Mechanical keyboards can start to slowly fail over time, but this free app makes the troubleshooting process much easier.
I’m a certified mechanical keyboard nerd at this point, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering most of the best gaming keyboards are mechanical options. Still, mechanical keyboards aren’t perfect. Because of their mechanical nature, there are multiple failure points on each switch, and over time, your keyboard will start to act up.

Privacy Policy Although the word “chatter” implies that this issue solely comes down to multiple inputs from a single keystroke, that isn’t the case. The problem comes down to either an issue in the switch or on the PCB of the keyboard itself. That means chatter can show up as missed inputs, as well.
You can solve a minor case of chatter relatively easily — replace the switch, or clean it, and you should be fine. In more extreme circumstances, you’re signing up for hours of trial and error to figure out which switches are causing issues and trying to fix them individually. There’s an easier, and much faster, way.
The big reason I like KeyboardChatterBlocker is the log, however. As you use the app, it will log every case where it blocks chatter. Over a few hours of using your PC, you’ll have a 1,000-foot view of which keys are acting up and how frequently they’re acting up. KeyboardChatterBlocker lets you sort the log by the percentage of chatter for each key so you can see the keys with the most issues up top.
