Title: Keyboard Problems
Post by Steven W on Jan 14th, 2013 at 7:35pm
So I recently bought a Logitech G110 gaming keyboard, and I am really happy with it except for one problem-the backspace key always seems to stick down whenever I press it, which sometimes doesn't do anything, but sometimes it tends to delete whole sections of text. Even as I'm typing this its deleted a couple sentences. If anyone has any solutions on how I can get this fixed, please let me know before I decide to do something drastic and possibly destructive to it  :o

thanks

As i understand it, its new.
Deliver it back from where you bought it, and get a new one.

I gave up buying expensive, fancy QWERTY keyboards long ago...

The internal electronics, etc, always gave up the ghost very quickly.
...and wireless ones...the batteries always ran out while the shops were shut!

Now I buy cheap, wired, £6:00 keyboards now, and throw them away when they give me problems, (or get dirty), and buy a new, cheap one for a couple of pounds!.... :-*...!

Paul...Throw-away mentality!... ;D...!

no I mean that the physical key itself is sticking down when I push it, I have to flick it a couple times to get it to pop up again

As bass says, if it's new, send it back.

If it's new-"ish" and out of warrantee you just may have to shake it upside down or remove the sticking key by gently prying it up from both sides. I don't know about your board, but on most keyboards it's easy to do. The only problem I ever ran into was with the space bar on an old keyboard.

After removing the stuck key wipe it down with a little alcohol but be careful how much alcohol you use to wipe around the hole/post that the hey sits in. And then ONLY if the keyboard is unplugged.

One of the best lubricants that I’ve found for most plastics is white lithium grease. If the key still sticks remove it and apply a small amount to the areas that may rub together. And don’t worry, lithium grease is non-conducting, and non-hardening.
