Okay so I just spill a full cup of tea (with milk and sugar) over my keyboard. Corsair k70 lux RGB. Any clues on a survival rate... It started randomly tabbing through things and typing before I had my PC's power off and starting drying removing key caps etc. Any advice would be appreciated

Alcohol cleaning up the switches, soak the tab switch in alcohol and blow out with compressed air while actuating the switch. 

 

Basically have to go switch by switch which takes forever but a good chance to recover the keyboard.

Well the switches are fucked. If by some miracle the contacts aren't ruined, they will probably feel sticky and gross. You'd have to open it up, desolder all the switches, and either go through the very tedious process of disassembling, ultrasonic cleaning, and reassembling them, or just replace them outright. Resolder, reassemble, and then hope it still works.

 

 

Imo it's absolutely not worth it for a Corsair. Learn your lesson and move on to another board.

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it
