well, damn, i just disassembled and soaked the key switches in ethanol and wiped and brushed the circuitboards and my former primary mech keyboard has officially got a sore need to be fully cleaned... i guess some place i can get legit litres of reasonably clean ethanol to try again, but what broke it was hitting one key was triggering also a second key just above it
yeah, gonna have to get a decent amount of ethanol
red flag of it all was that there was already so much goop washed off everything that the key switches were stuck together, some of them, plastic to plastic, and the keys themselves, the little + shaped tops were gummed to the base
lucky i have a spare, takes about an hour to disassemble and reassemble this thing, and it was starting to get really annoying, i'm hoping that there is no other fault than simply being dirtied up from spilled drinks and way too many meals ate sat next to it
probably will end up having to buy a heap of new cherry/style switches
