It stopped working after I spilled red wine on it (kept activating same keys repeatedly), I let it dry but then many keys got sticky. So I could not really use it.

So last week I cleaned the keys that were sticky, with some ArticClean Thermal Paste remover. I put a drop in the switch and pressed it multiple times, then let the keyboard dry for a week, now it works.

BUT...the plastic under the keys that you can remove got bit fragile from the solution I think since it broke off from the PauseBreak key, but it still works it's just bit lower than the others.

Anyway, finally can use my mechanical keyboard again and not that shitty membrane shit I had before, and I can have my nice LED colors!

Nice, rocking a Corsair Strafe, cherry mx reds. Red backlight, no rgb. I fucking love it, never going back to membrane.

I need another, thinking about getting the Platinum.

CE doesn't appreciate a good keyboard. It's sad really. They know not what they've (not)done.
