I bought a cheap (about 30usd) chinese mechanical TKL keyboard with outemu reds.
The problem is when I'm playing games (especially fps games) my keyboard have a tendency to register a key that I'm not pressing anymore. Two examples is when I press ADAD it will register as ADAAAD and sometimes when I'm typing, I pressed backspace but the text isn't deleted, like i didn't press backspace at all.

I tried to swap the switches on the WASD keys to gateron reds and the problem still exists. Is this a problem with the PCB? or is it my PC? or even the game itself?
I suspect that the PCB is the issue but I'm not sure.

I have 3 friends that have these similar cheap keyboards,
One of them has a similar TKL keyboard but with outemu browns and he does have this issue as well.
Another has a TKL with outemu blues that does not have this issue.
Another has a Fullsize with outemu blues that does not have the issue.

I'm new to the forums so I'm sorry if my English is bad and if i cannot explain my issue properly.

No its most likely the keyboard.

I once had a keyboard and right out of the box it was ghosting really bad, so much so that i couldn't even pass the log in screen to continue because it would just type random characters. I returned it the next day.
