Title: [Help] Apostrophe / "Quotes" key repeating on KBC Poker II
Post by: Its only worth on Tue, 29 April 2014, 16:40:32

I recently received my KBC Poker II in the mail yesterday, it uses blue mx switches. When I type the ' or " key, they often repeat, reulting in '' or "". This seems to only happen when touched lightly, and even though I usually bottom out anyway, it's still a pain because I tend not to touch that key very hard. Do you guys have a "noob-friendly" way of fixing this? The only thing I've done to a keyboard before is change the keycaps...

Thanks.

Check the solder job.  Post pics of the pcb and soldered joints and we can see if that might be the problem.

Could also be debris in the switch causing it to activates.
