There are issues with keyboard double typing and unregistered keys. Need assistance resolving this problem.
Hello,
I recently purchased a Ducky SF one 2 keyboard and it functioned well for some time. However, the keys would double-click, making gaming and typing very difficult. I cleaned it with an air duster, thinking it would resolve the problem, but it didn’t. After reinstalling the drivers and other components, the issue persisted—keys would still double type or fail completely after a few uses. When I returned the keyboard via RMA, they claimed it was working fine on their side and suspected a software problem from my end. I’m unsure what to do now, as both keyboards seem to have failed despite being expensive. I tried using a cheap $10 Walmart keyboard, which worked, but my other two still have issues. I’m not sure if RAM could be the cause, since my system freezes and becomes unstable when it exceeds 2666 MHz, even though it claims support up to 3200 MHz. I’m feeling frustrated because I really love these keyboards. I plan to test them on my GFS computer to see if they still cause problems, but I need guidance on next steps—should I replace the RAM? Should I reinstall Windows 10? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Testing the keyboards on another functional computer, like your GFS, is a solid beginning.
Testing with other known working keyboards on your machine is equally important.
The goal is to see if the issues persist with your computer or are linked to the keyboards.
Based on what you shared, it seems the problem remains on your system.
Consider using the built-in Windows troubleshooters; they might resolve the issue.
Also check the Ease of Access, Gaming, and Personalization options in Windows.
Make sure all settings match your expectations.
Running "sfc /scannow" and "dism" could also help.

Fix Windows Update errors via DISM or System Update Readiness tool - Windows Server | Microsoft Docs
Another avenue is to examine Task Manager for any unexpected or unknown applications running in the background. These could be faulty or corrupted.
Finally, please note the age of your power supply: Is it old? Heavy usage for gaming, video editing, or crypto-mining?
Keep in mind that PSUs deliver different voltages (3, 5, and 12) to various components. It’s possible the PSU is approaching its End of Life and may not consistently meet the system’s power needs. RAM is often the first to be affected.
Since these are mechanical switches, it's likely there's something within the switch rather than something that can be fixed by cleaning out the keyboard. I don't believe either of these are hotswap keyboards, so you might need to whip out the soldering gun and replace a switch to continue using these keyboards.
Thanks for the update. I plan to test all these options and try the keyboard on my GFS PC soon, sharing results later. The Sfc scan detected corrupted files and fixed them, so I’ll move on to Dism next. My PSU is relatively new—about 5 to 6 months old—and I got it from Office Depot. I’m considering replacing the RAM to see if performance improves after all these changes.
Fair enough.
Examine the RAM needs and suggestions for the games you play and the applications you use.
Before purchasing additional RAM, consult the motherboard's User Guide and the manufacturer's site to verify supported and permitted configurations.
You should likely buy a compatible RAM package for dual-channel operation.
Review the QVL (Qualified Vendors List) carefully and note all restrictions and specifics.
Be cautious about where you buy the RAM.
When troubleshooting unusual behavior, use Task Manager and Resource Monitor—run both at once but only one at a time—to monitor system performance.
Start by checking without gaming or other tasks, then proceed to gaming.
Identify any changes or issues that appear when the system behaves unexpectedly.
I'm still experiencing the same problem and haven't yet identified its cause. I plan to perform a clean install of Windows 10, hoping it will resolve the issue. If that doesn't work, I might consider purchasing a different keyboard to see if it presents any problems, especially since my current one from Walmart doesn't seem to have issues.
