While I have never had any formal training in typing and i am sure I am doing it all wrong I have to say that my ducky is hands down the worst keyboard I ever typed on. It just does not work for me...
sorry guys not hating here at all. I know it is a high quality board when I try to pick it up and have to go borrow a forklift and Its great for gaming. But there is no way in hell i would ever type another sentence on the ducky board. without fail no matter how careful I am the spacebar always double spaces and typo,s...omg typing a paragraph is torture. that is why I have 2 keyboards hooked up to my rig.
the ducky is for first person shooters only and I type on a $15.00 logitech wireless board. ....lol..but again it,s probably just me because i never had any typing classes. I stnad behind the ducky product though so dont get me wrong. but i would like to see newer models have some heart for the guy who types on forums and games.

Sounds more like there is an issue with your particular board than the board in general, Ducky is one of the most popular brands of keyboard on OCN (over 1/8th of the members in the mech board club own a Ducky according to the spreadsheet) and I don't remember hearing of anyone else having the same problem.

It sounds like a defective board, or switch. I had a Gen 1 Rosewill RK9000 that had three keys go bad, and start double-switching (one on downstroke, and one on upstroke of the switch). It was using Blues. I haven't really used the keyboard, but the switches are cheap to buy, and the board is easy enough to work on. I'd wager that's probably the issue, or the typematic rate of the computer could be adjusted (possibly). Some BIOS/UEFI will allow for that, or for handing off to the OS, but I believe that's more for PS/2 than for USB.

Have you tried connecting it to another computer, or using PS/2, or USB? Do you know what switch type you have? I had a problem pressing the key down on browns to get them to activate. Browns feel kind of stick to me, so I make mistakes more often. Blues are my favorites, and I love the feel/noise they make. My backup would be Reds, just for the linear feel.

I hope some of this helps.
