So reently, I upgraded (debatable) to a HyperX AlloyFPS froma Corsair STRAFE (Both cherry MX Red switches)

 

And I seem to  hhave ran into the same problem with both keyboards,  The key's eitherdon't register that they've been pressed or they double type,as in if I press K it'll register it as KK, My spacebar also presses twice.

 

The whole reason I got a new keyboard was because of  this issue in the first place.. I quite  liked my strafe and I just figured that the keyboard was faulty but now I question how good red switches really are as both keyboards from different brands are encountering the same problem, I owned the strafe for about 2 monnths before it started having the issue, and I only recently bought the AlloyFPS  (About  2 weeks ago, and it's already doing the same thing.)

 

My question is: Has anybody else every encountered a similar problem with Cherry MX Red  switches, and if so.. How did you fix it? Or any recommendations..

 

It's sooooooo annoying being in-gamme (Especially competitive games such as CS when I can't  press CTRL and it doesn't allow me to crouch)

 

(I purposely didn't correct any of the mistyping's just so you can see what I mean..)

hmm, i have a strafe and the only problem i encounter is in CS Dangerzone,

I always alt-tab, becuase i try to use tab for the tablet, then want to crouch, but then I'm bad and miss the ctrl key, and hit alt, or if i want to exit the table while crouching, and hit alt-esc. XD

Well I wish I was just pressing the wrong buttons but sadly the buttons won't press until I smash them lol
