Hi,

I have a ROG Strix Flare mechanical keyboard, and yesterday the Spacebar started having issues.

Basically, when I press Spacebar, it registers the key press, but also registers the Enter key from Numpad a moment later.

There is no dust whatsoever, keyboard is clean. Also, I tried it on several PCs and OSes, the fault seems to be with the keyboard.

Any clues as to what causes this and how can I fix it?

Thank you!

Hello Indru,

Do you have Armoury Crate installed and fully updated?

Try resetting your ROG Flare by pressing and holding the Fn + Esc keys for 10-15 seconds.

Let me know if this helped.

Thank you

Hi and thanks for the feedback!

Came here to mention FN + ESC solved my problem. I found the information here, before seeing your reply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5gGZ84MIKs

I do not have Armoury Crate, as I am on Linux. I have no idea how a hardware Macro could have been configured on my ROG Strix Flare without me being aware, maybe there's some key combination that triggers it.

Nevertheless, holding FN + ESC for 10 seconds while all the keys blinked red solved my problem once they turned green.

Hope this helps other people in my conundrum as well.

Thank you and have a nice day!
