Elooder Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 An update for my repeating keystrokes issue as mentioned above: I have plugged the keyboard into the PC directly (it was plugged in through a powered USB hub before) and so far it looks like that may have fixed the problem. It's a bit early to tell (since the repeating keystrokes didn't start happening straight away when I bought it), but it may just have fixed the issue. For any of you having the same problem, please try and connect it to your PC directly, preferably to the keyboard USB connector (the closest one to the round PS/2 connector found on many motherboards or the one furthest up from the floor, usually USB 2 connector or if for you it's a USB 3, the nearest to it USB 2 one) and see if that helps you. I will update if the repeated keystrokes start happening again and will contact support as recommended by Josh if that happens. Funny I realized that the hub may be a problem when I was writing about the issue to customer support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elooder Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Nope. It's still "stuttering" (repeating keys). Didn't at first, then started again, but less than when it was plugged into the USB hub. Looks like I'll have to email support after all...

Elooder Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I sent an email to the address you specified earlier (cs3@thermaltake.com.tw) on saturday, describing the problem. Waiting for a reply or something to happen As for the problem, it seems to be caused by the switches activating too easily, Sometimes even the key bouncing up after a rapid press can trigger the switch and hence cause the double-type. To be honest, I can't remember it ever doing an actual triple keypress... Probably bad switches. Is there a Thermaltake representative office in Russia anyway?

Hey Elooder, I've checked with the Customer Support. The issue has already been escalated to our Russia office and there will be someone to address you as soon as possible!

Elooder Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Josh, thank you for all you're doing. You're doing a great job! I got the reply from Thermaltake about it being passed on to the Russian office. Now waiting for them to contact me. I have a feeling it's a defect in some of the switches where the contact plate is too close to the surface it touches when the key is pressed (thi is visible on a schematic of a Cherry-type switch) so the upward key travel activates the contact as well as the downward key travel. Also it could be that the plastic bit on the X piece that is colored in the switch was not molded entirely cleanly and can have extra bits where it shouldn't that are thin and flexible (like you get in plastic model kits or on plastic soldiers - very thin pieces of plastic where the plastic has seeped between the moulds). And since it's thin it bends and so doesn't activate the switch every time but only occasionally. May give some food for thought to whoever is responsible for actually fixing this kind of problem, be it the manufacturer of the switches or thermaltake. It's most likely due to the switches being made in China where QA control is a bit lax, as we all know, and thermaltake can't ever hope to check every single switch that goes through them.

JohnPhobia Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I got the replacement keyboard yesterday. There are far less consistencies on Day 1 with this keyboard than with the previous one. The only notable irregularity is the enter key feels like a Cherry MX Brown key with a really small bump. I really like this since my pinkie is not used to a heavier switch on a bigger key. Hope that only the enter key is affected. The arrow keys has the same problem with less severity, but I don't mind since I don't type with arrow keys but instead use them to rapidly scroll web pages down. Glad the problem actually benefited me. I'll update in two weeks how the keyboard has fare. -For those who's media keys are not working, make sure the Human-Interface Drive service is enabled in the services.msc because this keyboard uses the generic Windows driver as oppose to having its own.

Phobia Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 If I remove the top case of the keyboard to paint it, will that void my warranty even if it's harmless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgraham Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I have a Poseidon Z Blue Switch Edition and the "r" key repeats frequently, but sadly, I no longer have my receipt. Is there anything I can do to remedy this issue? Maybe I can order and replace the switch on my own? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

jacquesfrost Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hey there Tt dudes! Bought my Poseidon Z just a few weeks back and I'm really enjoying the feel! So far, all my keys are doing fine, no repeating or anything, all LEDs are working. It's great that the brightness is adjustable, just wished that it would stay at that level even after turning the computer off. The whole thing feels solid, I mean rock solid! The only thing I'm not particularly happy about is how the whole keyboard feels cramped. I noticed that the keys themselves are a bit smaller that your usual keyboard and the spacing seems tighter, which makes me sometimes touch other keys that I don't intend to touch... But I guess it'll take some time for me to really adjust to it. It's really cool that Tt have made a 5yr warranty, but does it apply to all countries? Bought mine here in the Philippines and the shop were I got it from only said that it had a 1yr warranty from the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
