Spacebar is retarded

So I recently spilled pepsi all over my beloved mechanical (im good ik) and it's not working no matter the fixes I've tried.

Been reduced to using some piece of shit made by Trust. It's fine for what it is, but I've noticed that the spacebar seems to be dominant on one side (left), and that proves to be a real pain in the ass during midfights when I'm trying to jump.

Can anyone think of a way around it or should I just look into buying a new mechanical?

AndKennethmouse2 is common among quake players.

But it'd be confusing to swift off m2 to conch, uber, sniper scope.
When my space was glitchy I used m3/m4 if you have a mouse that can support it.

People tend to use jump more than attack2 so it's probably easier to make jump scroll or mouse2 and attack2 (uber, sniper scope) to mouse3/mouse4/mouse5

just buy a new one and stop giving your keyboard beverages - it is never thirsty

Run your old keyboard through the dishwasher with no soap or other dishes. Let it dry for 2 days.. Should work again. (fixed mine when I spilled OJ on it.)

Had a similar incident with some soda, ended up with a few sticky switches. Carefully cleaning them with 96% ethyl alcohol fixed it for me.

Any mechanical keyboard worth its salt should have replaceable switches. Go and source some replacements off Ebay or something and swap them in.

rock-how did you break a mech kb by spilling stuff on it? it's nearly impossible...

I know how it feels bro. Happened to my last corsair k70. Was sad day. :< But then discovered the wonderfulness of Noppoo Choc Mini.

Did not try the 96% ethyl alcohol though. That would be worth a try. Also switching to mwheeldown +jump is great idea.
