Magical extra "o" sometimes when typing

[barkloaf]

I've been noticing this for a couple weeks now. I have been using a Corsair Strafe RGB w/ Browns for over two years now and this hasn't been an issue until a couple weeks ago.

When I'm typing, sometimes, when I hit the O key, it will type two, rather than one. I know 100% that I AM NOT pressing it twice. I have looked directly at the screen and saw the second one being pressed with a slight delay that I AM NOT doing myself. This is ONLY with the O key. It's really starting to annoy me.

I'm on the latest firmware, according to Corsair Utility Engine.

 

Is this a physical issue with the switch or is this a software issue or what? How could I fix it?

This is just a guess, but have had tried removing the keycap to see if there is anything stuck in the switch? Remove the P keycap too so you can compare.

Slowly press down on the bare O switch while Notepad is open. See if it triggers twice.

Ok, so I don't know if that actually is the issue, but 150 O's later w/o the cap didn't trigger it twice.

 

If it is, what could I do?

Put the cap back on and see if the issue has gone away. If it doesn't and you're sure it only happens when the keycap is on, I'm sure you can order a new one.

It is still pretty random... It might take a while, like until the next day, to find out if it's still doing it.
