They all fail eventually. Unfortunately, some do it sooner than they should. They can test to make sure every key works at the factory, but no way to know which ones will fail on key press number 350,000.
Crazy how I've bought cheap keyboard my entire life and they've never given me issues asides from drops/massive spills. First time I buy an "expensive" keyboard, nothing but issues. The amount of corrections I needed to make typing this is insane.
Got that same exact keyboard in the mail today and didnt realize until later that the "B" key would double press. This trick fixed my issue immediately, thanks man! bbbbbbbbbb :)
If you have a faulty switch, you can also swap the faulty switch with another good switch that you never use, such as the bottom right ALT, FN, CTRL or menu switches. Or even the top right PRTSC, SCRLK and PAUSE switches. I do this whenever one of my switches double-clicks.
I already wanted to replace the keys completely, but with air spray the problem has fortunately solved, a lot of dirt came out of the keys and fortunately it no longer writes double letters. Thank you very much.
I was halfway through writing an essay for school when all of my E's started double or even triple-typing themselves. It was absolutely infuriating and I tried lots of things including restarting my computer. Turns out I just needed to remove the key and blow some air into it. I didn't even have compressed air, I just gave it a few good blows, and it completely fixed the problem. The E Man, you really lived up to your name.
Well I'm glad I could help you figure out EExactly how to fix it lol! But for real, double typing is super annoying when writing, glad you could resolve the issue, hope you get a good mark!
omg i tried what you did too and it seems to be working for me too! just that in my case is c and i gave it a few good blows. hopefully this would last!!
@@THEEMan been some time since I tried it, and it's working now !! slightly long msg if anyone's interested. I got my 2nd keyboard from taoabao (china amazon) and the "c" key kept giving me issues, almost had to pay for return and all. so glad I came across this vid! After giving it a few hard blows, it was double/triple typing lesser, and after a few days it miraculously worked properly. so all's good and I don't have to get a new keyboard wooohooo~ :D
Crazy. Have the exact same keyboard (G815) and had this issue right out of the box on multiple keys. The isopropyl fixed it instantly. But as others have said, truly shameful that this is something the end user has to service for such "high end" devices. A true testament to the current state of quality for all elections and components. Doesn't matter what you pay anymore. Thank you so much for this tut.
Thank you for the help. Cleaning it by blowing compressed air (well, okay, I used an electronic dust blower thingie on the highest setting) into the switch fixed my e key!
Lol I clicked on your video because my E key is broken today and thought its a common issue when I read your youtube channel name. Thx E Man, I'll givee it a try!
I have a Razer blackwidow v3 tkl and i just sprayed a can of compressed air around the affected key without removing the key cap and it solved the issue. It was probably just some dirt or debris messing with the activation.
Okay so the space on my keyboard (5 year old Razer Blackwidow) was double typing, happened after i cleaned my keyboard. Tried with a blow gun, vacuum. It only worked when I poured the 99% alcohol inside the switch while pressing it, the tactile sound started to be audible again and when i turned it on, it was fixed. Thank god, saved me from buying a new keyboard. Thanks!
Over the past few months I suddenly had my typing go from working normally, to double typing/not typing certain keys, to a few days later fixing itself completely, to breaking again, to fixing itself again, back and forth several times. Yesterday I couldn't type without tons of errors and today, having done nothing to fix it, everything is typing perfectly again. Does anyone know what the issue is that's happening here? It seems quite clearly not to be a physical keyboard issue at all.
@@THEEMan Thanks much for taking the time to reply. So this keyboard is a Logitech G810, it's fairly new and is in excellent condition. The wire is a heavy braided wire. One of the things I tried doing was simply unplugging and re-plugging it, but the problem persisted, so I don't think it's a damaged or a loose wire issue. I'm concerned that it's a virus or some sort of piggy-backing going on but I couldn't find anything in a google search for this issue aside from fixes that have to do with the keys physically needing cleaning. I don't recall how many times it's happened now, but it will work perfectly and then for a few days or a week it will suddenly get constant double typing and key presses not registering, and then the next day without my having done anything it will go back to working perfectly for weeks.
