EZBOOK presses Escape button when moved

[shoeh0rn]

After using the showkey function on Linux I just figured out that whenever I tilt the laptop rightward, button “27 0033 0x1b” (i.e. escape) is being pressed.

Would there be any way to solve this without voiding the warranty (thus without opening the device)?

Manufacturing defect.  I exchange the unit with seller.

I had a similar issue where the escape key was like it’s pressed permanently. I ended removing the key from the keyboard, now I have an ugly gap, but all is working fine. Gearbest offered me a replacement or a refund of 30 USD. Was happy to take the refund, as everything else is just perfect on my model.

maybe your jumper wants to ESCape from your lap?

most keyboard single key troubles are related to something stuck in the key or a contact being blocked because of dirt or being shorted because of not enough gap between the contact layers.

2 things help in most ways, suck or blow forcefully below the key cap (compressed air and hold finger over key cap so it does not go bye bye). the second thing is hard repeatedly smash on the key cap to re-adjust /clean space between contact layers. Use shortest finger (less force).
