros.

 

Solution 1: download a program like autohotkey
You'll probably have to use a combination of keys, e.g. Ctrl+1 to get 15 "q"s, but it's quite easy. The biggest advantage is that it's free, so try it & see if you like it or not.

 

Solution 2: buy a keyboard with macro keys

There are plenty of options, but one is the Logitech G613, which has 6 macro keys on the left-hand side. You can use Logitech's software to program what you want the buttons to do. This might be the best way to get macros with a single key, rather than key combinations.

i use hot keyboard just set what key you want pushed and record what you want it to do i guess in this case push another key 15 times. but this dose freeze the keyboard when it runs thow.
