Ages upon ages ago I spilled something on this keyboard. I don’t really remember the details. The control key is sticky. It takes about twice as much force to push down and it really annoys me. I suppose I thought over the years it would get better, but it seems like it has gotten worse. How do I clean it or fix it? This keyboard does not have removable switches. The switch is MX Brown.
even without hotswappable switches there’s a good chance you’d be able to replace the switch anyway
if cleaning it doesn’t work, you should be able to look up how to desolder and then replace the switch yourself. you should only need a cheap soldering iron, some wick, some solder, and a new switch.
as long as it’s easy to physically get the keyboard apart, the switches should be just about the easiest thing to solder there is
