For some reason, the t and the y started requiring more pressure to get them to type the letter. I keep having to go back and type in the T's and Y's. They work, the just require more pressure that normally used when typing.
It's a design fault - I opened it up to have a look and the bottom plastic plate cracks after just a few week's use.
I suggest a) another non-Saitek keyboard or stiffening the bottom plate somehow.
You're not the only one to experience this problem... I too have the same problem and it's EXTREMELY annoying when typing, as I'm a fast typer as it is and I'm constantly having to go back to type in the missing letters!
I've tried popping out all the keys to wash them but to no avail. Unfortunately, it looks like a design fault or something if more than one person are experiencing it.
It's a real shame because it's an excellent keyboard!
My keyboard is approximately 6 to 8 weeks old!!
What kind of keyboard are you using?? is it from a laptop or pc? if it is an external keyboard, try to detatch the y and t keys from the keyboard using anything that is thin (eg. knife, pen, etc.). clean it... and put it back by just pushing it back..

All of the sudden, a set of keys in the upper left corner of my Saitek Eclipse 2 keyboard require more pressure to work. The keyboard is clean, non-damaged and this problem just started to occur. The number of keys seems to be slowly increasing. I have found many complaints on other sites of the same problem. The keys I am currently having problems with are the 1,2,3,q,w,e,a,s and d keys. The problem is intermittant, sometimes they work just fine other times not so much. Also it seems that some keys like the e key enter double sometimes. I am about to take it apart and see if there is anything I can do to fix it.
I am having the same issue with the R key [which i have to ram to get it to work] and also same happens with E and T, in a lesser magnitude.
