As if I hadn’t suffered enough “flood damage” this year, I started my first workday since rebuilding my home office setup – hour the first time in months! – in our rental… by pouring a cup of coffee into my keyboard. 😱

Gotta love the reliability of these mechanical keyboards. It was DEFINITELY broken to begin with, with all kinds of “shorting” issues.
So I unplugged it, stripped all the keycaps, then ran the whole unit under a cold tap for a bit. Then I shook out as much water as I could and put it in front of a fan heater for a couple of hours. Finally, I put it all back together again and it worked fine.
Hurrah!
