I bought a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid (red switches) about a year ago and in the past week a couple keys have become inconsistent, the d key does not work about 10% of the time and several other keys have the same problem. it's really annoying to play tf2 like this and I was wondering if there was a fix without buying a new keyboard.

also, a smaller proportion of the time, the key double presses when i only press it once, but this happens less often than it not happening at all

move to REFG or SZXC or SAXC if you fail to fix it and don't want to buy anything in the meantime

If cleaning doesn't help and you have a soldering iron you can replace the switches.
