![]() ![]() That means that all the copper tracks are on one side, and the other side is bare. They used a single-sided printed circuit board to save a few cents. Now, what is happening? Well, when Logitech designed this keyboard they cut some corners. If anything the dismantling and cleaning left it even worse (and that too is a clue to the problem). I tried the cleaning, new batteries, etc - even using expensive electronic contact cleaner and deoxidiser, to no avail. And that is important, as you will see later. ![]() ![]() The rest of the keyboard is completely fine, except those in that area - which is right slap bang in the middle of the whole keyboard. I noticed that the keys on my G613 that were failing with the infamous multi-type problem were all clustered together, and all to the right side of the main keyboard (around l, o, p, etc). So here's *my* solution (and the causes behind it all). I am an electronic engineer by trade, so diagnostics of this kind of thing is my bread and butter. The keyboard is still being sold on the website, so I'm very disappointed in it after several decades of using Logitech mice and keyboards. All keys were cleaned so it feels like it's just a design that is bound to fail. After a couple of days the start to fail again. I used the G keys to replace the mechanics (soldering) underneath the failing keys, hoping to prolong the life a bit, but to no avail. After placing back the key-cap it works for a couple of hours before starting to fail. Pushing the system underneath registers a normal single stroke. The problem seams to be mechanical, as the result is the same on different computers. It's just out of warranty, so Logitech won't help. They register multiple strokes when pressing down once. It started out with the space bar, then the M key, then the DEL key, then the Y. I'm a casual gamer with a home office, but I mostly worked at customers last couple of years. I have to constantly remove double spaces or retype letters that a double delete removed.įor it's price I really expected some more millage on it. Does anyone have this keyboard for a time longer than 2 years without it failing? I bought it because I liked the mechanical/wireless/fast aspects of it, but in the last 2 months it became totally unreliable. ![]()
