Keys registered twice. about ergodox-firmware HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks :) . I'll go ahead and close the issue, since it's not a bug then. It's been mentioned once or twice, but stuff like that does tend to be hard to find. FYI, in my limited testing (I happen to have 3 functional boards at the moment) the appropriate debounce value seems to depend somewhat on the build -- or maybe on the switch, not sure.

This sometimes happens to very specific keys, actually I have problems with the "e" and the "j" keys so Im thinking about replace them someday, maybe. Yeah the debounce time fixes the issue, I think that 15 stills a good usability value

mmmh, what about to pass the key presses to a previous function that checks if the key is pressed twice in less than "X millisecons" and in such case only sends it one time? this could make to have the debounce time in low values and fixing the problem

hmm.. that might be a good idea. thanks :)

please implement it :) my ALPs keys acts very strange so sometimes i have these double (or triple) registerments randomly in different keys (actually in my space key, as you can see now, not anymore in E or J)

my assumption is that there's some microscopical dust that sometimes touches the connector parts and makes multiple contacts, this of course depends much on the type of key and which type of contact does (so there is, alps)

problem is that sometimes i need to put the debounce up to 20 and sometimes lower (back when they keys dont do it anymore) because it feels strange at typing with big debounces, having a timeout to allow the same key to be pressed twice could be a good thing to have :) 👍

i wonder if noraml keyboards doesn t do something similar...
