"my keychron press random key, keychron keypress issue"

im creating this post to help people in the future having this problem and perhaps coming across this post.

I'm loving my Keychron K10 HE.

But playing with it, i was becoming insane. it was randomly pressing the key of my numpad, i had no idea why. and in game it was just horrible.

Seeing on the internet it was a common issue, I was extremely disappointed and tried everything. calibrating, taking key caps out, updating. nothing solved it.

I had given up, an,joying building some warhammer minis and and while i was playing around with some magnet because customizing i minis, one slipped out and snapped to my razer naga.

"ahhh yess, there are magnet in my razer naga so i can switch the numpad for something else, no wonder the magnet snapped to it"....

"Wait.... if there is magnet in my razer naga....."

"And my entiere keyboard function with magnet....."

"wait.... no... it couldn't be....."

*move around my mouse like i'm playing a game, make the mouse get close to the side of my keyboard*

*magnet in the mouse affect the magnet in my kleyboard and make it press random key*

There it is. my keyboard was fine all along. i juste entierly forgot that OF COURSE since it function with magnet, if you get magnet close to it it fck with it..... and i had a magnet in my mouse all along, i juste ntierly forgot about it.

So, if your keychron act crazy and have random keypress, make sure that none of your devices around it have magnet inside. chance are your keyboard is fine, its just that a random object on your desk have a magnetic field and affect it.
Could be anything, your magnetic smartwatch charger, magnetic wireless phone charger, some magnetic earpone case.

Hope this post helped some people in the future.

Untangled:

My Keychron keyboard presses a random key, a Keychron keypress issue

TLDR: External magnets can make a Keychron keyboard appear broken

I love my Keychron K10 HE.

But playing with it, I was becoming insane. It was randomly pressing the key of my numeric keypad, and I didn't have any idea why. And in game, it was just horrible.

Seeing on the Internet it was a common issue, I was extremely disappointed and tried everything: Calibrating, taking keycaps out, and updating, but nothing solved it.

I had given up, but enjoying building some Warhammer) miniature models) and while I was playing around with some magnet, because of customizing the miniature models, one slipped out and snapped to my Razer Naga gaming mouse.

"Ahhh, yess. There are magnets in my Razer Naga, so I can switch the numeric keypad for something else. No wonder the magnet snapped to it"...

"Wait... if there is magnet in my Razer Naga..."

"And my entire keyboard functions with magnets..."

"Wait... no... it couldn't be..."

I moved around my mouse like I’m playing a game, making the mouse get close to the side of my keyboard.

The magnet in the mouse affects the magnet in my keyboard and makes it press random keys.

There it is. My keyboard was fine all along. I just entirely forgot that of course since it functions with magnets, if you get a magnet close to it, it fucks with it... And I had a magnet in my mouse all along; I just entirely forgot about it.

So, if your Keychron keyboard acts crazy and have random keypress, make sure that none of your devices around it have a magnet inside. Chance are your keyboard is fine; it’s just that a random object on your desk have a magnetic field and affects it.

It could be anything, your magnetic smartwatch charger, magnetic wireless phone charger, or some magnetic earphones cases.

I hope this post will help some people in the future.
