Hit the v key -.-
Let me try that again.

I've been using this Razer Blackwidow for over 2 years and since ~1 week ago my v key has been acting weird.
It likes to output some bizarre combination of key presses, usually consisting of Caps Lock, x, v, #, ] and Enter.

To fix the issue I have tried: changing USB ports, unplugging the USB throughput cable, reinstalling keyboard drivers, cleaning the keyboard, uninstalling Razer Synapse and restarting my computer.
Restarting my computer worked some of the time, and the past 2 days my v key just started inexplicably working until I restarted my computer. However, I cannot find any consistent way to fix this problem.

I'm guessing it's a broken key switch. Just wondering if there are any other solutions to my problem before I try to fix/replace the keyboard.

Edit: For some reason my keyboard starts working like normal about an hour after my computer has been turned on and it is consistently doing this now.
