For the past 3 months i've been dealing with my keyboard acting up. (i have a Razer Blackwidow V3 PRO) from time to time there are specific keys(changes every few hours) that type double sometimes triple the amount that i actually am pressing. ofcourse that's really annoying when you try to text people and even try to play games cause it really messes up my gameplay. So i'm really hoping that anyone can help me.

It's called 'chattering'

 

It happens to a lot of keyboards from time to time the quick fix is to adjust the keyboards 'debounce' time.  I had a quick skim over the net to see if you can adjust yours but couldn't find anything.  That's what you're looking for though a way to adjust your debounce.

 

Edit:

Debounce is a system that will 'shut off' the switch from activating for a period of time once the switch is activated.  My old Ducky One2 mini i used to have to increase this from 10ms up to 15ms to stop the 'T' key from chattering

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

@ChonkerFox is right here. But I have to add: Because you have the BlackWidow Pro v3 I am straight up going to say: If you've tried it on a different PC, and it still does this. The switches are dying and you cannot fix it with (the Razer) software.  I don't know if there is other software to delay the innevitable.

All Cherry MX type switches experience this, and even some others, and what can usually help is - taking the keycap off, pressing down the stem, adding a few drops of alcohol, working the switch out, and returning the cap. Sometimes it's needed to repeat the process a couple of times.

What happens is, from mechanical wear fine dust particles get stuck inside the switch and cause the issue. Alcohol often cleans it out.

Yeah but sometimes its straight up just the leaf getting structurally weak. But yeah sometimes it is dust and gamer goo.
