Is this how Gateron Blues/Mechanical KB switches work in general?

I just bought my new mechanical keyboard (Magicforce Smart1 68 keys, white LED, with those three DIP switches) with Gateron Blue switches, and I quite like it. The only problem that I encounter when playing League is that when I long press the keys it registers it as multiple presses. For example: I press Tab for a long time for example to see the scores, but the menu flickers, not just stay there while I'm pressing the Tab key.

EDIT: It's even worse for CS:GO, where my character just walks and stop at a very fast manner, just like what happens if I mash the W key five times per second.

Often with non branded mechanical switches you can experience issue with their travel distance and therefore their actuation points. Is it possible to pass on a video of your issue with the keyboard and game-play in full view? Can you please state your full system's specs inclusive of your OS and connected peripherals? Does the issue take hold when outside of gaming for example when you're typing a message on your browser or a notepad document?

If the keyboard is yet under warranty I'd suggest you open a correspondence with them detailing your issue to them.

This is actually not a problem, that is the current setting of your magicforce keyboard you can change it by pressing "FN" and either "W" "E" or "R"

That being said, Pressing FN+R will make your keyboard register keys faster while pressing FN+W will make it slower which is the default setting and the reason why your registers it as multiple presses due slow registry of keys.
