Keyboard Problems
Whenever I try to type some certain letters, it will add more. Like when I try to type E it will generally type WE. A few other keys are like this as well. Any suggestions? And yes, I already tried cleaning out the keyboard.

It has to be something wrong with the keyboard itself, is it a well used keyboard? Seems to happen to me after a couple years of solid use. Typing a lot of papers and long emails daily. See if you can get ahold of a friends keyboard or borrow one from work and give it a try. I have never heard of a hardware issue causing something like that other than an aging keyboard. Let us know what happens! PS. You can pick up a cheap keyboard for $6-10 at walmart or target, but investing in a Logitech or Saitek is a way to prolong the life and have a very nice keyboard to type on.
I am almost 100% sure that is the problem then, simple wear out of the little rubber/plastic board that senses pressure. If you have ever seen on of the little rubber buttons underneath, you will understand why they are (generally) rated for either 1 or 10 million presses, building RC cars I run into a lot of switches that are rated for even less (100,000) and keypad controls have similar side effects when they begin to wear. A few friends use G15's but another awesome keyboard (I personally prefer the looks and feel) is the Saitek Eclipse. Just a thought, but its about 20-25 bucks cheaper and is a very cool looking and feeling keyboard. Available in blue and red backlit keys.
