Virus or worm in my computer that's undetectable?

Hi

Today while in discord I encountered an error where things started being typed in my chat section and entered, random digits, and started spamming the chat. Some of the links were to a final fantasy achievement, http://xivdb.com/achievement/2107/ultimatum , and other random characters at about 15 entries per second. I unplugged my keyboard, a Corsair K55 and it stopped. Im now using a standard Dell USB keyboard and the issue stops.

 

Checking task manager, nothing starts running out of the ordinary when I plug the keyboard back in. I ran MalwareBytes, SpyBot, CCleaner and nothing has been found. Everytime I plug the keyboard back in it starts typing again, this last time also opening up this page https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum?sort=LastReplyDate&dir=Desc&tab=All&status=all&mod=&modAge=&advFil=&postedAfter=&postedBefore=&threadType=All&isFilterExpanded=false&page=1 as if its trying to spread itself. I am not signed into Microsoft or the email app on this PC so nothing can be sent out. My results from "datemodified:" in file explorer show nothing out of the ordinary, all related to Rainbow Six Seige and Rocket League. "tasklist" in comand prompt gives me the same result with the keyboard plugged in and without it, which i will link a file containing those results. 

 

This does not occur when my keyboard is plugged into another PC, so I know that it is stationary on mine for the time being. Someone please help if they know anything, i leave for college in 10 days. Thank you.

Darren.
