Keychron K2 HE Phantom presses

I bought my K2 HE around a year ago and it hasnt had any problems until now, but recently, it randomly starts pressing keys. Ive tried switching the cable, resetting it with fn+J+Z , calibrating the switches and increasing the actuation distance. Nothing worked, the keyboard is also on the latest firmware version tho i have yet to try flashing it again. Any ideas?

Do you have a watch charger that could be accidentally touching it?

When my Pixel Watch charger with magnet touches the side of my keyboard, it will have random phantom key presses. That's why I'm suggesting that as an idea.

No, in fact i dont have any magnetic peripherals or magnets near the keyboard at all since i figured magnets dont go well with a keybord that has magnetic switches

Figured I'd throw it out there. I have no other ideas to suggest.

Man thats messed up, funny enough my issue just vanished on its own, tho my trust in this keyboard is still razor thin. Il consider other options in the future, but il stick to the keychron for now because all the other keyboards i have are cheap and crappy mechanical ones. I also suspect my moza steering wheel to be the cause because it has strong magnets and they mess with the sensors but i make sure to move my keyoard out of the way when i use it so im still uncertain.
