Chatter/double taps - Replace switches or throw the board away?

TDLR: Akko 5075b plagued with chatter/missed keys/double taps. Swapping PCB didn't help. Is replacing a switches the best bet, or could something be fundamental broken with the keyboard in general. Asking before I spend money.

I bought an Akko 5075b back in early 2025 with their V3 Pro Cream Yellow switches, and it didn't take long for the chatter to begin.

At first, I figured it was expected, affordable keyboard bought on Aliexpress. So I grabbed a spare switch from the handful they included, swapped it in and carried on.

It got to the point that I reached out to Akko after someone else on Reddit said they sent him a bag of replacement switches.

They did send another 10ish switches but they also sent me a replacement PCB which I swapped out, along with the new switches for especially chattery keys

Now despite cleaning the board a bunch of times, running out of spare switches, and using Keyboard Chatter Blocker to try and live with it... I've had enough. I swap one, another pops up.

So, would replacing the switches keep the chatter away, or could there be something fundamentally wrong the keyboard/PCB/wiring?
