I was talking about this with my friend today and he told me he once tried to charge his phone when he was here and it got really unusually hot. Which reminded us when he brought his laptop here and it got also unusually hot while idling and doing nothing as shown in task manager. (it was connected ...

I still think your issue probably lies in the electrical systems themselves. Either the lines in your apartment are bad (in which case a UPS or external line regulator is the solution) or it's your PSU that is bad. I'm going to guess it's probably the latter since the laptop is working fine. If it ...

Question; is static electricity build-up a potential contributing factor? Perhaps the family Persian cat is rubbing up against his leg? Is it worth considering something like an ESD wrist (or ankle) strap so that he could ground himself?
Umm no. I don't think so.
Firstly and sadly we don't have ...

Minor update:
I'm currently using my Cooler Master keyboard on my dad's laptop after I left my keyboard packed and unused for about 5 days.
I didn't really notice any chatter while typing normally this time. But initially it was doing lotsa chatters under 10ms if I tapped a key 10-20 times quickly ...

Line filtering is pretty much what it says on the tin. It theoretically helps to remove RFI/EMI from the lines. It doesn't actually do much to "clean up" poor electrical though, which is what UPS units are for. I also can't say much about how clean the power is in Iran, but if your locale is prone ...

And finally, it's always possible that you got the luck (or unluck) of the draw and managed to find three bad keyboards in a row. :D
Oh man that would be such LUCK (or UNLUCK as you say). :?

But I kinda doubt it. For 2 reasons:
I haven't been able to find any chattering issue reports on any ...

Could it be a ground loop issue maybeee ?

Apparently not:
Anything USB powered isnt grounded, there is no ground wire in USB cables.


So apparently it might be ground loop:
That's incorrect for all pcs that use an ATX power supply and laptops that use a power brick with a grounded plug. In ...

As is the case with everything in life, you typically get what you pay for, but there are always exceptions. The HP+ series looks really good from what I can see, it's 100% JP caps and has a much better fan than the one you currently have. Just to be clear, I have no idea if replacing your PSU is ...

Oh now that I found a review on it, a little more to go on - yes it does have line filtering in the form of one X cap, two Y caps, and two coils, but the capacitor brands in this thing are mostly junk. I see CapXon, what appears to be G-Luxon, C.S Chhsi, and perhaps even Teapo (all terrible brands ...

I don't understand Arabic but I'm pretty well versed in PSU design. I can say that it looks rather anemic and honestly I wouldn't trust it in my own system (granted I don't know what kind of options you have in Iran).

3 Keyboards controllers dying due to possible electrical interference?

Hey guys I recently made this post pointing out my issue with my 2 Logitech G410 Keyboards.
They both started chattering in a time frame of 4-6 months and it was clearly a controller issue since it wasn't just 1 or 2 keys but multiple keys that did this. Also the more it was on the worse it'd get ...
