I really like the design of the keyboard, but I have multiple keys that stay fully depressed.  They get so jammed you have to tap the key to get it up and hope it doesn't stay depressed and start spamming that letter.
 
Did I get a lemon or is this just a common flaw in this product?

    Mine does that sometimes as well...I'm considering purchasing a new motherboard (not eVGA branded) because of it...
     
    Not sure if it's something that's inherent in the series or not, tho....could be just switches from a certain time frame? Who knows.

    I had that problem with a few keys on my Z20.  What I did to resolve it was to remove the key cap with the tool that came with the keyboard.  Looking inside the key cap you'll notice a very small bump on one edge.  I used a razor blade knife and just shaved that bump off and the keys never stuck again.

    I do think that it would be good to pull the keycap and take a look to see if anything looks different in the keys that are sticking. You could compare it to a keycap that is not sticking like the WASD keys that come with the keyboard or to other keys that have not been sticking.

    This is the same solution that worked for me.  It appears to be just variances in the molding process leading to contact.  Nail file worked for me.

    Yeah, whatever works to remove that tiny "bump" on the edge of some key caps.  That resolves the sticking issue.