@@myrrhbear I've never heard of a virus messing with keystrokes registering, but I won't say that's impossible. I know when my keyboard gets dirty it'll only effect it sometimes, coming and going. But the fact that cleaning doesn't work, I can't say what the problem is. It's possible the key switches need to be re-soldered, maybe the physical connections on the board are weak? But that's behind my know how, I'd probably pay someone to fix that for me.
@@myrrhbear I have EXACTLY the same issue with my G810. It's really incosistently broken. Some days the whole keyboard double taps, others it works mostly fine.

It makes me think maybe it's something possibly specific to the G810 since that's also what I'm using. If you ever find a solution I'd be very appreciative to know what it was. So far I haven't found any solution. Right now it's been a couple of weeks without any double typing happening at all, but that's what happened before, and then it came back, went away a while, came back, etc...
I showed this to my friend. He goes "I'm a man like Clarkson. I like Tools. When i had a keyboard issue i took a hammer. After one to three swings it worked perfectly." The funny part is. I was there when he did so; and legit it fixed his stuck key.
guys if u have hotswap keyboard and it happens you need to add layer of tin on your switches, also i have this problem only with gateron switches and similar, cherry mx have thick enough legs and there is no problem
Important: I don't talk about lubrication in the video. The alcohol will remove most or all of the switch's lubrication and this should be replaced, you can buy a tube of switch lube cheap on Amazon. If this problem persists, you can keep reapplying the treatment, but you might just have to replace a switch, which in most cases will require a soldering iron.
Thank you so much for the solution. I bought G915 keyboard in 2020 and it is the best keyboard I've ever had by far. I don't want to change it by another.

It is not in guarantee anymore and your solution worked for me!! Thanks! Let see how much time it will work 🤞🏻Should I apply some lubrication as you say in this message or just continue working with it until next double typing?
I own a TTEsports Poseidon Z with Kailh Blue Switches. Around 2 Years after purchase the Key Chattering started. And it was bad. Really bad. At the time I had a backup Keyboard lying around (later got fried thanks to a USB port connected to a Firewire. Lol) and never really gave it too much thought at first. At some point it started to bug me, and being a technical person I came to the conclusion that maybe a chip or so got fried. Or some contacts just shorted. I opened the Keyboard and tried to ascertain if there was any damage. None. Even tested the conductor paths. Nothing. After some more research I found out the Problem was common and called Key Chattering. I never even thought of that before. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Don't think to complicated, even if it is something you do on an every day basis. And for every German watching this, you can simply use some lighter fluid as well. (In Germany this gets used for cleaning quite a lot.) Thank you for the Video mate.
I can see that, I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes it's cause by an actually faulty switch, not uncommon for Logitech. I'd try to return it or have it replaced via warranty
I'm experiencing a strange issue with my mechanical keyboard. When I press the right arrow key, it not only moves the cursor right but also sends additional signals, such as typing the number "0" or occasionally triggering the "Insert" key. This behavior occurs inconsistently but frequently enough to disrupt my work. Here's what I've tried so far: Tested on both Windows and Linux: The problem persists across different operating systems, so it doesn't seem to be a software issue. Changed USB ports and cables: No change in behavior.
because i dont own any compressed air, and I'm too lazy to go to the store to buy any. Instead I blew on the switch and it fixed the double clicking problem. lol
What anime is your outro song from? I know I recognize it, but I cannot place it for the life of me! EDIT: Nvm found it, The second op from Hero Academy, good stuff!
Logitech peripherals are just poorly made and overpriced these days. My G913 is still under warranty and it's already having the double typing issue. My MX Anywhere 3 is having clicking issues with the left button (also under warranty)... I'm speechless. I'm without speech.
I chose this kind keyboard because in lot video said the benefit it can least for "forever" but no one ever mention this problem. now I experienced it and feel very disapointed like I hope never choice it.
For me, it may be a problem in Windows because no matter what keyboard I use, it writes twice and when I use the keyboard on my friend's PC, everything works normally
I bought a loogitech keybooard and I am totally furious that this is soo common. I thought buying logitech was like buying toyota. Can you tell which key is doouble pressing?
While very useful tip, I'm truly perplexed why you didn't mentioned replacing the faulty switch, like, at all, instead going to the nuclear "replace the keyboard"... lol
You definitely have point there. I didn't want to cover soldering in this video, but I could have mentioned it as an option. I figured for the majority of users with non-hot-swappable keyboards, returning a faulty board covered by a warranty is a more likely option.
