My keyboard sometimes doesn't detect the strockes or sometimes it writes multiple of the same character. I've already clean it up, I don't know what else to do.

Example without any corrections:

NGL that just looks like how I actually type when I'm not proof reading. 

 

It would help to know what keyboard you have and what you mean by "I've already clean it up," did you wipe down everything, did you tear it down to the PCB and clean off the contacts and membrane if it's a membrane keyboard, or did you disassemble each individual key switch if it's a mechanical keyboard?

It's a GameFactor Mechanical Kbg400 and no, I didn't went all the way to the pcb, just took out the keycaps and clean it up. Because it was working fine, didn't have this trouble and it's minor but is anoying, that's why I thought it was just dust or something but the problem still there

Then yeah, you probably should go to the PCB and see of there's any corrosion or crumbs stuck in there. This sounds like it's sticky switches, so it's not a bad idea to tear it down to the PCB and give it a bath in isopropyl alcohol to possibly break down any sort of thing getting stuck in there.
