Hello! I’ve had this keyboard for 2 years now, and some of the keys started to double-type, not typing (have to press the key twice fo it to type) or even triple-type, I wanted to know if this was a common problem for this keyboard or type of switches, and maybe know keyboards that tend to not have this kind of issue.
Thanks for reading and for any information in advance!

Hey rafitabarajas, Thanks for reaching out to us.
Unfortunately, this is an issue called key chatter and it can affect nearly all mechanical keyboards. It’s typically a sign that the switches themselves are wearing out. However, it can have other causes, including software or firmware issues.
That said, one of the most common causes is dust buildup. Sometimes, a blast of compressed air can fix the issue, especially if only one or two keys are affected. If that doesn’t fix the issue, we’d suggest reaching out to HyperX customer support directly. However, given the age of your keyboard, they may not be able to help, as the warranty may have expired.
It may not be particularly helpful for your current situation, but if you’re considering a new keyboard in the future and are concerned about this issue, you may want to consider a keyboard that uses optical switches instead of conventional mechanical switches, as optical switches aren’t susceptible to developing chatter.
I hope that helps. Best wishes.