I've had this bullshit happening for over a week on the newest replacement of my Logitech G513 kkeyboard. I'm on my 4th replacement at this point. Frankly, Logitech needs to get their shit together.
Someone in the comments stated it doesn't sound the same, the person who made this video stated in response maybe it acted as lubrication. Let me clear something up, switches use lubrication, when you use alcohol especially 99 percent alcohol but any really, you strip the lubricating oil out. This is not a wise thing to do. Typically you use alcohol to clean electrical contacts and that's why his method is working, but you are stripping the lube from the switch itself. You will need to re-lubricate the switch, go look up a video on how to do it. If you have hot swappable switches absolutely don't use this method, take the switch out, clean contacts, and relube the switch if needed. After blowing it out of course.
This is an oversight with my video, I should have mentioned to relubricate the switch. I meant this video as a quick fix, which is why I suggest returning the keyboard instead of trying to unsolder and resolder the troublesome switch, since most users won't. But I will add a note about lubrication to the pinned comment, thank you for this comment!
@@THEEMan hey no worries man, I honestly didn't expect a reply lol. You did a service by bringing content to help people I hope you don't take my comment as a negative. It also turned me on to checking out other content of yours. Thanks for vids man.
believe it or not this can be a software issue as well. i have one of those razer black widow keyboards and it had some weird double typing going on, but once I had razer synapse installed and running, the problem completely went away.
I recommend using an Air Duster & Vacuum Cleaner 2 in 1 instead of compressed air as this can damage your electronic devices over time as I have recently learnt this.
@@gamernature That only happens if you're overusing and tilting your can for a while. You'll feel it get cold in the hand before that happens though in which case just let it rest for a minute or two. Important part is bursting it, not holding it when using.
@@ExySmexy I do know that and also I have worked in IT and watched video's so I Recommend not using it as I use to use canned air and now stopped because it can cause damage to equipment overtime. I now use a eleltric rechargable e in 1 air blower and vacuum as it is much safer.
Like the oil for putting on cutting blades and clippers? I never considered that as an option, but I wouldn't recommend it, putting anything in the switch that won't evaporat could potentially mess up the switch
I have a question, I bought a new mechanical keyboard and in the past few days, the keyboard has been producing a double keystroke and then it stops after a few seconds. However, it happened again the next day for a few seconds. Is it normal for a mechanical keyboard or should I replace it? thank you
i have used 70% isopropyl alcohol but only used it when the switch was out of the keyboard. it seems to have fixed my issue tho. is it fine that i did so?
@@refleccos2079 My dude did you fix the space bar problem? I just bought the same keyboard tkl version and I'm having the same problem with my P key. the keyboard looks an feels nice, I'm just disappointed because of this issue.
Tomorrow i'll try the compressed air and if worse comes to worse i'll try the 99% alchool, i did try to blow, and it's really odd. The issue istantly goes away even with a quick blow, and it comes back with TIME not even by pressing the key, any ideas? Like, if dirt was the issue, it should not come back without even pressing the key down, it should eventually come back cause it's stuck in there, but if the switch was faulty it shouldn't be fixing itself with a quick blow.. Sooo yeah, don't really know wtf is going on
I feel you man, I've had the issue come back after a while even after doing the alcohol treatment. I think some key switches are just more prone to having the issue, like maybe they aren't attached as well or something and let more dust in. Anyway, good luck with cleaning your key!
for me its not just one or two keys, its literally all of them, and it not just double presses, it rapidfires any key i just barely press. it started just now, and im clueless on what to do
I have never tried the alcohol thing. Too afraid to try. What I initially did was swap the switches (I don't throw them away as they might still be usable). But when this turned out to be costly as more and more switches are having chatter after just 2 months (Glorious Pandas), I decided to install the Keyboard Chattering Fix software which does take away the chatter but not the non-responsive keys. So I changed all switches to Drop + Invyr Holy Pandas and still chattering started after 2 months though of course I was not bothered anymore because of the chattering fix. Then lo and behold, I changed my keycaps from SA to MT3 to finally cherry keycaps and all chatter simply disappeared. Even if I am still using the chatter fix software at the end of the day, my logs always show 0 chatter. It really is probably the stem. Plus I always make sure to blow air into my switches once in a while and ensure that they are still not getting loose as sometimes happen with hot-swaps when you are using the keyboard too vigorously.
