Corsair Raptor K40

[ImASpork]

So around my birthday, March 7, I bought a Corsair Raptor. Unfortunately, it has been broken since around the end of April. I had turned off my computer and left my cup of water (around 1/3 of a liter) on my desk. I had my pullout drawer for my keyboard left out, unusually. Sometime in the middle of the night, my cat jumped onto my desk and knocked over my water. Which, sadly, ended up getting on my keyboard. The next day when I woke up to this horrible event, I took everything apart and tried to remove all the water. I used isopropyl rubbing alcohol to clean the insides and then quickly evaporate. I felt fairly confident with this as I was following a very highly reviewed guide on how to fix water damage on a keyboard. I left my keyboard to fully dry (more than needed) for I believe about 2 hours. I then plugged it into my computer and was incredibly happy to find my keyboard working normally. A couple days later, (or later the same day, I'm not entirely sure) the keyboard began acting up. There are three lights on the top left that trigger due to either: Numblock, Capslock, and download. Instead of the normal lights, they're flashing white. The MR, M1, M2, M3 and lock button on my keyboard do not work as well, which i tie to the flashing lights (just a guess). Now, I know for sure that some keys do not work due to the water damage. Here is an example as I type the alphabet for you all.

 

A B C D E F G H J K L M N (O) (P) Q R S T (U) V W (Y) Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) (9) 0 (-) (+) 3 (Left Ctrl) (Left Windows Key)

 

(<key>) means that key does not work.

 

As you look at this example, you can tell that the water spill is somewhat oddly placed, but that's not the point. I'm curious if it's too late to fix my keyboard (through home remedies) still, or is it too late? As it's been 3 months, I have little hope. I'm just a bit tired of a standard keyboard.

 

If home remedies are a no go, as maybe the membrane or circuits of the keyboard are too messed up, is there a website or way I can get my keyboard repaired? I've searched, and to no avail, I can not find a place where I can fix my keyboard and continue my awesome gaming experience with this fantastic keyboard.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi! I recently bought this keyboard and I am now experiencing the same problem as you. The only difference being that my keyboard hasn't come into contact with any water or suffered any damage. Did you ever figure out if/how to fix it? Thank you!

I do remember Technobeard saying that the warranty is voided as they do not cover water damage.
