I am typing this on a keyboard that sometimes registers 2 keys at once. I know that you shouldn't slam your hardware, but hitting this keyboard seems to put it back in its normal state. The problem is never consistent and doesn't always affect the same keys.
I would buy a new keyboard if slamming it didn't make a difference. I now kind of have hope that its fixable. I have never opened up a keyboard before so I have no clue about what the inside looks like. Could an expert give his thoughts about this?
The keyboard I use is a Logitech Illuminated (laptop keys). A known issue with this keyboard is the Shift+W+Space blocking. I was lucky enough to receive a version that doesn't have that issue and that's the reason why I want to try and fix it before I buy a new one.

Unless you're really experienced with this sort of thing, it's usually not worth it to try to repair a keyboard unless it's a very valuable one. A Logitech scissor switch board is probably not worth repairing, I would just get a new keyboard if I were you.

I wouldn't really consider a keyboard a "life", at least not a mediocre Logitech one :p

I figured I could always ask if its fixable. I contacted a guy who still sells the old version of this keyboard, without the ghosting, so I guess I'm going for that one.
