Has anyone experienced their keyboard either not responding to strokes or double typing a key? My keyboard is acting realky strange, and was wondering if I should have it looked at

Hello and welcome to the forum! :) For starters please provide some information: 1) What iPad model do you own; 2) What iOS is installed; and 3) Is this the 'on-screen' KB and/or a physical one, i.e. BT KB? Also, does the KB behave 'mysteriously' on one or more apps? Finally, any damage to the device, like a drop?

For starters, especially if this is a multi-app problem, 'Reset' the iPad according to the directions below - let us know and also provide answers to the above questions if the maneuver does not resolve the issue. Dave
.
When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom’) - iOS 7.x/8.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.

2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.

3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.

This happens to me all the time. Very annoying! I tried the reset. We'll see. Has this resolved your problems?
