when pressed, each key causes a few circuits to connect. The particular pattern of circuits is unique to each particular key.

Each circuit is shared by multiple keys. If one of those circuit is contaminated, it can affect the function of multiple keys, often causing them to act like other keys.

Is there a way to "reboot" your keyboard? Maybe pulling the battery? I'd try that.

After that, try taking the keyboard apart and blowing any dust or liquid out of it.

Good luck!
