So I have been dealing with this weird problem, that I cannot determine whether hardware or software related.
I first noticed this when clicking on a drop down box, it would immediately collapse. I then hovered over an image, and the alt-text would cycle at a consistent rate.
It almost seemed like there were keyboard commands being polled, even though I was not pressing keys.
Even more strangely, none of these problems manifested in IE, and it was only web forms that suffered.
As far as hardware, my mouse is Logitech (G9x), and has their bloatware installed. KB is a Rosewill mechanical, with no bloatware installed.
Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer are up to date. I am on the fence with Windows 10 upgrade, but considering I have been using IE more now that I have this problem which only affects the hipster browsers, I am inclined to remember that Microsoft knows what they are doing.
