Hello AryanAmbastha,

It looks like it is faulty, You might need to replace it. If I recall correctly, it will either be a snapin or soldered down. Either way you will need to remove all of the key caps and dissasemble the keyboard. After removing the PCB you will either need to depress the plastic snap-ons holding it in or desolder the pins holding it on the PCB. https://www.howtogeek.com/350279/how-to-replace-and-re-solder-a-mechanical-keyboard-switch/

Above is an article to walk you through it. It is worth it to replace the switch rather then buy a new keyboard. A new Cherry mx blue costs around 11$ + shipping for 10 on amazon, A decent soldering iron kit costs around 20$, a solder sucker around 10 and new solder around 10$ for a roll that will last a long time. In total that is 41$ vs buying a new keyboard. You should wear a ESD strap and be sure you have everything before you start, or you will be out a keyboard. If you need anymore help I am sure someone on this forum can help you.

Best of luck!

Probably faulty, have you tried a bit of WD40?

From his photo it's clear he has through-hole LEDs. He would have to desolder the LED to open the switch.  If he's going to desolder he might as well replace the switch. Also you're not supposed to lube clicky switches like blues.

true didnt pay attention to leds but I did put some on my browns delete key but I used used some stuff from work

dont know the name of it but worked fine that was like 4yrs ago
