When my old SteelSeries 7 keyboard had repeating keys, I did a search and found no solution, other than people saying that the keys might need replacing. I fell asleep at my desk, woke up to find I poured an entire beer into the keyboard. It died, and I replaced it with a series 6 keyboard (the wrist rest from the 7 fits on the 6, yay!)
Anyway my series 6 keyboard started getting the repeating keys. I thought it's time for a DAS keyboard. I about gave up on Steel Series stuff. Before I bought the DAS, I did a search on my repeating key problem. Still came up with the same solutions that the keys needed replacing. I ran into an old computer friend who loved mechanical keyboards from way back in the 1980's. He said to try a lube spray. I did, and it worked! Here's a posting I just made on Amazon, posting here, hope it helps!
Because the keys are mechanical, over time, dust or whatever will start causing friction in some of the keys. For me it was the n, x, and e keys. I press one time and I get multiple characters. Here's how to fix it. You'll need a dry lubrication spray, I got mine from Home Depot for about $5.00. It's called Blaster Dry Lube. You can find it on Amazon, here's the link so you can see the exact one I used:
http://www.amazon.com/Blaster-16-TDL-The-Lube-9-3-Ounces/dp/B0002JM8HM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419735983&sr=8-1&keywords=blaster+dry+lube1. Take off all the keys. You might want to take a photo of the keyboard beforehand, so in case you mix up the keys, you can put them back correctly later.
2. With the keys off, vacuum the whole keyboard as best you can. If you don't have a vacuum, get a Q-Tip or a microfiber cloth, take the time to wipe between the keys, get everything as clean as you can.
3. Now, what you do with the spray is press down a key and spray it. You want the lube to go inside the key. You can wear a glove and use your finger to press the keys, or use a Q-Tip to press the key. You can just work on the keys that give problems, but if you have the time, do all the keys. Why not?
4. The Blaster dry lube will spray wet, but will dry almost instantly. When you spray a key, start pressing it up and down to work the lube in.
5. The lube will leave a white film when it dries all over the keyboard. It wipes off with a slightly damp cloth. Wipe the surface, you can go between the keys, but it'll be hard to get all the white film off. It's fine, it won't harm the keyboard. Just get the areas you can reach. Once you get the keys on, you won't see the white stuff.
6. Wipe the keys as you push them back on. This will take some time, and will help ensure the dry lube has time to dry more.
Done!
Hopefully this works for all of you with repeating keys. It saved me from plunking down $130 on a new DAS keyboard. But I'm so used to the SteelSeries wrist rest, I really don't want to use any other keyboard
