Mechanical Keyboard not working

[Caolan]

Hello I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here ill go...

So basically ive broken 3 different mechanical keyboards in about a year. They all seem to break by the keys around the wasd area slowly becoming less and less responsive until completely going. I get really sweaty fingers and I was wondering if that could be to do with it. Ive tried googling but I couldn't find anything that seemed helpful.

any help I could get would be really appreciated thanks.

Get a water proof one? I doubt it is the sweat, as normal warranty exclude water damage

Take the keys off and put them back on and see if that does anything.

Nah, I know a guy that sweats, and he had it kill one of his keyboards (Corsair K70 iirc.)
It's entirely possible to kill parts with sweat. However, I don't know how someone could sweat that much, or what would even cause it.

Another reason is he could have heavy hands (he smacks his ♥♥♥♥ around loads.)

i would wipe your hands once in a while if you believe its that

it could also be your mashing your keyboard so much, maybe some faulty switches, who knows

but there are keyboards out there that allows your to take off the switches without any soldering
so if a switch breaks, you can just cheaply and easily replace it

the only keyboard i know that has it is the tecware phantom, its off-brand but its still a damn good keyboard
it comes with outemu red/blue/brown switches, but i plan to replace the switches with kailh box reds

Do you game a lot? It sounds like you're rough on your movement controls and may have worn them out by being too rough with the WASD keys. What keyboards were they? It's entirely possible that you were just using low-quality boards and they crapped out as well.

Yes, it's possible to short boards out with sweat, sweat is basically just salt water. It's impossible to know unless you tell us more. But either way, I have a couple of recommendations: get a waterproof keyboard or start using keyboards with key switches that are harder to press down on. Perhaps Cherry MX Blues or Browns?

Yes I do game a lot, but im not particularly rough with the keyboards. I dont think it could be me being to rough as this never happens when I use a membrane keyboard. The first keyboard the top row of letters went, I cant remember the exact keys on the second one but they were still around WASD and then on my most recent keyboard the D key has started to lose responsiveness so im just assuming that its gonna end up the same.

Oh and the first keyboard was a massive chunky roccat keyboard I dont remember the exact model. The second one was this Fnatic one again dont remember the exact model. And then my most recent one was just a cheap off brand one that had good reviews on amazon.

thanks for the help

I've got some board recommendations that will most likely last you for years to come. They have good build quality for the most part, so I urge you to take a look at these.

Also, consider building your own keyboard. That way you know you're buying quality because you can cherry-pick the individual parts and construct it yourself.
