A couple months ago, I spilt coffee near my spacebar. I had it dried and cleaned it with some isopropyl alcohol and for a while, it seemed to work fine.
However, Z,X,C,V would randomly spam out extra letters
i.e. typing "zxcv" might look like "zxxccvcv".
Currently though, Z,X,C,V work perfectly fine and now A, S, and keys from the numberpad have the problem.
Odd thing is LEDs for for all problematic keys have always worked fine.
1. Is this more likely a mechanical issue or circuitry issue?
2. Is it ok to dunk the circuit board in an alcohol bath and shake it up a bit? (or what could I do that might help fix whatever the issue is?)
