I had similar issues. Found a fix around. This app (Unshaky) will stop your mac from pressing keys multiple times (you have to configure the app, its pretty simple and straight forward). my problem was that my keyboard kept on pressing the option key instead of just holding. This app worked with me.. Hope it helps.

Apple are currently offering free keyboard repairs on many 2015 through 2017 MacBook and MacBook Pro models, even if they’re out of warranty. If you have one of those models then back it up and book a Genius Bar appointment.
