I just cleaned out my Standard Razer Blackwidow and now it won't work. My USB and audio hub works fine but they keys won't work. Also, they keyboard's logo no longer lights up. I tried in another computer and same thing. Windows recognized the keyboard because it makes a noise when I plug in the USBs.

I used the straw with water method to clean a few switches, is it possible that some water got into the PCB? If so, is it fried? I ignored the warnings saying you need to wait two days (or whatever it was) before hooking the keyboard to a PC again so I realize I'm dumb and I obviously made a mistake.

So, what do you guys think I should do? Thanks.
 
I clean my keyboard with air, so yeah, you might have fried something, I wouldn't say get a new keyboard right away, I'm not sure what you should do next. But if you do need suggestions with new keyboards, I can help with that :)
 


I'm letting it dry out for a few days before I try it out again. I'm really hoping it works but if it doesn't it was my fault and I learned a lesson. I'm not really in a position to buy a new toy so I'll be crossing mg finger that it works.
 
Hey did your keyboard start working or are you SOL. I did the same thing to my keyboard and has also stopped working. Its only been 5 or so minutes since I tried but I panicked and came on here. PLease let me know if your keyboard has started to work cause i'm screwed if mine does not work.
p.s my keyboard is also a black widow from razor.
