Hi,
My keyboard sometimes has an problem where a key doesnt register and sometimes I have to press the key multiple times for it to register. I also have a problem where the key will register twice after pressing it once. I cleaned my keycaps yesterday but the problem still happens
These problem happen to random keys. I own a tecware phantom 87

Thank you in advance.

I don't have another computer or keyboard to test it out but there has been times where little water drops have gotten into the keyboard
That might well be the cause of your trouble, depending on the source. Many mechanical keyboards have their key switches mounted directly onto their circuit board with little protection.

A bit of water from washing hands might be okay in short term, sweat from gym workouts much less so. Anything much more than those are definitely not.
Does this happen with all keyboards connected to your computer, and does this keyboard work okay on anything else?

Have you or anyone else ever spilled anything onto your keyboard?
