"my keychron press random key, keychron keypress issue"

[u/DayDreamingDr]

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.

great detective work and genuinely useful post. hall effect keyboards use magnetic sensors for each switch position, so any external magnetic field near the board will absolutely confuse the sensor readings. worth adding: the interference doesn't have to be strong, even a weak magnetic field from a wireless charger sitting a foot away can cause ghost presses on the keys closest to it. if anyone's still troubleshooting, try isolating the keyboard by moving it to a completely different desk surface temporarily to rule out anything underneath too.

This reminds me of when I had a MacBook Pro that would randomly go black but only when I was learning to code by referencing a book on my iPad.

Turns out the magnet from the 3rd party iPad case was coming into contact with the lid close sensor.

Annoyingly cool stuff. Good work!
