I cleaned my keyboard with just a wet papertowel and water spilled into some of the keycaps somehow. Now my spacebar keeps flickering in the wootility software saying I'm pressing it and changing how hard i press it. Do I have to get new lekker switches now or will it dry out eventually? Or is it jover and I cant use my keyboard anymore?

The switch likely isn’t the problem. If the keyboard pcb got wet and you continued to use it, you probably shorted something out. If that’s the case, oh well.

#

Switches themselves are nothing but plastic, a spring, and a magnet.

I just spent about 45 minutes taking out every keycap and every switch and the bottom white thing (pcb I’m assuming) was wet. I am having it dry out by itself but also rubbed my shirt inside the holes and shook it upside down to get water out. I washed my keyboard at about 2pm today and then played on it for 2.5 hours before taking a 6 hour break and then another 3 hours of gaming. Do you think it will work after it dries? If not do I have to buy a new keyboard or can I replace just the pcb or what should I do?

Let everything fully dry and see if it’ll work. If it’s messed up permanently, you can buy a new module if you have the 60 or 80

And would water damage be converted under warranty? Idk if I got one or not but I just got the keyboard about 2 months ago so it should be covered still if I have a warranty

$164.98 in the US. Your keyboard isn’t covered under warranty anymore after that. And if you tried to disguise it and file a claim, when they inspect, it wouldn’t be hard to tell if it’s got damage from fluids (if it’s permanently damaged).
