My keyboard is being dumb
« on: December 17, 2012, 09:18:43 AM »
Having an issue with my keybord.

A while back i spilled some nestea onto my keyboard, i managed to clean it up fairly quickly. Though, C and V became slightly sticky, no major problem, but they lost their clicklyness slightly (mech. keyboard) and just didnt feel right, they still worked though.

Some days later C and V were perfectly normal and remained so for quite some time. Now today they've returned to their state of being a bit sticky and not so clickly, and i have no idea what is causing it. I havnt spilled anything new, nor have I done anything out of the ordinary with it. Only thing i can think of would be the temperature which cuases whatever mass there is left in there to be sticky/solid/whatever

Any help appreciated thanks

You could try cleaning out every key that is sticky.
Stop assuming things.

Depending on the brand of the keyboard, you might be able to remove the actual keys. When I had my old keyboard, I had the same problem but instead of nestea I spilled some coke on it and it conformed with some crumbs also in the cracks and it got under the key and just crusted up. I just took off the key and went at it with a pen and it cleared it up. If you cant do that, you can buy like a aerosol can with a small tube in the front and its designed to get under the keys and used compressed air to clear it out. Thats better than the "stab with pen" idea, but its not as fun.
