Blackwidow water spill now spacebar a little weird.
« on: Mon, 07 October 2013, 17:17:55 »
So I spilled water on my Blackwidow keyboard and some keys were being weird and spacebar wasn’t working at all. So I used a hair dryer and left it upside down. After a while I plugged it in and everything worked except the spacebar. The spacebar won’t do anything when I hold it down and only spaces if the key is all the way up. So can someone tell me why this is happening when the key is working and also the best way to fix/clean the spacebar? Thanks

I don't know if anyone else would agree or if it's a good solution( I'm going with what I learned in biology...) regular water has minerals so eventually it would erode. Take apart the board and rinse with distiller water and let it dry for a few days.

You might be up for a switch replacement.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
