MSI gaming keyboards aare crap. Stuck with double typing. Any fix suggestions?

[IlanMS]

Uncle Google told me Many people have that problem (single typing gets doubled on some keys. I type"her" aand it comes out "heer" eetc. on my VIGOR GK41). MSI never acknowledged the problem, let alone issued a fix. +-*/

Usually this is a mechanical problem, RMA/repair is the only option

Key chattering is a common issue with mechanical switches, especially Cherry MX clones.

 

There's a simple solution that works most of the time. Take the keycap off, press the switch down, drop a few drops of alcohol in, work the switch out, let the alcohol evaporate/dry, and return the cap. If the issue persists, do it again, if three attempts fail the only solution is replacing the switch.

Rapidly triggering the switch; press-release-press-release a few dozen times.

Keyboard Chatter blocker, like This One (virustotal approveed) fix the chatter, but they add f***ing latency. Damn.

Do the alcohol.

Software band-aids like this always trade something for something, but in this case I think you can set the delay so short that it's almost impossible to feel the extra latency. After all you're blocking repetition of input, not the first input.
