Hi guys, i just bumped myself into this subforum when I was looking around trying to figure out what is happening to my Redragon K551 (7 years of age I think?)
It's been giving me some weird issues as it would double-tap (for most keys), or even don't register at all (for certain keys).
Then I learnt that the term for double-tap is actually called "Chatter" (WOW!!!)
And then I learned how to clean the keyboard with the "blown" method and dismantle the whole keyboard and did a deep clean (except de-soldering and dismantling each switch)
Then I found there's this "Keyboard Chattering Fix" software which would help with chattering, well it actually helped a little, too.
All the above helped, but the chatter eventually came back and would occasionally get worst sometimes... like the KB is having a mind of its own LOL!

Honestly, would there be any way to fix the issue? or would it be because of the board and chip are having issue already? I've even tried using it on different laptop/desktop and even Mac to make sure that it's not a driver's issue...


***ON ANOTHER NOTE****
It's really hard to find Tecware Phantom Elite TKL now... like "Chips More"
Maybe I should start exploring other options? I was allowing myself to spend up to RM200, but due to the limited choices and stocks, I kept raising up to RM500 (or less, preferably)... which then brought me another issue... too many choices! *Faint*

it's very likely mcu related, based on what you described. maybe it's time to just harvest the switches from this board, tune and reuse them.

you can check with quovadis123 if you're looking for a tecware phantom elite, full-size.

Hey thanks for the reply.
Just wondering if I can just replace the MCU? I actually have 2 of the same model keyboard facing the same issue. One is worst, one is still not that "chatty"
By the way, "Tune and reuse" means got to dismantle all the individual switches and check 1 by 1?

I'm looking for TKL wanna try TKL

Anyone here bought wireless keyboard from oversea or amazon before?

Can help to share your experience?

Plan to get a Keychron K6 but worry that it will get held in custom or need sirim and all those hassle.

Thanks.

I've not bought any keyboard from overseas before, but I've bought other things (like supplements and phone parts), so far it seems like custom would not bother if the value is less than RM500. SIRIM and MCMC wise, they would probably pay more attention to Telco related (GSM/3G/4G/5G) components. I heard WiFi/Bluetooh would depend on "luck".
