Title: keys are repeating sometimes wtf iis this
Post by: armenws on Mon, 02 April 2012, 14:44:57
when I type "i" sometimes two "ii"s come out instead, which is what is happening as I am writing this plea for help.

Somewhere I read that it's a switch problem. The keyboard is a filco tenkeyless - do I have to take it apart and install a new blue cherry switch?

It's refered to as keychatter before doing that check your warranty and check it on another computer and a different port USB + PS/2, I think it can also be caused dust/hair so compressed air might work. Theres quite a few threads about it so shouldn't be to hard to decide what to do.
