Having Chattering/Double-input Issues? Try this:Submitted by Ram08 t3_ydagew in MechanicalKeyboards

My GMMK Pro was plagued by this issue for several months, even after the firmware that was supposed to fix chattering. I thought it might be the pin(s) not making proper contact with the hotswap socket edges so I slightly bent the pins of the switches that had chattering and surprise, it's gone! Been solid for months without a single problem. Apparently, a very straight pin is far away from both edges of the hotswap sockets which causes chattering.
Just a few days ago I suggested this to someone on Reddit with a different keyboard and it fixed his as well. Give it a try!
Oh and do not worry about damaging the pin. That upper pin is very flexible and durable.
EDIT: Few people reported double inputs got fixed. What's the reason for downvoting?? This sub I swear...

It's better to instead try to push the two metal contacts inside the hotswap sockets together.
There shouldn't be a gap between them when there is no switch inserted.
You can do that with a small screw driver or a needle pretty easy.
Bending the pins of the switch increases the risk of putting pressure down on the socket itself when inserting the switch.
This can rip off the sockets of the PCB and thus permanently damage it.

I didn't know you could push the metal contacts of the sockets. Thanks for the input!

I think I found your issue.
Spoiler: it's not the switches

Let me know how it goes! :-)

Firmware fixed the chattering but the PCB with poly plate does not hold onto the switches very tightly. I can give mine a slightest of nudges and my gateron black inks will fly out of socket.

Yeah that's a kind of a common issue with PC plates on hotswap PCBs. Not just on the GMMK boards.
My Keychron had the same issue.
PC is just too flexible to really get a solid grip on the switches.
And often times PC plates are slightly too thick which prevents the switches from getting fully locked into the plate with their clips.

Ah, that's unfortunate.
BTW, I'm using the stock aluminum plate.
