Broken K60
« on: Sat, 27 October 2012, 00:01:39 »
I recently bought a used/broken K60. I Plugged it in and it powers on just fine. But the keys have a Ghosting affect when pressed down. What could the causes be? It ghosts many keys near it either through its column or row. What are the likely causes?
Thanks.

It is a known problem in both the K60 and K90. They've tried to address it through firmware, but consensus is that it has not worked, and it is a problem that cannot be fixed.

Ill probably take the switches. What is the affected part? The controler? Could I still sell the pcb?

Since they can't seem to fix it in the firmware, I'm betting the PCB is a big part of the problem.

Is it physical? I have seen some odd looking solder areas. Ill post some photos in a little.

Chances are it's the matrix design far more than the quality of assembly.
