PATS key problems ?

I bought a couple aftermarket keys on e-bay and one did not work. I bought two FORD OEM keys and one works fine, the other will only work when put in the ignition with the CHIP at the top. Turn the key upside down, and key turns, but you get the flashing "theft" light. Turn it over with CHIP on top and it works again ?? Ever heard of this ? Both original keys work 100%.
