Bumping problem on a Cherry MX Black switch (SS 6GV2)

Yeah well, I made a little video for you guys to demonstrate the issue.

Basically it's the only switch that I have on this keyboard that behaves this way (it bumps before it registers). Pretty damn annoying.

I'm guessing the switch is broken? Anyone know a possible solution for this?
P.S. I warn you: beware a sexy finger, awesome video quality and great sound.

Never seen a defect like that. But yeah, that switch is busted. If you still got guarantee, get the board replaced. If not, time to open it up and desolder that switch.

I had the exact same problem with a switch on my Steelseries 6GV2.
I was too lazy to RMA it, so I replaced it. Let me know how it goes.

I actually got myself to send it back in and they could verify the defect switch and they sent me a new one. So that's cool.

Well, that's good to know.
