MSI-1651 keyboard and mouse commands happen on their own

So I just got my 1651 and am having a weird problem with the keyboard and mouse executing commands on their own or act goofy at times. The weird part is it even does it while in the bios. While navigating the menus it randomly hit enter constantly or scroll left or right. If I hit caps lock, num lock or scroll lock it will make it stop and then it will act fine for awhile after that.

Then in Windows I will notice the same symptons but it happens with the mouse too. Sometimes the mouse will shoot back and forth across the screen or will double click when I try to just highlight something. The bios is updated to the latest revision and I have all the drivers installed. I also installed the Synaptics driver so I could turn off the touchpad tapping feature.

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms and have any advice what I should check?

 

Fn +f3. odds are you are just tapping around on the track pad while typing.

 

Alright I will try that but does the trackpad even do anything while in the bios? I am not at home currently so I can't check right now.

 

Bumping this because I am still wondering if this has happened to anybody else. I have a usb keyboard and usb mouse plugged in. I disabled the touchpad with the synaptics driver/options and it still freaks out while using the external peripherals. It seems that its hitting enter repeatedly because if I try to highlight the address bar in my web browser it will make the click noise and refresh the page like I hit enter. Or if I hit the start menu it tended to goto Turn Off Computer and put it in stand by.

 

I also have a MSI 1651 (from Power Notebooks). Something similar happens to me all the time. The problem for me is that extra keystrokes seem to be randomly inserted. I also have keystrokes that seem repeat themselves when I have not held the key down. I don't think I've ever seen the enter key repeated like yours, but I will sometimes have keystrokes from the number row inserted while I type. At first, I thought I was just fat-fingering them. But after months of observing this, I'm absolutely positive that I am not touching those keys when it happens.

 

I've had my 1651 for about a week now and I am having the same thing happen to me. I don't see that it ever does anything while I'm not typing, but only while I'm typing or have a key pressed. In WoW for example I use AWSD for movement and sometimes it will switch to the chat like I pressed /, or a spell will be cast that I know for a fact I did not do.

 

You might want to try updating the bios. To see if that changes anything.

 

That's kind of what I wondered would fix this issue. I haven't updated to the BIOS that enables the turbo button yet so maybe that will fix it. Do any of you having this same issue use the BIOS that came on the barebones 1651 or the GT628 BIOS?

 

My apologies for reviving an old thread, but has anybody found a solution for this? I have an MSI GX623, which is the same as the 1651, that had the keyboard-types-by-itself problem right out of the box. Like many others, at first I thought I was hitting the wrong key or maybe striking the touchpad by accident, but the problem is definitely there.

I'm reluctant to send it in for repair because it's an intermittent problem. A repair guy would probably just boot it up, type a couple of keys, conclude that everything is okay, and bill me for wasting his time.

edit: Similar behavior has been reported on the official MSI forum.
