Corsair Strafe RGB Playing Up

NoNameNoNumber · 27 Sep 2018 at 16:45

The 'U' key is acting as if it's sticking althouugh it isn't physically sticking... Resuulting in double Us popping up all over the place as I type buut it doesn't happen every time making it even more annoying.
Anyone had this before? Any fixes or do I need to look at RMAing it?

Anyone?

Can you pop the key cap off to look? Then try a pipet with some very fine oil on the mechanism...

Never heard of having to lube a keyboard tbh? I 'think' it's more of a software issuue.

Pulled a load of keys out... ice and clean under there bar a bit of dust. Cleaned it up a bit anyway and I'll see what happens.

Tried it on another PC? You'll likely no doubt have to go down the RMA route.

Good shout actually.
I'll probs pull all the keys and compressed air it all down, see if that does anything.

Let us know if a clean works.

How old is it, within warranty?

It's key chatter. The only fix is replacing the keys. If its out of warranty chuck it into the bin and get a decent one.
Corsair build quality is subpar.

Yeah, sorry. Warranty is two years on those which would have taken you to October 2017.

Trust me if it's doing your nut in and you fancy something new. I'll see what I can do for you

I'm back at work tomorrow so will take it with me and blow it down.
Whats a modern equivalent these days? Not been keeping with it lately
