Any V60 GTR (or any GTR switch board owners) experiencing spacebar chatter?

[jcoffin1981]

My original board was unusuable because of the relentless chatter.  My new board is only doing it  I don't know, 5-10% of the  time which is much more tolerable than 30-50% of the time.

I  have a feeling that it's in the design of the switch.  If I hit  the spacebar on the left side  and then the right it WILL chatter.  But I like the board too much to give it up.

The board I've got is a KBP V60 with Gateron Yellows and I was experiencing somewhat frequent spacebar chattering - the space bar was double registering upon a regular keypress. My keyboard came with the 1.06 firmware installed, chances are yours probably does too. In case there's anybody out there experiencing spacebar chatter on a V60 with Gateron switches, here's what I did to fix mine:

• Revert all the DIP switches to their stock position;
• Download the 1.07 firmware here - rename the file to .exe and then execute it;
• Click on "Connect";
• After a couple of seconds you should be able to see your current firmware and it will probably be 1.06;
• Click on "Program" and wait, the firmware will be updated to 1.07;
• The keyboard should start working back again after a couple of seconds, if not close the updater, unplug and replug the board;
• Keychatter is now fixed, don't forget to reposition the DIP switches at your convenience.

In case you need to downgrade back to the 1.06 firmware for whatever reason here's the download link.

I hope this quick guide helps, I found it at KBParadise's Facebook page posted at March 2nd, 2015.

I forgot to mention that I have already  upgraded to the v107 firmware.  One thing that I did not do is turn t h e dipswitches back to their original position, so I did it again.   It's too soon  to tell if it made  a difference.  Well actually,  just  in  the last  two sentences I can see probably 5 or 6 extra  spaces, so no it didn't help.  Thank you for looking into that.

The issues you are having with your keyboard are clearly much worse than what I ever experienced, therefore I'd strongly recommend you to return the keyboard and request warranty or a refund. I'm farly confident that at this point the problem you are experiencing is due a faulty switch and have nothing to do with the keyboard's firmware. It's practically impossible to use a keyboard chattering this much, I bid you good luck my friend.

The keyboard was purchased from a small co. In Asia, and the shipping fees are about 100 USD to send it back and it was purchased over a month ago. The manufacturer sent me some switches so I can swap it, but the last keyboard I switched several times with no result.  The is a thread or posting somewhere by ripster explaining how to fix this, but I could never find it. Has anyone seen it?  I suppose e I could put in a cherry brown switch and see what happens. But I do 've r y much like these gaterons.
