Hello everyone, I got my Model 01 back in 2017 and it worked well. However, now it seems I’m reaching its end-of-life. Like many 01s it would suffer from a occasional double-typing. Usually the common fix for that worked. However about two weeks ago I came to work to find nearly all keys either doub…

Replacing the switches by resoldering them should fix your problems. Matias switches are quite easy to get in bulk. $50 later and you’ll have enough switches for a lifetime. You could even get vintage Alps switches if you don’t like the Matias keyfeel. Alternatively, you could try to get a Model 10…

Thanks a lot, I will try replacing the switches. I don’t want to throw my keyboard away if I can help it. :slight_smile:

So I’m having most of the keys on the right half of my Model 01 misbehaving the way you describe: double-typing, or typing once on descent then back on ascent of the key… What drives me crazy is, it’s only on the right side keys. None of the left half. I don’t get it. I’ll order replacement Matias …

[image] Goeland86: it’s only on the right side keys. None of the left half. I guess you already tried another UTP cable. Is it traveling a lot, with disconnecting and reconnecting the UTP perhaps damaging the connector on the right half?

The keyboard didn’t travel at all in the last 3 years. I have not moved it from my desk other than during a move in April, and it worked fine for two months after that. I’ve got the Matias bag of 200 switches in the mail, so we’ll see how long they last after replacement. Thanks for the suggestion…

BTW, does anyone have an idea, where I can get spare Matias switches in Europe? The U.S. store is nice, but does not ship to Europe. All the European resellers I tried (or even the official store) seem to just sell keyboards, but not standalone switches… :confused:

Matias said they changed the manufacturing process after Keyboardio brought the metal fatigue issue to their attention, and I have not seen anyone complaining about replacement keyswitches also failing, so I suspect you’ll be able to bring your replacement rate to practically zero and still have mos…

Overall it gets better towards the end of the day, but it gets the same next day of after weekend. I’m curious what could cause this. Is your office cold when you arrive, and warm later in the day? There are three causes of key chatter that are especially common in the switches Matias provided e…

I got mine from Matias Quiet Click Key Switch Modules x 200 : KS101Q-200 : The Keyboard Company - Shipped to Switzerland in < a week.

Just got my 200 silent linears, also from the keyboard company. Swapped out the right half tonight. I have to admit, it was quite tedious, and took several hours. :slight_smile: Currently typing with tactiles on the left and lenears on the right :sweat_smile: Gonna get myself a new, better solder-…
