Razer GreenSwich issue in BlackWidow keyboard

Recently, I got a used Razer BLACKWIDOW Ultimate 2014 mechanical keyboard with the fancy Razer greenswitches inside. The keyboard looks awesome and I really like the illuminated keys too. I'm not a person who likes the lound, clicking sounds that this switches are make when you press them down but I decided to give it a try. Sadly, the smile in my face went away as soon as I plugged the keyboard in and started typing on it. Every second or third character was doubled or missed on the screen of my computer. Something was wrong for sure with the keys, this issue is called scattering by the way. Actually I know that before I bought the keyboard and this is why I was bought it.

The problem is when the soldering station is turned on, you don't get enough visual notification about it. The display are saying "hibernation" of course, but if you tired or you are in hurry, you probably miss it, and you will forget to turn it off....
