Phantom keystrokes of letter "V" only

$
0
0

My computer randomly types the letter "V" intermittently, even when I'm not even touching the keyboard.

I have tried two different USB keyboards and two different USB ports and it still happens. It's ONLY the letter V.

It's unpredictable. It won't happen for ten minutes and then it starts happening.

As such, code I'm checking in is littered with errant v's everywhere.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Interesting new wrinkle

I just realized when I stomp on the floor or bump my desk, this triggers the phantom keystrokes of the letter V and sometimes B. So, it's clearly something physical. Internal mobo connectors maybe?
