Title: Das 3 professional keyboard key sticky
Post by: SirClickAlot on Mon, 19 July 2010, 06:40:11

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZtkTOhxJnY) happens to my '-' key I almost never use on my DAS K3 Pro. Sometimes it sticks and doesn't produce a click. It registers properly though, but somehow I find this very annoying for such an expensive keyboard.

I wonder if this is a quality issue with DAS or Cherry?

metadot would no doubt honor a free exchange if you're having an issue with a key. you should simply contact their support line on their website.

my das S didnt have any sticky or problematic keys, fwiw.

but i will say that i do think cherry switches in general are a bit flakey; of the two scorpius m10's i owned, one did have sticky key (keyb replaced by the seller for free). So long as the customer support is 'full-service' i dont think you need to worry.

but it just goes to show that cherries are not, after all, buckling springs ;)

Is it the - key from the numpad? If so, high five, I have the same problem! It sticks to the bottom side of the switch.

yeah I was thinking to myself, is this the same thread. Very strange, good thing you didn't get a DAS from NCIX ;)
