Issues with mechanical keyboard keys not registering correctly.
Hello, 2-3 months ago i bought a budget mechanical keyboard, it has Jixian blue switches. Recently i realized the spacebar and esc keys werent registering properly when pressed. For instance if i press spacebar 5 times it would only register 2-3 times.
I saw a video where the guy takes the keycaps off of affected keys and blows the keys while pressing it. This actually worked temporarily and fixed the keys, however after 15 minutes of usage the keys start to not register properly again. Any ideas how can i fix this? I feel like if i take out the caps every 15 mins i'm going to break the keys eventually.
Do you have a link to the mechanical keyboard you bought? If the key switch is soldered onto the board, consider desoldering it. Use metal tweezers to bridge the contacts on the PCB so the system interprets the action as a switch press. Check if it registers in your OS. If it does, the problem lies with the key switch and should be replaced. If the issue remains after bridging the PCB contacts, the fault might be with the keyboard's PCB itself.
