Keyboard Geeks pls, my 6GV2 is misbehaving ((

Right, pretty much since the beginning (can’t really remember if it’s always been that way, but for some time now) when I got it, which was 4 months ago, my Steelserie 6gv2 has been acting rather damn weird.
Here’s the issue:
The (USB) keyboard works totally fine , however after a seemingly random interval, the ALT key (sometimes I felt it was ctrl instead) appears to the system as if it was pressed constantly. This is fixed by tapping ALT/ctrl at least once, sometimes several times, afterwards it goes back to being normal again for some more time.

What do. Where go.

Buy cheap 5$ keyboard since you don’t really need an expensive one.

SDCK!

Don’t really undertsand the people’s need of buying a $40 keyboard when a $10 one does pretty much the same except it looks a bit worse.

Buy a £120 keyboard instead, they are the best.

@OP
1. why aren’t you using PS/2 ? n-Key rollover doesn’t work with USB.
2. Maybe the switch in the alt key is broken/faulty? Did you pour sugary liquid over it?

@Ghostface, etc.
reason why -I- bought a more expensive keyboard is because with really cheap ones, The key-presses wouldn’t register, hence i went overkill and made sure it has n-key rollover.

Wait… do you have StickyKeys enabled in Windows?

sticky keys are off, checked that :))
nah, KB is clean (related: http://xkcd.com/237/ )
simply not using it cause my current board (blame me for choosing poorly) has no PS/2 connections :(

probably just going for a replacement then, seeing that this issue is somewhat uncommon.

Dunno about cheap keyboards in other countries, but around here each and every single “cheap” peripheral works perfectly for a long time even with poor maintenance. In all the years I’ve been using no-name brand keyboards, I’ve never had a keystroke not register.

I’ve had it with quite a few keyboards, that when I press multiple keys at once, that some don’t register, could be my bindings though, as I play with arrow keys.
