Did you save the coffee too?

I miss my Logitech K310. Cat hair? Spilt coffee? Throw it in the kitchen sink and give it a wash.

Congrats! I did the same. I think I cooked the Bluetooth chip, but it still works wired.

Demineralized water is not conductive. All the dirt from the keyboard might make is slightly conductive again, but every time there has been a spill in a mechanical keyboard, I take it apart, and soak it in demineralized water, then when it has soaked for a while I rinse it in fresh demineralized water, and then let it dry. I have only lost one keyboard, and I have saved the rest of the keyboards numerous times.

Did something similar with a hot chocolate a few years ago. Sticky gunge all over everything. Isopropyl alcohol is the best way to sort it.

Nice job! Look up "keyboard in dishwasher" and you will discover that it's a common way to clean many keyboards.

fyi - unless you completely dry it, it will likely die from corrosion in the near future.

Nice work. Bake it in the sun for a few hours. Long term, the danger is corrosion between tiny traces causing shorts. It needs to be bone dry in there.

I 100% would have bought another one. Good on ya OP

Huh. Yesterday I cleaned my keyboard because it was dirty. I have a mechanical keyboard and really coarse hair so when it gets trapped it can bind up the keys.

If the keycaps are grimy, soak them in a bowl of water with a denture cleaning tablet. Then rinse and leave them out to dry. Works well when keycaps get gross from finger grime too.

Hell yeah dude, I had something similar happen with my 6-week old Das years ago. Had to replace half the switches but managed to save it!

I've been meaning to try turning on the keyboard i cleaned coffee out of a few months ago. I gave it some extra time to dry by picking up a cheap keyboard and then just kept using the cheap keyboard out of laziness.
