Ghost typing on my 2020 MacBook Air

I’m having issues with my hyphen key ghost typing. The key isn’t stuck but the computer seems to think it is and acts as though it is. It renders my MacBook almost unusable. Sometimes hitting surround keys (like =) temporarily stops it.

the only correlation I’ve noticed is that it seems to either get better or worse by opening and closing the lid.

it’s so bad that I can’t even shut down the computer and leave the lid open. The computer thinks a key is being pressed and will start the computer a few seconds after shutting- down.

I’ve tried resetting SMC and that did nothing.

I have the 2020 M1 MacBook Air.-

Did you have a liquid spill into the keyboard? Even still its hit or miss with a single key failing. You could try replacing the keycap & hinge unit to see if that helps, but beyond that it would require either replacing the discreet keyboard which is not for the faint of heart as you literally need to rip the old one out as you need to break it free from the plastic rivets which hold it in Replacement US Keyboard Keycaps Key Caps for MacBook Air 13 inch 2020 M1 A2337 A2179, Full Keycap with Removal Tool Don't forget to get the needed screws! While cheaper its not an easy job I don't even do it any more as its too hard for my arthritic hands. I only replace the full uppercase unit MacBook Air 13" (A2179, Early 2020) Upper Case with Keyboard so while its pricy it ends up being the better repair as the pulling of the keyboard out often warps the case and makes remounting of the new keyboard a bit spongy if you forget the 80 or so screws to replace the rivets.
