Dunno. > It may be similar. FWIW, on one kernel I would get the 5's once in a while and that went away. The, with kernel-4.1.7-200 my caps lock light would turn on by itself but not be in caps mode.

keyboard oddity
For several years I have used a Logitech K800 keyboard on my primary desktop, currently running Fedora 22. Recently it has been acting up, sending a stream of fives (5's) as if I was holding down the five key and it was autorepeating. The 5's would appear sporadically, sometimes once a day, other times every couple of minutes. They appeared in xterm's, browsers, and other GUI apps and also when I switched to one of the virtual consoles not running X-windows. The 5's also appeared in virtual guest OS's. Assuming my keyboard was bad I purchased another kbd, Logitech K330. As expected, no 5's streamed from this new kbd. However when I installed the suspect K800 kbd on my other system (running CentOS 7.1), it acts normally, no 5's. Swap it back to Fedora 22, I get 5's. It has now been back to the CentOS system for 10 days and has not acted up once. Only on Fedora 22. Any clue as to what might cause such behavior on one system but not another? -- Jon H.
