Keyboard double key strike

So I've had a TT eSports POSEIDON with Cherry MX Brown switches for about a year and a half now. Randomly though the space bar and some other keys will register a double strike. This has actually caused me to crater in game as scout many times, due to losing my double jump ability at random times.

This was my first modern mechanical keyboard. I'm wondering if any other mechanical keyboard owners have experienced this issue? Or is something kind of unique to my keyboard? I think it kind of started happening about a year into owning it. It does it at random times. So far in typing this post I've gotten 2 double space bar strikes.

Luckily this keyboard is still under warranty so I'll probably RMA it, however after I read some reviews I just don't trust this keyboard to not have the same problem in a few months, so I'll probably pitch it.

Any other brown switch mechanical keyboard recommendations? I just want a small keyboard with back lighting.

I've managed to break the "A" key on mechs with both Cherry MX Browns and Gateron Reds (Cherry MX Red clones). I'm not sure how I did it. In both situations I took the keyboard apart and swapped the faulty "A" switch with the near-virgin rctrl switch, as I never use that key. I also swapped to RDFG movement in fps games too see if I'm breaking keys through gaming or normal typing.

TL;DR same issue here, trying to figure out a permanent solution.

A lot of the time you can fix switch chattering with some deoxit spray, I get that problem from time to time and squirting a little bit of that inside the switch clears it up. Just unplug it, depress the switch and put the straw inside and try not to get it everywhere. Deoxit is like $15 on amazon, but its pretty handy stuff imo.
