Well, you should not have used WD40 in the first place
(we could have told you that).
Sham Shui Po. I bought it home then found
that some keys were stuck, notably the ENTER
key and the Right Shift key under it.
I popped their keycaps and smelled the
corresponding MX keyswitches underneath.
It's like kerosene or WD40, I could not tell.
So, could those mysterious liquid be cleaned
without replacing the corresponding keyswitches?
Maybe an arsonist suddenly aborted a dark
operation and dumped the keyboard. I dunno... :)
It is probably less trouble to find another keyboard.
I don't know how much solder-heat a switch like that can take.
