I cleaned my keyboard base with some q tips and water as well as the keys themselves. After everything dried off I put it all back and once I started a game I noticed I couldn't reverse diagonally anymore (aka s and d or s and a dont work together anymore). The keys themselves work fine and I can go forward diagonally. Any help?

That's a bit odd, usually when a keyboard is broken the keys don't work, not work on their own. Could have still damaged some contacts on it so they don't register properly. Pretty much impossible to know if there is anything you can do yourself to fix it. Maybe try it on another computer. You want to keep away from using water to clean electronics, alcohol is much better and in tiny amounts just enough to wet the thing you are cleaning with.
