Strange keyboard issues?

I recently became the proud owner of the Poseidon ZX from Ttesports and I'm glad to say it works like a charm... at home. However whenever I use it on my Mums Mac the Backspace and Space keys stop working. Alongside these problems the 'e' key forces a space every time you use it, e.g: 'Ste am' 'E le phant' 'e e e e e' etc. Does anyone have any idea what's causing these strange and seemingly random issues?

 

Edit: I've discovered other weird things too: 'd' highlights everything previously typed and 'g' sends the cursor to the beginning of the sentence.

So its purely a computer issue? I'm using my mums shitty MS membrane keyboard and as you can see there are none of the aforementioned problems, affectively ruling out it being something wrong with the computer.

Well some keyboards and mice have in their description (mac compatible) same for any usb headphones so there surely is something about Macs that is unique. I dont own a Mac, only used them at Uni with apple keyaboards. So im just letting u know it MIGHT be Macs problem.

Other thing that comes to my mind is: try all usb ports and see if problem continues.

Also try googling:

"your keyboard name/model" problem on mac laptop "name/model"

While u wait for answers here.
