Question Entire row of keys stopped working

[Cinc0]

I have a corsair k70 rgb and the entire tab+qwerty row either registers the entire row being pressed or doesn't do anything at all. I did spill a drink on it a few months ago but it was fine until yesterday. The issue started with the 'w' key, all other keys worked fine until I restarted the pc. I tried cleaning it the best I could but it didnt help. Anything else I can try or should I just buy a new one? Thanks in advance

Try the keyboard on another known working computer.

Try another known working keyboard on your computer.

Determine if the "Tab- QWERTY row" problem follows the keyboard or stays with the computer.

If the problem follows the keyboard then you might try deeper cleaning - pull key caps etc..

Google the keyboard model for cleaning information and ideas. Be sure to check Corsair's website for manuals, forum, and FAQ website pages fo cleaning questions and instructions.

Nothing to lose.

I ended up taking it fully apart and cleaning is much as I could. I got a wet q-tip and just mashed the w key with it. The key switch is a little funky now but it totally works. Thanks for the advice
