So basically whenever i press DEL on my keyboard it completely scrambles my inputs, dragging files on my desktop just makes copies of them, pressing keys on my keyboard either
1. Doesn't do anything
2. Types some weird character/symbol
3. "Simulates" some kind of shortcut, for example opening a new tab etc.
The only way ive managed to fix it is just smashing my numpad a few times (and no it's nothing to do with numlock, i've tried)
Also whenever I press DEL, the inputs go weird the same way, every key does the same thing as the last time i pressed DEL, and reset it with smashing my numpad, also i can somewhat "stack" the DELs, if i press DEL numerous times it just jumbles up the inputs more and more.
I really need some help with this, I've searched for quite a while but no one seems to have quite the same problem as me.
 
Things to try while waiting on others to comment

Clean the keyboard
Create a different user on the system see if it happens
Boot into safe mode and see if it replicates
Try a different keyboard
try a different port for the keyboard
