Since last week, I can’t write properly on the keyboard (UHK 80) as an extra space is inserted at random occurrence. (See this message as example). If I use my macbook keyboard or any other external keyboard, this issue does not appear.
I upgraded to latest firmware, I did a complete reset, restarted my operating system multiple times and nothing helped.
I don’t have any special macros, or advance typing behavior configured. The only thing that I changed in the last week, was upgrading mac to the latest version: Tahoe 26.3.
Does anyone have an idea what is the reason and how one can fix it?
The first thing to try is to reseat the switch: pull it out, bend its pins a bit (so that they end up tensioned against the side of the hotswap socket) and put it back.
Thanks. I will try during the weekend. For now, I use another key for space, and it works, so I think something might have happened with one of the keys.
I had a similar-sounding issue with my N key. I swapped switches, which would sometimes fix the problem temporarily, but it was only getting worse over time. Eventually it went from the occasional issue to quite annoying (70% of the time the key wouldn’t work, and the rest of the time I’d usually get multiple presses), and I took the back off the keyboard to have a look. Turns out that one side of the switch had broken free from the pad (it looked a little light on solder). A quick touch-up with a soldering iron completely fixed the issue!
