TLDR:

I think the build in clock in my keyboard runs too fast. Can I fix it?

Long:

My first hand-me-down mechanical keyboard died on me few weeks before I started my programming course. Therefore I needed a new one. I am the kind of gal which bought a mechanical keyboard because it makes clicky sounds and it looks cute and obviously my code will be better if I code with a cutesy board (I will not take any criticism here, this is a fact). I am not yet at the level at which I would hand pick each key cap without letters therefore I opted for a pre build. I was a little limited in my choice cause I liked a German keyboard layout.

I am very happy with my RK S98. I set my clock twice already and I it runs constantly faster and will diver overtime from the real time. I didn’t find anyone having the same issue online. Is there a way to fix it? Am I the only one?

Bummer! I wonder if the clock just has a bad crystal. Maybe the solution is to instead use the gif mode to display something fun.
