Same problem here. This key repeating happens also on my TUF FX506LU Laptop keyboard approximately for 3 weeks. I can not play any game. The player continues to move even if I stop pressing the keyboard. Repeat problem happens at every key. I have dualboot in my laptop and this problem happens both on Windows11 and Fedora. I think this started to happen after upgrading Armoury Create. Also I noticed that if I change keyboard lighting from static to color cycle this repeating behaviour decreasing.

in the interests of keeping this in the open I've been DM'd by @Aureliannn_ROG asking for further details as asus continue to skirt the problem and do nothing about it. of course your engineeering team is working on the issue, that's wwhy you provided so many details about their progress...

typed this up on the azoth as it's an unsellable mess - as you can see it's still totally bbroken,, repeating like crazy, thanks for destroying my device and doing below the bare minimum to resolve it. 

you've had months to fix it and what have you come up with so faar? send us some logs and the firmware version,, lol you lot are aa joke

gamers nexus was bang on the money... I've learned my lesson buy anything asus in the future and if you'ree reading this i hope it steeers you away ffrom this abysmal company

Hi, according to your post

https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/gaming-peripherals/latest-azoth-firmware-causes-key-repeating-on-any-c...

Our engineering team is currently working on your issue.

To help us locate the problem more quickly, we need you to provide the following information:

  1. Armoury Crate logs: The log files record detailed information about the software's operation, which can help our engineers identify the root cause of the problem. 
  2. Product serial number
  3. Screenshot of the Armoury Crate update center: Please take a screenshot of the Armoury Crate update center page, especially the keyboard firmware update information, as this will help us confirm if your device has the latest firmware installed.

Providing the above information will help our engineering team identify your issue more quickly. Thank you.



1. armoury crate is a junk bloated mess and you expect me to sift through it's entire file structure to find where it is logging to. how does it not enter your mind to tell me where these log files are located. I've spent time reinstalling this malware mess aagain to have zero clue where the log files are located. what kind of support is this? truly is 100% to the point GN made about AASUS you have zero clue what you are doing. you can shove this point I'm not going back over this, the problem is obvious and in your firmware and is easily rectifiable by allowing me to revert to the previous version, stop sidestepping the solution by droning on about log files and bs and revert the firmware to let me (and the others in this thread) update to a version that worked

there's nothing more I'm offering to assist in this problem, you can't even think one step ahead to let me know where the log files are, I'm uninstalling this crap for the last time, sorry if you've got this keyboard I'm not assisting further, asus are useless 

 

the fix is easy

-revert the firmwarae to the previous verison

-enablle it in armoury craate to update the device

How does one revert firmware? This is my second azoth after having my first RMA'd for the same repeating key issue. I stupidly decided to update my second keyboard and now I'm back to this repeating mess...

You don’t. They’ve released a firmware that’ll essentially brick your keyboard and they won’t / can’t fix it. They also won’t stop you updating to said broken firmware, so now you’re in this position. 

I fixed by buying a different keyboard. Asus couldn’t care less. Let Steve at gamers nexus know if you want. Maybe he can pick this up and dig into them a bit as they’re not going to listen to us or do anything about it.

btw: I got a keychron Q1 HE in the end, cheaper than the latest offering from asus, worlds apart in quality, heavy, solid, hall effect switches, software is lightweight works in the browser and fast to update and...

...firmware is solid and not broken!

amazing right?

I'll reiterate asus...

I was having a similar problem with my "o" key.  I fixed it by pulling the switch for that key and replacing it with one of the spares provided in the original box.  

It could be that I'm experiencing a different issue, I'm not sure.  Ironically, this would be my favorite keyboard if it were not for the key repeating issue.  I thought I would like the more mainstream keyboards like a Rainy 75 but I keep coming back to this one.  Something about these switches is just right for me, from the activation force to the muted sound.  It's exactly right.  Well, except for the repeating issue.

I'll reply since asus don't seem to bother. Your issue here is different, it's down to the stock switches on the Azoth. Ironically I had the same issue early on when I first got the keyboard. It started with one switch which I replaced out with one of the spares, then spread to another switch which I also replaced with another spare and kept spreading until I had used all my sprares and ended up just buying a full set of Gateron switches which permanently solved the problem. I ended up replacing all the switched by the time around 10 of the stock switches had started to repeat.

Unfortunately now every key has a moderate likelihood to repeat due to the most recent firmware release by asus. I'd suggest anyone experiencing the issue send an email to tips(at)gamersnexus.net - maybe in time Steve can pick up on the issue as asus show no interest in looking after their customers. I'd also recommend you enact any warranty priviliages you still retain or purchase a keyboard from a more reputable make.

TLDR: the basic switches in the Azoth are junk and gradually fail overtime.
