<p dir="auto"><center>Photo by SteelSeries <p dir="auto">I've recently bought a new mechanical keyboard that seems to have a problem. It double taps the t, m and a keys, and I've searched the internet on how to fix this problem and here are the fixes I've found: <ol> <li><p dir="auto">Clean the switches with Alcohol (be sure to disconnect the keyboard and wait for the alcohol to evaporate) this might be the best solution, I didn't do this as I do not have a keycap puller. <li><p dir="auto">Replace the faulty switches with new ones. <li><p dir="auto">Fix it from the software. As I am using linux here are the commands I've used in the terminal: <pre><code>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard bouncekeys-enable true gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard bouncekeys-delay 50 <p dir="auto">What this does is to enable bounce keys, that ignores repeated presses in an interval of 50ms. You could try lowering the delay to something lower if this annoys you. <p dir="auto">And here is a <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/using-the-shortcut-key-to-enable-filterkeys-d9202e14-4ce5-84ed-582b-68ea1538fa59" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">tutorial from Microsoft on how to enable it on Windows.