How is it possible that a literal keycap would fix a problem? I would understand if a switch did the fix but ironically you said they are the problem after two months.
@@innogz6200 it's because the higher the profile the more wobbly they are which can also cause the chattering. at least on my GP they were. so when I changed to the lower profile, the wobble was noticeably gone and so was the chatter
I was thinking the same. My RK61 which has a default OEM profile is working fine even after doing some mods, but after I changed my keycap to cherry profile, a few keys start to chatter. I'm also using the software you mentioned but it didnt help me that much. Now, I'm waiting for the new switch which I hope solve the chattering (tho i already tried using extra switches but nothing happened so i bought other kind of switch). If it still didnt solve my prob, then i might stick to the default keycaps 😭😭
I would argue that applying alcohol and massaging the switch is significantly less risky than all the soldering you have to do to replace the switch; especially if you're an amateur.
I use 95% alcohol bought from a pharmacy, waited 15 minutes for it to dry. The issue is gone but I thinksome switches are not clicky anymore... Some have lost their tactility even. I don't know what I did wrong.
That is a pretty severe reaction, but the alcohol probably also removed the switch's lubrication, you can get some new switch lube pretty cheap on Amazon. That might help.
@@THEEMan Thankfully it's not a big deal for me right now, otherwise I would need replace the swithces eventually and resoldering with a cheap soldering iron can be hard.
I think they are made to fail... My g512 started to have issues a few months after the warranty expired. It seemed somewhat randomly as sometimes i noticed doubled letters or missing ones or added ones in weird places of my words. Just now and then but became more and more often and annoying. So i tried to drop some alcohol in between the plastic somewhat like here and didn't fix anything. Then went and desoldered the switches that i thought were problematic, open them and cleaned them and issues persisted. Desoldered them again and replaced them with others less used from f keys, pause, scroll lock and such. Seemed to had worked for a while but started to have issues again and didn't had the papers with my notes so i guessed if the issues are new keys or same ones. It would seem are mostly the same. So i figured maybe to try and change them altogether but didn't found romer g switches locally so i bought a second hand g910 which the seller said it has only a few keys with issues. After testing it it had a lot more than my g512 even though initially seemed being mostly in good working condition. Its issues were similarly random making it difficult to determine which ones are faulty and which are good to use. So then i went back to my 512 and to my surprise was working way better with almost no issues, but after several weeks the repeating annoying issues came back. Now i'm suspecting that maybe the switches may not have issues at all and the problem be with the board's chip or somethin like that. And seeing many others having similar issues it may be that it's either intentional or they cut some corners in their build and the chip or something on the board fails that results in some sort of ghosting and repeating inputs.
I bought this keybbooard and withhin 2 weeks of using it ssoo many keys double click (it was 160$) thhis is ridiculoous seeing as i boughht 2 othher before this and they broke within 3 wweeks, i guess 400 $ cant even buy you a couple months of a keybboard thhat works. (im not even boothering correcting the typos jusst to show yall hhow terrible it is) DEFINETELY RETURNING THIS.
It's unacceptable that expensive keyboards like these have issues like this even in the first place.
Ironic, my 10$ keyboard doesnt double-click, while the 130$ cherry mx blue....
Same with my romer g keyboard. A quarter of the board multi types or doesn’t type consistently at all.
They all fail eventually. Unfortunately, some do it sooner than they should. They can test to make sure every key works at the factory, but no way to know which ones will fail on key press number 350,000.
I just bought the razer blackwidov v3 TKL yesterday and it sometimes double clicks, it pisses me off

Here's what I've tried so far:
Tested on both Windows and Linux: The problem persists across different operating systems, so it doesn't seem to be a software issue.
Changed USB ports and cables: No change in behavior.
Thank you for the video!
because i dont own any compressed air, and I'm too lazy to go to the store to buy any. Instead I blew on the switch and it fixed the double clicking problem. lol
Hey, if it works, it works lol
What anime is your outro song from? I know I recognize it, but I cannot place it for the life of me!
