Help with odd behaving keyboard

[Martines91]

Hi everyone,

 

When I started my computer today my keyboard (asus rog claymore) started to behave weirdly, if I decide to type regularly then the keyboard produces multiple strokes, like this if I  type like this you can see it  produces   more spaaaaces than it should and if I d daaare     to press  a keeeyy  for more   than aa miliisseecccond  it will repeeeeeeat the  stroke  1000xx

 

If I want to type normally, I have to micro-press one key at a time, from last shut down I haven't changed anything on my PC. Has anyone had something similar  before?

 

Thanks

Plug in the keyboard to another PC and see what happens. If the same issue occurs, the keyboard could be faulty.

It might be worth cleaning your keyboard.

• Unplug your keyboard.
• Take off the keycaps and wash them with water and a bit of dishwashing soap.
• Clean off all the dust with a can of compressed air, or a cloth.
• Use some isopropyl alcohol (at least 70%) and cotton swabs (a microfiber cloth or a small soft brush will also work) to clean the switches. You don't need a lot of alcohol.
• Make sure the keycaps are dry and reassemble your keyboard.

Although, your issue sounds more like a software problem... maybe.

There's a setting in windows that controls this, type "Keyboard" into windows search  and press on the first one that comes up, and I think the setting you're looking for is repeat delay. Move the slider to the left to make it longer and see if that fixes your problem.

I have tried that, but it doesn't affect this, but I too think this is more of a software issue because as I said when I was turning off my PC last night it was all fine. By holding any button it multiplies itself by huge amount in a short moment. I know this will look silly but just typing letter a for 1 second results this: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

It feels like any button gets multiplied instantly and typed super fast

found the issue, it's ROG Armoury, I found it completely by accident, apparently something's got wrong with Profile 1 and it bugged out, switching to profile 2 fixed the issue... weird, thanks for the tips though, I appreciate it

good thing it was a software bug, I was going to say a switch or the controller on the board was going bad.  My Poker II will do this from time to time, but it's looking like I need to fix the solder on a few switches.
