WIRED Keyboard applying spaces without space being touched!

Why & how to fix?
And it's not even a dirt thing - this is a brand new keyboard, I only connected it up a couple days or so ago.
Logitech G213.
Connected direct to a USB port as part of the motherboard, not an expansion card.
EDIT: It might not be a space bar issue. It might be the keyboard. I've just responded to someone on a FB group & I'm fairly sure I didn't double tap the letter o but it inserted 2 anyway.

As the broken comment is the closest one to being a helpful reply, is that a genuine response or is it on par with the comments that followed?
Reason I ask is because the last keyboard also did this from time to time. Not really with what I had with the 'o' I mentioned (but as said I'm not 100% if I did or didn't double tap it. I don't think I did) but certainly it did it with the spacebar - and that was a wired keyboard also.0 -
Sounds like a hardware problem (can you return it)?
This setting may help if you can't exchange it.

Only thing is I've binned the packaging now.
What makes me question whether it's a hardware issue though is that
A) it's not impossible but on a brand new item it's unlikely.
I had the issue with the previous keyboard, also wired.
Which makes me think it's something on the computer side of things, be it usb ports or windows 10.1 -
Do you have another computer you can try it on? Maybe your TV has a USB port so you could even try that perhaps?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Credit Cards, Savings & investments, and Budgeting & Bank Accounts boards.
