After the spill I disconnected the keyboard and let it dry with all the keycaps removed. Most of it seems to have recovered except for a few keys on the left side. (Q , L Shift , L Ctrl)
I’ve tried everything I can think of short of disassembling the thing to get the key action smooth again. Things I have tried ( a non exhaustive list)
- Just wait
- Take the keycaps off then
- clean the area in and around the switch
- blow air into the switch after depressing it
Sometimes these work, sometimes they don’t but after about 5 mins the key is sticking again. I know that the problem is with the switch since I can feel it stick without the cap as well.
Anyone have any suggestions before I start looking into switch replacements ?
Interesting, I’ll try that out. TY
