  1. Hi, I've had the KB-POI-BRPLUS-01 for about a year now and this is something that I've also been experiencing for a couple months. Let me just say there is nothing more infuriating than a long day of constant typos which you know are not your fault. Even more so when you do a lot of coding. I've read on other mechanical keyboard forums that you should actually not blow compressed air into the switches, as it can actually make the problem worse if dust or condensation somehow ends up being forced deeper down into the switches. The general recommendation is to turn the keyboard upside down and shake any crumbs, cat hair, etc. out. This weekend I took the time to take all the key caps off and do a very careful removal of all dust and hair without blowing. I also cleaned all of the key caps using warm water and a small amount of dish soap. This seems to have helped for about 24 hours, but now I'm being to seeing the "chattering" again. At the moment, I am using a software solution, via an accessibility feature called "bounce keys". What this essentially does is ignore any repeated key-presses within a certain number of milliseconds. Right now I have it set at 25ms, which is impossible for me to physically achieve even after an extra large cup of java, and it seems to filter all of the chatter out very well. However, this is not the ideal solution as there may be situations when I'm using this keyboard without the accessibility feature being on (I'm on Linux, so an example would be when I'm in a non-graphical terminal). So that's my story. I really loved this keyboard in the past year as it's my first mechanical keyboard, but this issue has made me wonder if I should have spent a little extra money on a different brand.
