Fat fingers?
Can you swap out the 'bad' keyboard - see if that solves your problem?

I have learned that a keyboard is much like a camera--it’s the person using it that controls what happens, not the instrument itself.
I am, by the way, one of the worst typists in the world.

I see you're getting a "6" when you hit the "h" key and a "5" when you hit the "g" key.

Keyboards of good quality are available for reasonable prices. Shop around, read reviews, and ask here.

I would clean it first. Shake it upside down, and blow air in there - while it's upside down. I go farther and pry off each key and clean under it. Be careful because not all key caps are removable, and you have to be careful putting them back. Naturally, you'd do this with the computer turned off. If that doesn't work, start shopping.

Cleaned it and left it set all night. Works great. maybe dirty contacts.
