[Bug 1579190] Re: Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Xubuntu 16.04 and using logitech k800.
The only way to stop the issue is by logging out of the desktop. I'll be
trying the patched kernel today. I hope it works.

Bug description:
I have a K520 Logitech keyboard and sometimes something starts to keep pressing key 5.
It mostly happens when I leave the computer alone for some time, but sometimes also just during regular usage.
It seems that this is a Linux specific issue as no one is complaining
about this issue under Windows, but a couple of people are complaining
for different versions of Ubuntu.
It is always 5 and WladyXX3740 claims on the Logitech forum that:
"happens on Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, does not happen on Ubuntu 15.04, probably kernel related."
Here is where most of the people are complaining:

I discovered that this is related to my Logitech keyboard by running this command:
xinput test-xi2 --root
Here is the device list:
