The E key on my mechanical keyboard started typing ee roughly one press in ten. Annoying in every word that has an E, which is most of them.
Compressed air, and a firmware setting for debounce that the vendor's app does not actually expose on this model.
The switches are hot-swappable, which I had forgotten. Pulled the E switch, swapped it with the one under Scroll Lock, which I have never pressed in my life. Problem moved to Scroll Lock. Problem solved.
If the board weren't hot-swap, the next step would have been opening the switch and cleaning the contact leaf with isopropyl alcohol — doable, but fiddly with these clones.
Keep a couple of spare switches in a drawer. They cost almost nothing.
