i am having the same issue with my mx red poker. not only for one key but for any of the wasd keys. very annoying when playing quake... i was suspecting the controller as the cause. if it's the switches, would it be easy to switch them with say the 7, 8, 9, 0 key-switches?

ajx · 25 Mar 2012, 13:23

well, this is freaking annoying. sometimes it could fuck up all i wrote
may the lightness of red switch get trouble?

this issue seems to be fixed for me by switching from ps/2 to usb. i just played a ctf match with no single 'sticky key'. but i need a few more games to be sure...hfgl

2nd game without problems. are ps/2 issues a known poker thing? i'm sure it's not my ps/2 port or computer because i used a different ps/2 keyboard on that port with no issues before. will play more...

No but you can swap top case and spring with another switch to try.
there must be some mechanical problem in the switch.

If it happens when a combination of keys is pressed, it's likely the controller.

It's only when you can press a certain key a number of times and it just starts repeating that you might think about checking the switch. Otherwise you might destroy a perfectly fine switch for nothing.

if the controller causes this trouble, what can i do?
my keyboard comes from qpad, mk 85

client support ?

Go USB. None of those pesky make and break scancodes.

Anyway, you got more than 6 fingers on your nonmousing hand?

Oh wait, it's ONLY USB? Sounds like the NKRO implementation is causing problems.

I have the same issue with my Qpad mk-85 Red Cherry.
I contacted the seller company and got an replacement but the issue was on the new one also.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
When i press backspace it goes in a loop and stops when i press it again or press another button
also with other keys like F, I etc
EDIT: I have the usb version(i dont know if there is another version)

Sorry, I was thinking of the older one.

I suspect their trick of acting as multiple keyboards is messing something up.

Every time a keyboard manufacturer tries USB NKRO SOMETHING gets messed up. Except the Microsoft Sidewinder x4 .

Soarer · 13 May 2012, 17:46

Most of the NKRO USB implementations are fine on Windows.

ripster · 13 May 2012, 19:02

Except Qpad/qtronix/Xarmor/iOne it seems.

They suck in general though.

Soarer · 13 May 2012, 19:12

Reference or it's just FUD.

ripster · 13 May 2012, 21:07

FUD you.

links are on my PC

Soarer · 14 May 2012, 01:09

Links to more FUD don't count, BTW.

Sorry for digging up old threads but I don't seem to find any other threads about the same problem.

Also have a qpad mk-85 with the same annoying problem. None of my other keybaords have the same disfunction.

Get a new one on warranty if you can. Otherwise, it is likely to be cause by a faulty switch in case you could replace it with a new one.

I have the opposite problem. I only get stuck keys when using a USB keyboard. It never happens with a PS/2 keyboard, and it happens with multiple PS/2 keyboards. It only happens in games, particularly (but not exclusively) Minecraft, which is acknowledged to have a bug where it doesn't always "hear" about the release of a key. Yet it never bites me when using a PS/2 keyboard.
