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.
I'm getting random streams of 8s on a Logitech K330. I've rebooted,
unplugged the wireless receiver and changed the battery, all to no
avail.

I'm also using Fedora 22 and this is the first time I've seen this
happen.
As I mentioned before, the "plague of 5s" (a term NOT coined by me) was
reported against a specific, (at that time newly released) F22 kernel.
I suppose that your "plague of 8s" might be something similar. Dunno.
I think I was the original plague of 5 reporter. I replaced the keyboard
but the problem did not go away, thought it's less frequent. I'm
suspecting radio interference or something like that. I have 4 things on
my desk doing bluetooth, plus lots of WiFi in the immediate area.

I've moved the logitech dongle so it sits 3" from keyboard and the 5s
are gone.

I am getting random brief lockups in Gnome, but I suspect that's
something else.

When F23 comes out, I'm doing a clean install.

The Plague of Fives comes and goes with new releases of the kernel, completely at random. It doesn't afflict the present kernel, but it did afflict the one released before it.
