Corsair k60 Suddenly Malfunctions After Opening

[Dyaems]

Topic, friend tried opening his K60 which he successfully did, to perform a "maintenance" cleaning to remove dust and what not. I doubt there should be dust inside the k60 but he opened it anyway. After putting everything back, the keyboard worked for about 5 minutes, then suddenly it automatically presses majority of buttons simultaneously - I checked this using a keytester. It was spamming ZXCV, F4, alt, ctrl, UIOP, and other more keys that I have forgotten.

I opened the k60 and just to check if there is some misalignment specially on the membrane, and I can't seem to find any. I put it back together and it is still doing the same issue.


Any ideas how to fix it? Last resort would be desoldering the switches and a pat on my friends back but lets not get to that for now.

UPDATE: Not sure how it happened but it is dead. I'll just desolder the switches and put it on a CIY keyboard, haha.

I just cleaned mine up to give it to a friend and the last thing I thought of when looking at it with the keycaps off was to take it apart. Good luck with the swap. The plastic case looks like some kind of mass produced mess. I wonder why it took a dump after opening.

At least he wont have some rubber dome keys anymore tell him thats one positive to ditching it

Agree with the plastic case, haha. Actually this is the second K60 that died that I know of. The first one also died after switch swap because the W key suddenly stopped functioning.
