I think you got a bad batch. What are the serial numbers for both QFR's?

No need to disclose the whole thing, just the part starting with SG and the subsequent 6 characters

SGK-4040-GKxxx is the current unit I have. Don't have that of the earlier unit that was exchanged.

You got the bad batch from 2014.

Make sure the next one you get has a US115 serial.

its commonly known as key bounce" or "key chatter"

QUOTE

-  What is key chattering/bouncing?
Key "chattering" or "contact bouncing" is a natural occurrence in mechanical switches that can cause one switch press to be detected as multiple presses. Under normal switch operation the digital electronics in a keyboard will filter out a small amount of natural chatter/bounce, however, in the case that an individual switch is damaged or defective, the amount of chatter/bounce can become too large to be filtered. The result is a repetition of key input seen on your computer screen for only one intended key press. This is a problem that affects only the broken switch and is a problem that is covered by your EliteKeyboards warranty.

How to test for chattering:

Severe chattering is actually very rare, but it can be very frustrating if you think the problem is you when it is actually the key switch.

If you're under a Windows operating system, we offer our own testing program Switch Hitter for extensive chatter testing. Testing under other operating systems can be achieved using the following procedure:

1. Start by opening up a text editor like Notepad in MS Windows.

2. Repeatedly press and depress the suspect key and alternate each keypress with a space. It is a good idea to vary the force with which you hit the key in question while performing this test; as chattering can sometimes show up more frequently with hard key presses, but not with light; and visa-verse.

A good switch will have output like this on your screen:

d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d

A chattering switch will output:

d d d d dd d d d dd d d d d ddd d d d d d dd ddd d d

3. Repeat step #2 for several lines and also test a few keys you do not suspect as a control case in order to eliminate your brain and fingers from the equation.

How to fix chattering:

Please, under no circumstances should compressed air be blown into a mechanical switch!! This bad advice is repeated across internet forums, and it is a recipe for disaster. Please do not do this!

If you find you are experiencing a problem with one or more switches, please contact support@elitekeyboards.com.

Fortunately the shop I bought from had existing stock so, RMA was one-to-one exchange previously. Will be going over this Friday (am on leave) to RMA this LED failure on the replacement unit.
