Meino: I agree with Joost. Things like this are almost always due to a dirty keyboard. Carefully take it apart, and give it a thorough cleaning. In my experience cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol are your friends.
If you need a stronger cleaner, or one that needs/has water, remove the PCB(s) and electronics first. Here's a guide on cleaning Model Ms specifically. https://learn.adafruit.com/convert-your-model-m-keyboard-to-bluetooth-with-bluefruit-ez-key-hid/how-to-clean-model-m-keyboard If the problem continues to occur, the next thing to check is probably the cable; make sure it's not frayed and in otherwise good condition. You can use a multimeter on resistance or continuity mode to check the continuity of the conductors (none of them are broken), and make sure none of the conductors are shorting/jumping to the others.
