Sticky switch

[Justhavocman]

So , all of a sudden my K button sticks sometimes , and what i mean by that is that when i press it down i don't feel the actuation of the blue switch , it feels more like a brown or heavy red. I 've already tried blowing into the switch , is there anything else i can do before filing for an RMA?( Quickfire TK blue switches)

If it's dirty you can try using some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to try and clean out the switch, and of course unplug the keyboard before doing this.

The keyboard is 1,5 month old . But i'll give this a try tomorrow.

Yeah it's pretty new but if it's not just dirt or gunk on the side of the switch then I'd contact them and see what they can do.

Sounds like it was a faulty switch to being with or that spring that give it that click is broken, call up or contact Cooler Master and see if you can get it replaced.
