[Help] Single key inputting adjacent keys (Corsair K90)
  • I'll try the compressed air route, Looking into the gap between the face and the board I can see dust in there still so I'll try and remove that. Hopefully that gets results before I venture down the soldering route.

  • [Help] Single key inputting adjacent keys (Corsair K90)

    A few days back my keyboard went haywire with most key presses inputting garbage. This was after I spilled a glass of water on my desk. I didn't think any got on the keyboard, but the two issues happened too close together to not be connected.

    After a little while most of the keys returned to normal apart from a few, that have constantly been inputting bad characters. The B and V key inputs BV, the N and M key inputs NM, and so on for the rest of the right adjacent keys. Then the NumPad - and * enter *-.

    I've opened up the keyboard and cleaned it of the usual dust using cotton swabs, tooth brush and 99% ISO alcohol, to no effect.

    I can't get into the front side of the keyboard so can't be 100% that I've removed anything caught in there.

    I'm wondering what next steps I might be able to take on this. I'm guessing there's some bridge between the affected keys causing this, though I don't really know as I've no experience in this.

    Any tips?
