When I type:

6 or 7 -- I get "67" either way

u or y -- I get "uy" either way

h or j -- I get "hj" either way

m or n -- I get "mn" either way

so right now I am having to edit most words so that it is legible which takes SO long and is so frustrating. If I was tuypimng mnormnalluy it wouyld be like thjis.

Before this, the "j" key was not working at all but then when it did start working, this issue occurred instead.

I had "j" in my password as well and it wouldnt let me do my touch ID so that was understandably stressful and I ended up having to just keep restarting my macbook until it worked ONCE for a singular use.

Then THJIS happened and there's no option to SEE your password youre typing so at first I was insanely confused as to why multiple digits were being typed when I was putting in my password and didnt know which ones were correct and luckily found a screen for somewhere mauybe trying to restart where I had to put in user amd password and I could obviously see on the user bit and figured it out from there.

would also like to note that if not noticed, the keys that are acting up go in a pretty much verticle line down the keyboard so there's that.

I will say single key issue, keys in a straight row, or keys associated on the diagonal like yours— typically indicate a hardware issue with the keyboard itself.

As a work around you can plug in an external keyboard and compare your results.

Keyboards do wear out.

Keyboards are replaced not repaired; typically this is an uppercase replacement.
