Question Sticky button on a green switch

[Adam65]

So i was eating rice, after the food, i realised my D key was sticking, so i press, it waits for like 1 seconds, anyone else had this problem? If so how can i fix it? I just bought this keyboard and I dont want to lose it,
Also It doesnt press twice or so, but i have a feeling it will start doing that

[Adam65]

Im going to pour nail polish remover(acetone) Help guys is it alcohol will it damage my keyboard??d

 

[COLGeek]

Yes, the acetone will damage the keyboard (eats plastic). DO NOT do this!

Acetone is NOT alcohol.

No. It is not. Acetone will damage (eat) plastic. Do not do this!

 

[Adam65]

I was about to do it, what shall i use? I don't have the alcohol, and my keyboard is sticking, only the D key

 

[COLGeek]

You would be better served getting alcohol or just using water and Q-Tip (cotton swab dampened) to try to clean the keyboard.

What make/model is your keyboard?

Will parfume work ? I have a brave desert

 

[COLGeek]

Will parfume work ?

No. I would not recommend using this.

It's razer blackwidow 2016, so right now i click it, it wont pop up it waits for like 1 seconds and its annoying, btw its only the D button others work perfect

 

[COLGeek]

Do you have access to another keyboard to use until you can clean properly?

 

[Adam65]

I'm going to take a trash usb flash drive open its brain and when its working I'll use perfume on it to see if it damages it, if it wont, should i be using it? And yeah i do


Also i shouldnt be clicking this button right? It keeps getting worse..

 

[COLGeek]

Likely pressing the debris deeper into the switch. Swap keyboards and wait to get the proper alcohol.

The perfume may have oils in it that could create other issues.

 

[Adam65]

After i get the alcohol i just need to pour 1,2 clicks right? Then it will do It's magic i assume

you should be able to take the key caps off. I had a BW a few years ago and they just pop off.

Also, isopropyl alcohol %99.1 is the one right?

STEİN %99,9 SAF İZOPROPİL ALKOL (İPA) 1LT. Fiyatları ve Özellikleri (n11.com)

No joke I clicked on this cos I spilled a whole energy drink on my blackwidow and so many switches are so <<edited by moderator>> sticky haha
Can anyone suggest how I can clean that mess up? My keyboard dried up for 4 days, I sprayed it down with a lot of water before so it needed to dry.
Now it seems like its working just fine but a lot of switched keep sticking and I cant really type on that since the pressure point is much higher than on the not sticky ones.
How am I supposed to clean it with the alcohol? What do I even need to clean exactly? Can I just poor the alcohol on my keyboard and let it dry for another few days for any magic?

See the Razer link above for their advice regarding how to properly clean a keyboard. You should also start your own thread as your situation could be different than the OP of this thread.

I got you, you need a needle and a cologne(cheapest one) now, take a knife or something thin, press the key, and stick the needle inside the switch, the cologne, Pour it 1,2 clicks and press it unpress it x50 times, and while doing that blow air with your mouth, and wowza, better than new
cologne is volatile so u need to blow air for like 20 seconds really hard and u gotta press it like 50 times(but isopropyl alcohol will do better i was poor so i used cologne LMAO) and dont pour too much !
