Issue where the keyboard is pressed once but entered twice

If “entering the keyboard twice” is repeated, it is better to narrow down the switch chattering and repeat speed settings rather than changing several settings at once. Compare with other ports and other PCs to distinguish between problems with the keyboard itself and problems with Windows input settings and drivers.

Difficulty Easy time 5-10 minutes cost 0 won
  1. 1Check if the same input is performed on the on-screen keyboard.
  2. 2If possible, connect a different keyboard.
  3. 3If the other keyboard is fine, suspect the existing keyboard hardware.

Check language/repeated input/filter key settings

Some keystroke errors may be due to accessibility, language, or repeat rate settings.

Difficulty Easy time 5-10 minutes cost 0 won
  1. 1Check Settings → Time & Language → Language & Region.

Outdated or corrupted keyboard/HID drivers may be causing the symptom.

Difficulty Moderate time 10~30 minutes cost 0 won
  1. 1Check the device in Device Manager.
  2. 2Check your PC or component manufacturer's site for keyboard/HID drivers for your current model.
  3. 3If the problem started immediately after an update, consider rolling back to the previous stable version.
  4. 4After installing the driver, restart your PC.
5

Check physical key status and contamination

If only a specific key fails or is pressed twice, there is a high possibility of a switch/membrane problem.

Difficulty Moderate time 10-20 minutes cost Possible occurrence during repair/replacement
  1. 1Turn off the power and check for foreign matter between the keys.
  2. 2If there is a history of liquid ingress, discontinue use and inspect.
