Cheap Mechanical keyboard has issues :'( please help!

Hello! :'( 

 

BACK STORY

so I bought this keyboard  Poseidon Z RGB by Thermaltake,  from a random computer store not so reputable, 

I got it used for 3000rs, round about 30USD 

the guy before hand told me this keyboard has problems, but I bought it thinking I would be able to fix it 
he gave me without the box or any accessories just the plain keyboard

 

THE ISSUES

1) - it had severe amount of chatter 

2) - some keys did not work until pressed really hard 

 

so about the chatter, 

the guy told me about the chatter, and online i found a software that counters it , if there is a better fix that works, Plz do tell

 

things I tried to counter the 2nd issue

1- updated the driver and firmware

2- removed the keycap, pressed the switch and blew on it

 

Additional info
1) the switches are kailh blue 

2) im from pakistan , there are no customer support or warranties 

3) some one suggested i spray the keyboard and  switches with WD-40 and let it dry out

4) this is my first mechanical keyboard 

5) im poor , my monthly allowance is around 30$ and most of the time i am not even given that because of financial problems

 

MY THOUGHTS on this KEYBOARD

 

I F---ing love this thing, it so BEAUTIFUL and feels amazing to type on it, Please , PLEASE ! help me fix it , typing feels amazing however is a mess when we see the text typed ,

and if there is type of info needed please do tell

there is probably dirt in the switches, if you can do it, open them up and clean them out. this can be risky if you are not careful and some switches cant be opened and then put together right so be carefull of that too. Khali swiches are low quality in the first place and i generaly wont recomend anyone buying them, there are other swiches that are better in the same price boards often, like Gateron switches. if you have access to an air compressor ot canned air you can try using that to blow on the switches

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
