Just bought my first mechanical keyboard, and I’m not sure if it has key chatter or some other problem?
Hi, everyone! Recently, a few days ago, I bought my first mechanical keyboard (the Epomaker Galaxy 100), and while I'm pleased with the way it looks, sounds, and feels, I've noticed that sometimes, during regular use while I'm typing, some of the keys pressed will register twice (i.e., it prints out two letters instead of one). From what little Googling I did, the issue seems to point to something known as "key chatter", but I have no idea if this really is the case or not.
