Hello, I'm an owner of a msi gt72.

Recently my esc key stopped working. My guess it was when It accidentally got damp after i used it after recently coming out of the shower even though I had done this before. Is there a possibility to either remap or completely fix it without having to replace the entire keyboard?

Not really, no. I mean, it might be possible to fix just that one key, but it's not worth the hassle (you'd more likely than not have to desolder the switch, find a replacement, and solder it back on).

Quote me to see my reply!

I forgot the name of the software, but I'm sure there are some apps which let you remap the key to a new one. I don't know if they really work but yes, they do exist.
