Just to clarify, isn't "ghosting" when out of the blue a "button press" happens without you pressing a button, with it happening most commonly on manic 2-player fighting games (i.e. Street Fighter 2)? If so, I'm noticing some ghosting, Is there any extra preventive measures that you can do about it, like disabling sticky keys or something? This is really a bother....

Ghosting is when keypresses are blocked by the fact that you're holding down another key already, not random keypresses.

Oops....my bad...is there anything I can do about random keypresses then?

Wrong, Ghosting occurs when a matrix-based keyboard encoder can't read the inputs correctly, and generates an additional key besides the ones already pressed.
Most modern keyboards employ blocking to avoid this, in which case one or more keys won't register when pressed if additional keys are held down.
None of this should be happening with the mini-pac, but you might want to contact Andy Warne with details (what buttons are showing up, when, with what other keys). . .

I am willing to bet you are seeing shifted functions.
