So I was cleaning out my keyboard the other day (emech-1) and on the amazon page it said that the keyboard was waterproof so I run some tap water on my keyboard (really, really, really bad idea on my part) and after drying it it was working fine! Until today.

I was playing fortnite and I realised that when I held down w it would register as if I were repetiadley tapping it. So I took the keyboard apart and I found this https://imgur.com/a/feBihYR

I think that I have burnt the PCB traces but I’m not sure. Could someone clear this up for me please and help me find a solution? I have found no moisture inside of the keyboard so it all must’ve drained off or something.

Thank you,
Stefan

 
Solution
You can try to replace the key that is having issues if they are replaceable and you can find parts for your model. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?