EDIT: Nvm found it, The second op from Hero Academy, good stuff!
What a surprise, you're doing this with the exact keyboard I'm having this issue with.
Yeah, this keyboard is straight up cursed
My Logitech G810 haas the saame problem so I decided to “upgrade” to the G815 😳
Logitech peripherals are just poorly made and overpriced these days. My G913 is still under warranty and it's already having the double typing issue. My MX Anywhere 3 is having clicking issues with the left button (also under warranty)... I'm speechless. I'm without speech.
It worked thanks you alot. All you need is making the keyboard drunk
drowning my keyboard in isopropanol really did the trick for me thanks
worked for me! thank you very much :)
thanks man, compressed air fixed it
Excellent...the air and 99.9% Alcohol fixed my 6 year old Logitech G513 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with repeating keys
How about contact cleaner?
I would avoid putting anything that contains chemicals into the switch
The alcohol fixed it and I was just about to get a new keyboard (300$!), thanks!
Glad I could help!
THANKS
when im watching this video cause my keyboard is broken, it randomly fix it self XD
I have the same keyboard and my w key is the problem too.... what's up with that?
Ive had the same issue with 2 different keyboards - I doubt its a hardware issue. Logitech and cooler master my cheapo works fine
I did this! All I did was a air spray and fix the double typing of a certain keys.
I chose this kind keyboard because in lot video said the benefit it can least for "forever" but no one ever mention this problem. now I experienced it and feel very disapointed like I hope never choice it.
thx. but i have to clean it alot of the time since it keeps doing it again but i used a hair dryer and it worked perfectly i also found hair strands
Nice, glad to hear you got it working!
For me, it may be a problem in Windows because no matter what keyboard I use, it writes twice and when I use the keyboard on my friend's PC, everything works normally
I bought a loogitech keybooard and I am totally furious that this is soo common. I thought buying logitech was like buying toyota. Can you tell which key is doouble pressing?
offcourse he uses the best game as a example
You're dang right
While very useful tip, I'm truly perplexed why you didn't mentioned replacing the faulty switch, like, at all, instead going to the nuclear "replace the keyboard"... lol
You definitely have point there. I didn't want to cover soldering in this video, but I could have mentioned it as an option. I figured for the majority of users with non-hot-swappable keyboards, returning a faulty board covered by a warranty is a more likely option.
can i use 99% ethanol because idk if there'll be a difference from isopropyl or ethanol
Better to use isopropyl as it is often better at cleaning and evaporates faster
@@THEEMan so something like 90% should be fine, right/
@@preslavnedyalkov5432 yeah, 90% isopropyl should be just fine
Would 90% alcohol still work or is that unsafe?
It's not recommended, but honestly it should be fine. A lot of the time I use 50% for surface stuff, but it's a risk.
I've had this bullshit happening for over a week on the newest replacement of my Logitech G513 kkeyboard. I'm on my 4th replacement at this point. Frankly, Logitech needs to get their shit together.
Can I use 91% isopropyl alcohol?
Yeah, that should work just fine. Also that is a really weird concentration lol
Someone in the comments stated it doesn't sound the same, the person who made this video stated in response maybe it acted as lubrication.
Let me clear something up, switches use lubrication, when you use alcohol especially 99 percent alcohol but any really, you strip the lubricating oil out. This is not a wise thing to do. Typically you use alcohol to clean electrical contacts and that's why his method is working, but you are stripping the lube from the switch itself. You will need to re-lubricate the switch, go look up a video on how to do it.
If you have hot swappable switches absolutely don't use this method, take the switch out, clean contacts, and relube the switch if needed. After blowing it out of course.
This is an oversight with my video, I should have mentioned to relubricate the switch. I meant this video as a quick fix, which is why I suggest returning the keyboard instead of trying to unsolder and resolder the troublesome switch, since most users won't. But I will add a note about lubrication to the pinned comment, thank you for this comment!
@@THEEMan hey no worries man, I honestly didn't expect a reply lol. You did a service by bringing content to help people I hope you don't take my comment as a negative. It also turned me on to checking out other content of yours. Thanks for vids man.
believe it or not this can be a software issue as well. i have one of those razer black widow keyboards and it had some weird double typing going on, but once I had razer synapse installed and running, the problem completely went away.
