I got my keyboard a day ago, and I have noticed (as many here have also claimed here) that there is a really annoying problem with some keys getting stuck. I have the Bamboo 70G, 87-Key board.
For me it is the Q, D and Left shift, this aggravated me to no end the first day trying to figure out what the issue was with the keyboard. Then there is the issue of keys just falling off, luckily I have only had to deal with the Delete key doing this, but I do have a set of Vortex keycaps coming in so I suppose I'll see how they fare. I also am unsure if this keyboard has NKRO, because sometimes it feels like it does and then there are times where it feels like it's got 4KRO.
Other than this, I really like the smoothness of the keys that do work properly. I really want to like this keyboard more, but those issues make it a less pleasing typing experience.

FZeroWingIf it's just individual keys sticking mechanically I would try pulling off the back of the board and then removing and re-seating the switch housing for Q, D and left Shift. Make sure the tabs are fully engaged through the PCB. If that doesn't work, there are a few extra sliders in a little plastic bag in the box for this reason!
There is a known issue of the NKRO implementation being limited to 5KRO per row. You may be hitting this issue.
