My title explains my issue with my keybbboard. I’m nott going back to correct my mistakes in this sentence juust so I can illustttrate
So, I keep having my keys getting double or triple pressed and it’s getting extremely frustrating. Has anyone encountered this before? It’s pretty clean, about three years old. Razer product. I have never spilled anything on it so I don’t really know how things are seemingly stuck when pressed, but not actually stuck… The key presses normally but I get x2 or x3 on some specific letters. Mostly with U and T but it’s happening with others as well.
It’s been making for frustrating gameplay having to retype every other word I use in WoW. Lately, I’ve just not been typing to people or chatting. This issue isn’t specific to WoW either just to be clear. Does anyone have a fix? Do I need to try and pop the keys out or something?
Update Razer Synapse, which will hopefully fix it. If not, take off all your keycaps, use canned air and blow out the crap from around the switches. Take that time to also clean your keycaps individually with a microfiber cloth or a slightly damp washcloth.
I use noise cancelling headphones so that helps a lot. When talking to peeps on discord i use RTX voice so they don’t hear how loud the switches really are lol.
If you are experiencing key chattering, as known as keypresses registering twice, double letters typing keys, or miss typing keys, you may want to do few troubleshooting steps and see where the problem is coming from.
Mechanical switch typically is composed of a stem, metal spring, switch housing and metal leaves. Metal leaves contain two metal components that register keypress when in contact, and it is a natural occurrence when key switch chattering as known as “contact bouncing” happens.
Key switch chattering, or “contact bouncing”, is a natural occurrence in all mechanical switches which can cause a switch press be detected as multiple presses.
However, there may be other factors can cause key switch chattering. It may be the USB cable between your computer and keyboard, the USB port from your computer is not communicating well with the keyboard, or operating system driver was not installed properly.
We recommended you try following steps if it can be resolved:
Try the keyboard on a different computer.
Try with a different USB cable.
Use USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.0 port on your system.
Connect the keyboard to your computer USB port 2.0 directly. Do not use any USB hub.
Make sure no other thing jamming the switch
Some random article I found.
If multiple keys were affected at the same time like mine though I’d assume it wouldn’t be contact bouncing.
I’m upgrading to a Razer Black Widow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 with green switches.
I was using a Corsair K68 with reds that I liked, but my dog chewed up the cable and I replaced it with a Logitech G613 wireless Romer-G tactile switch.
Now, the Logitech is actually pretty good, but I use two keyboards on my desktop and with the full 104 keys + the G keys on the left, this keyboard is taking up way too much space.
So I am going to change to this TKL Razer and I will have two TKL boards on my desktop which will be better for my layout. My other work keyboard is a cheap Velocitire TKL02 with Outemu browns that are great for work.
Tagging this post in case I experience similar problems.
And it would send complete sentence retypes, weirdest freaking thing I have ever seen. You would plug it in and it would start sending keypresses without even touching the keys.
