welp, just bought a new keyboard. this one has swappable switches so if something wacky does happen again, i can just swap stuff out. it's also from a brand that i have heard great stuff from.

it's a good thing i haven't bought system shock or some NGS stuff yet because there goes my funds for that.

And yes I have been almost exclusively working on this for about 16 hours now. I want to kill myself. It was supposed to be a simple cleaning xD

I don't wanna say "I told you so"

BUT

Everyone was complaining about NGS ver2 "only adding creative spaces" up until it actually came out and now everyone is spending hours upon hours in it because it's INSANE how much you can do with it.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but man, it's so clear that this is what SEGA has been working on for a long time. It really shows. And nobody believed that it was worthy of making the game ver2 xD

keyboard update, backspace works as intended now and so does enter for some reason, but now insert and delete are back slash and back space.

washed the old keyboard using the exact same method and it's totally fine. works better than it used to probably. i don't get it. i really don't know what i did wrong with that thing.

Well, shit's fucked.
I was gonna need a new keyboard anyway so it's not like I lost anything, but I'm still mad. I have no idea what I did. I took it apart several times, looked to see if anything was fucked, replaced everything, rewashed stuff, just.... Nothing works.

Even if it is some sort of firmware issue, where like when I reset it or opened it up or something it reset or got corrupted or whatever, the company doesn't produce the keyboard anymore and all of the drivers are wiped. Had a 2 year warranty but I've had it for 3.

Gonna dig up the old keyboard now and hope that works (I really need to clean that one too, it's been sitting in storage for a long time). If it doesn't, I'll probably be heading over to Walmart in a few hours. Still going to buy a new board regardless. Dammit.

my keyboard has taken on a mind of its own. before i know it there will be a mysterious doom wad on my pc.

okay so now my LEDs are working and my F key is working flawlessly, sweet!
but uhhh, i've got some other problems. keys are pressing other keys and i can't use backspace unless i highlight text first. no idea wtf is going on.

scratch that, everything works except my "F" key now for some reason, which is having the same problem that my spacebar, S, D, and I keys were having before. they just sometimes don't work. i cleaned the hell out of this and it fixed 4 keys in the process so why is one of them now refusing to cooperate? :S

maybe i just need a new keyboard at this point. that sucks though because i thought mechanicals were supposed to last for a lot longer, not like 3 years.

hey, i'd rather have a functioning keyboard again that doesn't have keys that stop working than one with LEDs xD although the keys don't light up at all and don't have white paint, it's all clear... so it's kinda hard to see.

well, since i wasn't able to play music today because the FUCKING WEATHER IS STILL BALLSHIT

i deep cleaned my keyboard instead :3 it looks very nice! took about 4 hours lol but it was worth it. took off every key and cleaned each one, pulled apart the keyboard itself to clean the inside, etc.

i must have fucked something up though because the LEDs aren't working too well xD
