I have UHK v1 and recently multiple keys started double typing. For example, if I type something like work, I may get wwork, wowrk, I wanted to check if anyone else has seen this problem and if it is a firmware/hardware or switches problem.
Thank you.
Only specific keys doing that point to a key switch problem.
Did all the keys start chattering at the same time? Its strange if yes, and points away from a key switch problem.

It is only specific keys. I think I need to replace those switches as it looks to be the switches rather than firmware or the controller. I was wondering if https://www.amazon.se/-/en/gp/product/B0CBS5M29R/ are the type of switches I can use with the V1 of UHK or I need something specific from your website.
Thank you.
Those cherries will work, but you may want to get the same switches as those installed on your UHK - for consistent feeling.
If you have non-silent browns, then these should be the exact ones: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000138828295.html
(Note that to replace switches on UHK V1, you are going to need soldering iron.)
I had a UHK 1 that developed this problem after 1-2 years. It was not limited to certain switches, although it seemed to affect certain ones more often than others. I tried different cables, different environments (eg to rule out electrical interference) etc. Didn’t work. I concluded it was likely a hardware problem and bought a replacement v2.
I had the same issue occur about 2 years in to using the keyboard. I replaced a bunch of the keys and now have a mix of cherry and kaila brown keys. I don’t notice the difference. This is an issue that UHK should address. Fixable, yes. Durable…?
