So a few months ago, my computer started randomly typing "ws7890" for no apparent reason. It annoyed me endlessly, but then just stopped before I could do much. And now it's back.

The typing is slow, and happens at an rough interval of about six minutes. It doesn't interrupt normal input, but interacts with applications as if the button were pressed (anything listening for keycodes).

If anyone could offer some insight into this, I would appreciate it very much. For now, I will list some system info on a pastebin and look into any unwanted processes that may be running in the background. (https://paste.sr.ht/~siarune/7fd1a9a34dbe9a744a1e2bcbe25bbafa35aaa68d)
