Hello,
I've managed to spill some sweet liquid on my Corsair K60 keyboard. After disconnecting it, removing any inside excess liquid and letting it to dry for 2 days everything is working fine except 2 of the keys (S and D) that seem "sticky" and don't feel the same as the others.
What should I do to fix this? since the warranty is void in this case.
I've used a bit of circuit spray on the mechanical switches but with no result.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I recommend switching the switches on S and D.

I'm not sure what kind of case this is but what I would end up doing is ordering two new keys (find out what's in there-PCB mount or plate-mount, MX Browns or reds or blues or whatever) and de-solder the messed-up switches and install some new ones.
Alternatively you can try to open the switches and clean them, but in many cases this requires desoldering anyway.

Buy a bag of 10 switches from WASD, and replace them..
THIS saves SO MUCH TIME... vs cleaning.
