Have you any access to another USB board, even if it is from a PC? It should work with your Mac even if it doesn't have the right markings on the keys. Another item to check is the key delay and repeat rate that you have set in the keyboard preference setting. You may have the delay set to an interval that is too short and the repeat rate set to a high speed and holding the key for more than a NY second could be causing the doubling.
