How To Fix Mech Keyboard Double Typing/Chattering!

So did you just buy a $200 dollar mechanical keyboard and now it’s having issues that you were not expecting because you heard that mechanical keyboard last a really long time? But don’t worry because there is an easy fix for that

Buy 99% Isopropyl Alcohol:
======================

Check out HyperX Keyboard:
======================

So the issue that I have with this keyboard, is that it often types W twice when I only press that key once, so as you can see, I am typing W twice on every line before pressing enter, and it types it 3 or 4 times in many lines, and this can just make your keyboard unusable, and it’s something that you may not be able to solve with software.

So the only thing you need is very strong alcohol, like 99% isopropyl alcohol, this should be easily available at most places, and it’s important to use high concentration so it won’t leave anything behind when it evaporates

So the next step is to just unplug the keyboard and take out the keycap of the switch that is malfunctioning, and then you just have to pour some alcohol in the switch. Now I have seen people doing this while the keyboard is on, but I just don’t want to take any risks with any impurities getting to the switch while it’s on.

So after you have done that, just put the keycap back on, and start tapping it multiple times quickly, and just keep doing it for a while.
After the keyboard is satisfied with your tapping skills, just lay it down, and let the alcohol dry out. It should take around 15 minutes, but I still waited for an hour, just to be sure about it. You could also try blowing into the switch with compressed air, if just tapping it doesn’t solve this.
So just put the keycaps back on, and now let’s test if it still has this issue.

So as you can see, the key is functioning properly now, and there isn’t any line in which the w key has sent multiple keystrokes.

So it seems that this issue has been fixed, and you can of course do this with multiple keys if you have this issue. Now the reason for this might be some dust particles or other stuff going into the keyswitch, which the alcohol seems to remove. So if this doesn’t solve this, then you have some other issue causing the double typing.

Now, if you use alcohol that has absorbed moisture from air, or has any other impurities, this could damage your keyboard irreversibly, and might void your warranty, I just don’t have a service center in my city, otherwise I might have just claimed the warranty and got it replaced.

So all you need to do is make your keyboard drunk

Did exactly what you described and demonstrated. My I & A were doubling and even tripling. It worked first time. I used an oil free air compressor to dry. Thank you for taking the time to put this on youTube. Blessings.

"this might not actually work, so do worry" lmao

instructions unclear: I now have alcohol poisoning

Thanks bro! Had the problem with maybe 5-6 keys, really annoying. I decided to cleaned my entire keyboard, took all keys off, rubbed them clean with rubbing alcohol. And I also did this alcohol cleaning to every single key base (Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum). It's pretty much like new now, no problem anymore, only some keys are so worn that it's obviously been in heavy use for over 3 years 😂👍🏻 Thanks again!

Guy is freaking doing affiliate marketing in alcohol...

Was a little skeptical at first about pouring alcohol directly into the keyboard. But this actually works, no more double spaces for me. Thanks man.

I was so worried that my fairly new keyboard was already having hardware issues and all of the comments on Reddit were discouraging. Thank you so much!

Thank you, was seconds away from sending the RMA email because my "Q" button sometimes didn't register being pressed or did the double typing. Poured 96% ethyl acohol, onto my 'Q' key and left it overnight. Works like brand new!

I was about to buy a new £120 keyboard, I tried this as a last resort and it worked. Thanks a lot bro.

[abrarmahi]

This worked, I used 70% alcohol and it still worked just fine (for those wondering), just make sure to let it dry out for an additional 20-30 minutes to be on the safe side

I can't believe I can finally type freely on my 200€ keyboard!
Thanks to your video I was able to fix a problem I always had with mechanical keyboards!
Much love!

There is silicon base cleaning solutions that work best than alcohol, you can even use it with the keyboard plugged!!

Seems to have done the trick on my K70 Mk.2. I pulled all the keys and cleaned it properly then used a syringe filled with 99.9% isopropanol to put a few drops in each switch. Good as new! I don't have to proofread everything I type now, thank you 👍

Such a good solution. It fixed the problem perfectly. No unwanted double clicks on keyboard. Thanks a lot and have a great day!

So this worked for me as well. Instead of pouring the alcohol on the keyboard, I dipped a q-tip in the bottle and pushed the key in with the q-tip end; so the alcohol would be dispersed into the specific switch. I did it three times, and then cleaned the sides and my letter E key is now functioning perfectly fine! Still testing my "E" key, but apparently it is working with this hack. I also waited ten minutes after pouring the alcohol in, before booting up my PC. All is well, and thank you for your help!

I also have a Logitech G810. Instead of using alcohol I bought WD40-Electrical Spray. I had several keys chattering and the volume wheel was completely unprecise. Removed keycaps, sprayed the hell out of them (inside the switch), sprayed through the gap next to the volume wheel and now everything works like out of the box. Amazing
Very helpful video though!

Thank you, fixed my S and G keys. Now my job interviews will go more smooth.
