K90 Q key acting up


smushroom

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've had my K90 for about a year and 7months now. Lately, my Q key has been acting up. Every time I press Q, random letters show up. This is what shows up most of the time when I press Q: eiopqruw. I literally have to delete the other letters just to get it. It's happened twice so far. First time, it just went away. This time, it's not going anywhere and it's driving me to insanity :(

Looked it up and I cant find anything about it. Any ideas?

 

This is me just pressing q:

eiopqruw+789

+9eiopqruw78

+89eiopqruw7

eiopqruw+789

+eiopqruw789

eiopqruw+789

eiopqruw

Same thing happening here but with multiple keys.

 

Here is 7an "unedited" version of these 2 sentences:

 

Same thuingr 7huapäpäeningr huegre 7bhut 7w<ithu 7mhultipäle keys.

Here are all the faulty keys I could find:

 

INS (on 6-block): delete

SPACE: space and 7

CURSOR UP: cursor up and +

H: hu

G: gr

Ä: pä

U: hu

W: w<

NUM 7: 7 and SPACE

NUM 8: 8 and 0

NUM 9: 9 and ,

NUM 0: 8 and 0

NUM ,: , and 9

NUM +: + and cursor up

 

BTW:When I switch off NUM-LOCK, things get even stranger. "7" will still trigger "SPACE" and SPACE turns into "HOME".

 

This is unacceptable for a product in this price-range - and one that's barely 15 months old.

 

Already (re-)flashed the firmware and rebooted PC, used different USB-ports for the keyboard but all that did nothing.

 

Tried an ancient MS Internet keyboard and a pretty recent Sidewinder X4 - both of which worked fine. So I'm pretty sure it's the K90 that's at fault here and not my PC/Mobo/USB-ports.
