Posted August 16, 2019 So yesterday I spilt a glass of water on my hyperx alloy fps pro and it was working fine after I cleaned it off but then the space bar stopped working. If I stopped using it now can I still fix my space bar? Someone help me please I am in desperate need of it. CLOSED was able to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are the switch is dead and you’ll need to replace it. You have to pop the board open, desolder the bad switch and solder a new one on.

Chances are this won’t work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be damaged by 5v. Shorts can kill silicon. Water on it's own can kill a switch. Mechanical Keyboard Switch Lubing Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
