How to fix a key that does not respond [Mechanical keyboard]

OK so I was think of making an update video on how to clean your keyboard properly. Should I or not?

One of my keys stopped working recently, but thanks to you it came back to life. Many thanks! I've never thought the solution could be that simple, and I was afraid that I might have to throw this keyboard away lol. Thanks, again and cheers!

i literally thought bro was gaslighting us by doing some crap, but decided to it anyways, and it somehow actually fixed the issue.

[@sathvik.m.shenoy-2439]

Thanks dude my "e" key was not working. What was worse was i only bought this keyboard a few days ago against my fathers wishes (he said that i could use my summer job money to buy something useful). After watching this video my key works now! You deserve a like and a sub ! Here's a bunch of Es: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

same here. happening on my new keyboard gonna try this out soon.

[@mrtoff]

I usually don't comment, but now I'm writing this with my mechanical keyboard which had the same issue. I tried this method and worked! Many buttons didn't response(about 7-8 times out of 10), but now they all work, main enter was dead and now working without any issue. It really works! I hadn't believe it first, but now I'm 100%. Thank you so much, you just saved my keyboard. Edit: I upgraded this method with using a tweezer to hold x shaped plastic and push pull it fast while blowing air.

[@royalpein8434]

I was so annoyed by my keyboard not responding all the time and found this video and thought to myself it's silly and won't work but i tried it anyway and it actually worked lmao. Thanks bro you saved me from tilting and breaking my keyboard in half. I guess this is a common thing in Royal Kludge keyboards (i have the RKG87)

[@MRJMXHD]

My "M" key was lagging a lot. I just stumbled upon this video and it fixed my problem in less than 5 minutes. You're GOATED, I just wanna say, thank you so much.

If you ever have a keyboard that does this: Arrow keys are wasd and wasd are arrow keys. Look for the function button on your keyboard, then hold the function button and press any arrow key or wasd key. Although this might not be the case for all of you but it might work.

Holy sht 4 years later it still works :D ive had this for almost 1 year now, thanks alot!

[@Niki-et2io]

Guys, if this didnt work for you, you can try putting a little bit of 99% alcohol into the switch and then press it rapidly (or blow it with something with like a hair dryer) so the alcohol evaporates. Tried this with my redragon k599 red switch and it worked! Just make sure to not put too much alcohol.

[@Glushe]

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I just blew a few times and pressed while blowing and it started working. You are a legend for making this.

Any update? I want to pick this keebs too

[@balloon3503]

My rk61 is still doing fine after a year with none of the switches doing funny stuff. Though, I have experienced VERY rare glitches where some keys don't input but it always has been fixed by hard resetting it (long pressing fn key+space). Idk about the prices where you are from but I've seen boards that are essentially the same thing, specially if you don't care about Bluetooth connectivity, and that are hotswappable if you plan on modding on the future for a bit of a lower price so do keep that in mind.
