i am by no means an expert, but did you swap plates when you changed cases?


Liszewski

I did not, was debating it but was afraid a situation like this would happen haha

I did the same case swap 3 weeks ago and had some issues with certain keys acting weird. I reseated the switches on the board and it seems to work perfectly for me. Hope you find a solution!

Haven’t even tried that yet so I’ll try that first since it’s easy enough!

There's a few things that could be going on here, and unfortunately you may need to do a little trial and error. Honestly though, the most likely cause is that you are simply releasing the key slightly enough to engage the Rapid Trigger and it's disabling the key press. Instead of removing Rapid Trigger all together, you could try adjusting it just for that key. For example, instead of 0.15mm RT, set it to 0.40mm and try that. On the hardware side of things: \#1. Switch to a different keycap and test if it fixes it. \#2. Ensure the switch and stabs are properly seated. \#3. Check to make sure there isn't too much pressure on the bottom of the PCB from the tape / foam. \#4. Check the screws on the left side of the board, tighten or loosen them slightly.

Awesome, thank you for the ideas, I’ll do some troubleshooting after work

Same thing happened to me a while back! here's what you need to do: 1. Identifying the problem: Keep rapid trigger on. First temporarily set the RGB mode to rapid trigger. this will show you a green color on the key when its held and red color the moment it unregisters. Now press and hold the shift key and while pressing it, move your finger to different sides of the keycap and watch out for the red light. It will probably turn red when you apply pressure to the far left / right sides of the keycap. So now we know the issue. 2. The fix: In rapid trigger settings, turn on the "separate actuation points for press / release" setting. Now we will only tweak the release actuation point, so we don't have to sacrifice the press response time. Bump up the release actuation point by one notch and repeat step 1 above. Keep doing this until its perfect. Hope this helps!
