I had a problem with the butterfly keyboard on my 2018 macbook pro. Several keys would spontaneously press twice. I thought the problem could only be solved by physical repair, but I was wrong. Maybe this method will help you too.
The problem: several keys on my mac would spontaneously either type a character twice or not at all. This was a real pain in the ass since I type a lot.
I thought the problem was dust or physical breakage, which these keyboards are prone to. But I was wrong, thankfully!
The problem was with the SMC or System Management Controller. I don't know exactly what was wrong with it, but a simple reset did the trick. You can read how to do it on Apple's website, here:

There are 2 ways to do it, the second one worked for me. If it helps to you: great! Now you can continue to stack your sats for something more important than that.
If you still have the problem, then it wasn't the SMC (unfortunately). In that case, to ease your pain, I would recommend installing a small utility called Unshaky:

It blocks spontaneous keystrokes and is highly customizable.
Good luck!
