Drop CTRL V1 Mechanical Keyboard

Can anyone help me? I press the y key once and it intermittently registers twice or thrice. So instead of just "y", it becomes "yy" or "yyy".
I message Massdrop support and this is their reply:
"This is Rachel with Massdrop Community Support. Thank you for your patience and for contacting us to report that your keyboard is registering keystrokes more than once; I'm happy to help!
Unfortunately, we do not have the technical knowledge to provide you with the answer to your specific product question. We do our best to include very detailed product information on the drop pages, but if you cannot find the answer you are looking for, we suggest heading over to the drop discussion and asking the community! I've found that members are often very eager to share their product knowledge with others. You might be able to find some helpful troubleshooting tips there.
I hope this helps! Please write back into us if we can help with anything else. "
So I guess a Massdrop can't provide support on a Massdrop made product and is leaving troubleshooting to the community. Per their suggestion I am posting my problem here. I'm really pissed that Massdrop won't or can't help me on an issue on a product that they made. So hopefully someone here can help.

AvalonMabiI'm on my first replacement, and about to have it swapped again for the double tapping problem. Switched to a usb 2.0 port, we'll see if it helps anything.

PigmonkeYAt least they provided you with a replacement. My current CTRL is already a replacement due to broken LEDs on my first one. This likely is my last Massdrop made keyboard purchase.

AvalonMabiHah, my first one had LED issues, too.
So far, being plugged into usb 2.0 seems to help for some reason.

AvalonMabiOn your "Y" key try changing the switch of the key from the switch of a different key. If the problem is fixed then you need to replace the faulty switch (You can order some online on websites like https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/), if not you need to get a replacement keyboard. (What switch type did you get)

Ty535I have a Halo True switch. I will try that tomorrow. I wonder why Massdrop couldn't think of that and offer to send me a switch since it is just 4 months since I've received their keyboard.

ohnoitsandohI didn't really change the firmware but I just reflashed the default firmware and it did not change anything.

AvalonMabiI'm now waiting on my second replacement. Hopefully this one is better. maybe i'll just be changing the switches in the future. I can't imagine the halo true's have this high of a defect rate.

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?
