So, I bought an Asus TUF gaming K3 with red linear switches keyboard 5 days ago and I noticed since yesterday that my W key whenever pressed from a small angle it makes a weird clicky noise.. I need to mention that I play a lot of COD so I was pressing this specific key for hours. I don't know what it is but is it easily fixable? or should I use the warranty? Any help would be appreciated. I will share a video pressing the key so you can get the idea.

As for the keyswitch, you can't replace it since it's not hotswappable. I'd try and contact your seller as well as Asus and inform them in case this is a manufacturer defect/QC issue and if you qualify for an RMA.

You are the 3rd persone which i hear that Asus kb have defects, 2 friends of mine insisted to buy asus despite my advice for corsair, logitech or razer and they all had problems, one of the with space, one with Enter and now i see you with W. They all RMAed the keyboard and got a corsair.

that's crazy for real. Like i paid 85 bucks, it shouldn't have problems and from what you are telling me this happens generally, this is unacceptable.
