Keyboard "key chatter"?

[NeroSphere]

Hi Everybody,

 

Ive had my Corsair K70 RGB for some years now, its up to date on its firmware with the delightfully small and light program that is iCue which is oh so easy to use, just so you can make the lights go fun colours, but in the last 6 months various keys have started to double up. Spacebar on occasion. More commonly the S and N ones. Typing looks something like this:

"The ssnake was nnear the space sshuttle" though slightly exaggerated by me, it can be like this. Looks like im trying my best to speak Parseltongue.

I have tried the switch on the back to change which BIOS its on. 1 seems to be worse than the others for it. Any advice? New keyboard? Roll-back to a different version? 

 

Thanks!

If you can roll back to different version or older version, where you know it worked you can. If it dosen't work. It could be a hardware defect (seem likely if it's not all keys acting up) and I would RMA if still valid.

If you have some soldering skills you can try to replace de defective switches ... only do that if the keyboard is not under warranty anymore tho ... for the switches I don't know which ones you will need ... do you know which switches you have in your keyboard ?