That's got to be the best possible scenario. But it is a good point, I should have made the first step be: double check it's not a software issue.
When i press Q, give me QE, R, RY, T, TU and some others, i have the lightspeed 915
I already smashed mine, why did I not watch this before 😅
is it really safe to pour alcohol into keyboard?
Is isopropyl alcohol moisturizer will work?
I recommend using an Air Duster & Vacuum Cleaner 2 in 1 instead of compressed air as this can damage your electronic devices over time as I have recently learnt this.
Thanks for the information, I recently ordered a air blower on Amazon just for the reusability aspect, but the possibility of damage is good to know!
You messed something up, compressed air is.... compressed air. It cant damage anything
@@ExySmexy Compressed can damage stuff as it has a high pressure liquid gas inside and if that gets on Electronics it will break.
@@gamernature That only happens if you're overusing and tilting your can for a while. You'll feel it get cold in the hand before that happens though in which case just let it rest for a minute or two. Important part is bursting it, not holding it when using.
@@ExySmexy I do know that and also I have worked in IT and watched video's so I Recommend not using it as I use to use canned air and now stopped because it can cause damage to equipment overtime. I now use a eleltric rechargable e in 1 air blower and vacuum as it is much safer.
What about clipper oil instead of alcohol?
Like the oil for putting on cutting blades and clippers? I never considered that as an option, but I wouldn't recommend it, putting anything in the switch that won't evaporat could potentially mess up the switch
@@THEEMan oups, well it fixed my double typing problem at the moment
@@DJBV nice! well hey, if it worked for you that's all that really matters my dude!
My keys are loaded up with spooge. I don't know how to get it out.
would any 99% Isopropyl Alcohol work fine? or does it need to be electronic grade ?
Electronic grade is usually guaranteed to not damage anything, but realistically any 99% should work fine
Well, 99% is considered to be electronic grade imo.
mine I think is a board problem I tried this, even bought new switch but still doing this thing
i have a question my keybord dosnt press w and e at the same time and just donst press is that a problem or is it normal
I have a question, I bought a new mechanical keyboard and in the past few days, the keyboard has been producing a double keystroke and then it stops after a few seconds. However, it happened again the next day for a few seconds. Is it normal for a mechanical keyboard or should I replace it? thank you
i have used 70% isopropyl alcohol but only used it when the switch was out of the keyboard. it seems to have fixed my issue tho. is it fine that i did so?
I bought 2 new keyboard 2 weeks ago started the PC and both have this problem know. How is this possible?
I had this problem in my g915, E key first time. returned it for new one. and now its spacebar...
Yeah, seems like a common problem with this design
my spacebar is also having this problem and its not even a year old
@@refleccos2079 I started having problems after only 2 months
@@refleccos2079 My dude did you fix the space bar problem? I just bought the same keyboard tkl version and I'm having the same problem with my P key.
the keyboard looks an feels nice, I'm just disappointed because of this issue.
Tomorrow i'll try the compressed air and if worse comes to worse i'll try the 99% alchool, i did try to blow, and it's really odd. The issue istantly goes away even with a quick blow, and it comes back with TIME not even by pressing the key, any ideas? Like, if dirt was the issue, it should not come back without even pressing the key down, it should eventually come back cause it's stuck in there, but if the switch was faulty it shouldn't be fixing itself with a quick blow.. Sooo yeah, don't really know wtf is going on
I feel you man, I've had the issue come back after a while even after doing the alcohol treatment. I think some key switches are just more prone to having the issue, like maybe they aren't attached as well or something and let more dust in. Anyway, good luck with cleaning your key!
I revive my logitech orion keyborad... thanks!
Can I use water if I don’t have alcohol?
