I've got 2 separate kb with different issues.
First one, which I am actually using right now with seemingly no problems is a razer blackwidow rz03-0039 . (The oldschool one I think.) With cherry mx blues
The main issue it has is that the cord is weakened and shorting. Like kinda how a headphone on your earbuds will cut out and be finicky if you jiggle it about and it'll work in just the right position. This is obviously a problem if you are gaming and the board moves or the table bumps or whatever. I was thinking of getting it to a stable position inside the bezel and gluing it past the part that normally sticks out, because that seems to be where it got smashed or whatever.
Is there a way to fix this? Can I buy a new cable for it or something?
PS- When I unplugged the little 4 wire (black,green,yellow,red) molex (white) I pulled the black side (grounding?) wire out of the solder it was in an inch away. However, its still working. Is that very important? I can solder it back, but its sort of a hassle and I dont wanna risk doing more damage if I can avoid it.
As an aside, sometimes the keyboard seems to double tap a key, namely the E keey. <just did it right there. Any idea about that? Might be just pekbac error.
========================
2nd kb, is a Corsair Vengeance k70. with cherry mx reds. I didnt take this one apart yet to take a look inside. I suspect something is jammed or causing a connection somewhere inside near the top keys. The issue is that it will be working normally sometimes for days, sometimes seconds. And then it will just start spamming some keys on its own, specifically some of the Fkeys, as windows will start lagging like crazy when its trying to open help and some other worthless menus.

Also I should mention that the keyboards have been tried on multiple computers and have the same problems. Right now its win10
