hi guys,
so i've been using the Realforce 87USW for a while now and, every now and then, after pressing a key, it will just keep spamming the letter (or whatever was pressed).
like just now; i was typing a word with the letter 'v' in it, and it just went 'vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv', after i had already depressed/released the key.
unfortunately i don't know why or how it happens, and i can't seem to just reproduce it.
it's happened with a bunch of other keys as well, but i can't remember which keys they were.
the keyboard is pretty new and still entirely clean. i never eat or drink near my keyboard.
the only obvious explanation i could think of is a guest having dumped something on my board, but I sincerely doubt that would've happened without me noticing..
not a single key sticks, so i'm confident it wasn't some drink that got spilled by a guest.
so, my question: has anyone ever experienced something like this with a (realforce) keyboard? maybe it's something that 'can happen' with the topre 'electrostatic capacitive' design?
it happens very little, and thus is not a huge problem, but naturally i would prefer to have this 'fixed', or to at least know what's going on/why it might be happening.
well, at least thanks for reading :-)
cheers
additional notes:
it's never happened on any of my cherry boards.
this is the only topre board i've owned.

Happens on my 91UDK every now and then. Would be interested in knowing why it happens. I've had to unplug my keyboard to resolve the issue