Unfortunately no. Water, even distilled, could cause serious damage to insides of the key switches
N O
for me its not just one or two keys, its literally all of them, and it not just double presses, it rapidfires any key i just barely press. it started just now, and im clueless on what to do
I have never tried the alcohol thing. Too afraid to try. What I initially did was swap the switches (I don't throw them away as they might still be usable). But when this turned out to be costly as more and more switches are having chatter after just 2 months (Glorious Pandas), I decided to install the Keyboard Chattering Fix software which does take away the chatter but not the non-responsive keys. So I changed all switches to Drop + Invyr Holy Pandas and still chattering started after 2 months though of course I was not bothered anymore because of the chattering fix. Then lo and behold, I changed my keycaps from SA to MT3 to finally cherry keycaps and all chatter simply disappeared. Even if I am still using the chatter fix software at the end of the day, my logs always show 0 chatter. It really is probably the stem. Plus I always make sure to blow air into my switches once in a while and ensure that they are still not getting loose as sometimes happen with hot-swaps when you are using the keyboard too vigorously.
How is it possible that a literal keycap would fix a problem? I would understand if a switch did the fix but ironically you said they are the problem after two months.
@@innogz6200 it's because the higher the profile the more wobbly they are which can also cause the chattering. at least on my GP they were. so when I changed to the lower profile, the wobble was noticeably gone and so was the chatter
@@innogz6200 It is just a plug to download that 'software'
I was thinking the same. My RK61 which has a default OEM profile is working fine even after doing some mods, but after I changed my keycap to cherry profile, a few keys start to chatter. I'm also using the software you mentioned but it didnt help me that much. Now, I'm waiting for the new switch which I hope solve the chattering (tho i already tried using extra switches but nothing happened so i bought other kind of switch). If it still didnt solve my prob, then i might stick to the default keycaps 😭😭
I would argue that applying alcohol and massaging the switch is significantly less risky than all the soldering you have to do to replace the switch; especially if you're an amateur.
Thanks, saved my keyboard
i installed in my friend pc but no problem . but when i install to my pc . its randomly type and always open my media aps
I use 95% alcohol bought from a pharmacy, waited 15 minutes for it to dry. The issue is gone but I thinksome switches are not clicky anymore... Some have lost their tactility even. I don't know what I did wrong.
That is a pretty severe reaction, but the alcohol probably also removed the switch's lubrication, you can get some new switch lube pretty cheap on Amazon. That might help.
@@THEEMan Thankfully it's not a big deal for me right now, otherwise I would need replace the swithces eventually and resoldering with a cheap soldering iron can be hard.
2008 Logitech G15 keyboard is still working, but my 2021 Logitech G910 fails just out of warranttttttty.
That's always how it happens
I think they are made to fail...
My g512 started to have issues a few months after the warranty expired. It seemed somewhat randomly as sometimes i noticed doubled letters or missing ones or added ones in weird places of my words. Just now and then but became more and more often and annoying.
So i tried to drop some alcohol in between the plastic somewhat like here and didn't fix anything. Then went and desoldered the switches that i thought were problematic, open them and cleaned them and issues persisted. Desoldered them again and replaced them with others less used from f keys, pause, scroll lock and such.
Seemed to had worked for a while but started to have issues again and didn't had the papers with my notes so i guessed if the issues are new keys or same ones. It would seem are mostly the same.
So i figured maybe to try and change them altogether but didn't found romer g switches locally so i bought a second hand g910 which the seller said it has only a few keys with issues. After testing it it had a lot more than my g512 even though initially seemed being mostly in good working condition. Its issues were similarly random making it difficult to determine which ones are faulty and which are good to use.
So then i went back to my 512 and to my surprise was working way better with almost no issues, but after several weeks the repeating annoying issues came back.
Now i'm suspecting that maybe the switches may not have issues at all and the problem be with the board's chip or somethin like that. And seeing many others having similar issues it may be that it's either intentional or they cut some corners in their build and the chip or something on the board fails that results in some sort of ghosting and repeating inputs.
My final straw on Logitech G products. Double typing right out of the box.
@@ivan5595 yeah same here. That keyboard from the video has long since been replaced with a SteelSeries which has so far not had a single problem.
I bought this keybbooard and withhin 2 weeks of using it ssoo many keys double click (it was 160$) thhis is ridiculoous seeing as i boughht 2 othher before this and they broke within 3 wweeks, i guess 400 $ cant even buy you a couple months of a keybboard thhat works. (im not even boothering correcting the typos jusst to show yall hhow terrible it is) DEFINETELY RETURNING THIS.
i will try this.. I have multiple click when i press one key
Best of luck!
