Title: Need help figuring what is going on with the keyboard
Post by: superaffy on Thu, 20 June 2019, 19:34:30
Recently when I start typing with my Poker 2, the ZXCV keys are all acting weirdly.
When I type Z, it would become zxcvm, X to xcvm, C to cvm, V to vm, b to bn, n to n/, while the m key is the only one that's functioning well.

Is it a hardware problem or software problem? I don't recall spliting water recently on it.

That's something a bot would say :eek:

Seriously though there's been a lot of this lately.

Probably something with firmware. Reinstall the firmware, might help.

But the way you describe it is... unusual.

It could be a short along the Z row, if you take a look at the PCB do any of the diodes look burnt next to the affected keys?
