I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.
Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn't work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.
Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.
Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It's a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.
I've owned many boards and have never heard of such issues. That sounds like a really cheap one, or inexperienced company.
I've never had issues with many switches between Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, etc
A lot of the better brands include LEDs too. It's just another checkbox on the product comparison sheet. Not like you can't shut em off anyway
Keychron Q1 Max. Google it, double press and keyboard chatter is a recurring problem.
They even released a new firmware recently specifically to tackle the problem, and still it persists
