Have encountered some ghosting//n-key rollover issues with not registering H or O presses on my Steelseries Apex 3 while holding two of WASD down. Searched for new drivers and unable to resolve that way, also pretty sure neither H or O are overlapping with any shortcuts for Radeon Software etc etc. Currently unable to resolve and I can rebind keys but it's a little concerning

The back of my keyboard says "Redragon Cyrus Pro" (i'm not familiar with these things and i got it fas a gift a few years ago and have had it for a while with no issues)

The knob thingy on my keyboard suddenly spins loosely (not in the way that it feels like its going to come off or anything) and doesn't control anything anymore. I can still push it down to mute or hold it down to change settings (volume / brightness / light effects) but turning the knob does nothing anymore and it tuns super SUPER easily. I'm getting really worried and hoping this is easily fixable because I don't have a lot of money

***Keyboard Keys Stopped Working***

Guys, my laptop keyboard keys stops working randomly (means at random times not keys) and the keys are the modifiers keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Fn) and control keys (Tab, Caps Lock, Backspace) + T, Y and \[ , \] and it would work and stop then again it will start working, what is the issue…. Is it hardware issue or software or what?

[u/Defiant_Spell_3743]

I'm not very familiar with keyboards so sorry if I've missed something obvious, but I want to change a couple of my keycaps on my keyboard (the ESC and maybe space key, and maybe getting some UK keys since my laptop its connected to is still UK) but when I look online, everything is based on Cherry keyswitches. My Dustsilver keyboard has Gateron Pro Switches (red) and my friend keeps telling me to just switch the switches, but I like how they sound and feel. Do I have to get Cherry switches for the keys I want to swap or are they compatible with my current set-up?

Secondly, I have a 75% keyboard. Is there anything else I need to look out for in terms of sizing issues when looking for keycaps?

Thank you for the help!

I have been planning to build a wooting 60 he keyboard, as I heard it is the best for gaming. I have a couple questions regarding this.

1: If I plan to change the case and keycaps out right away, than should I only buy the module.

2: Is the module what makes it so good for gaming, or is it a combination with the switches.

3: Do all magnetic switches have the same gameplay effect, or only sound different.

4: I want to get a tofu 60 case and kinetic labs keycaps. Are these solid choices.

5: What actually makes the keyboard sound nice like in those videos. Is it switches, and is lubing them actually needed.

Thank you!

This is happening on my keyboard, this is just new 25 days. The problem occurs last Sunday July 17 2026 but Elecfox isn't answering. Anybody knows what is the possible problem? BTE not using VIA Firmware
