Poseidon Z RGB - Chatter, double key strokes on Keyboards

Hey guys,

 

So I bought a Poseidon Z w/ Blue LED lighting a while back and tried it for a week. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, but however, due to numerous reports of double keystrokes and chatter from forums and reviews. I decided to return it for another brand instead.

 

This time around, I finally went for the RGB Poseidon....I been wanting for an RGB Keyboard since forever, and just like the Poseidon Z's predecessor, I HAD NO CHOICE, the RGB version swept me off the floor. I HAD TO HAVE IT. The colors were the best I have ever seen in an RGB keyboard, and the strokes sound consistent and good for the most part. I only worry about the chatter and double key strokes that many have reported in the past w/ the Poseidon Z. I understand this is a different keyboard, but its based on the same model. So I got to wonder if you guys made any change to improve the design and stability.

 

I understand you guys have an unbeatable 5 year warrenty, but I really do want a solid answer of whether the cases of chatter and double key strokes were just a fluke in the population or indeed a true common problem. I honestly believe most people when they have these problems are just due to being unlucky? Perhaps?

 

PS: If I end up RMA'ing this product. I understand I will have to pay for shipping it back to you. And that you will cover shipping costs for it coming it back to me. Correct? What if I need to RMA this product the 3rd, 4th, 5th time, will the shipping be on me as well? Please let me know.

 

I love your products! I hope this will last!

So I havent had any double clicking yet, so thats good. But I was just curious if there were any changes to address that. But after 4 days of the RGB keyboard, I got 1 light going on and off, inconsistently randomly. Notice the I.

Hi, can we know which country you're from? We'll get the customer support to assist you with the lighting. :)

Usa, California. Its still in my 14 day gaurentee period so I will go to the store first and do an exchange first. But also could you answer my original question which was: After the first initial RMA, I pay for the shipping. There after will you pay for the shipping if I need a 3rd, 4th, 5th RMA?

Hi, for that question, you will need to ask our customer support for the region:

Hello,

I'm currently using my replacement Poseidon Z kkeyboard and still having the chattering issue.

I have sent a message to support regarding this again and I am hoping that the shipping will be paid for atleast one way.

I'm also wondering how we can handle this so it does not happen again.

Do all of your keyboard models have this known issue of chattering or is it only the Poseidon Z?

Would you be able to send me a different model that is not known for this issue as a replacement?

I have the same problem. Double clicking or buttons do not work out. I'm from Russia. In Russia there is no technical support for your service. I bought a keyboard 1 year and 2 months ago. Poseidon Z Illuminated Keyboard.

Hi, please contact our Russian support at erma@thermaltakerussia.ru and we will have someone to assist you further :)
