Wish I lived closer - I have a couple of keyboards from long-dead computers I've stuck in the closet.

Also it may be possible to resurrect that wet keyboard according to this site:

Ya...I charade ;)

How the hell did you spill enough water on your keyboard to make it stop working?

...the glass, was far more than half full...

If you think it is shot, you could try to flush it with distilled water. It is usually the mineral contaminants in tap water that cause the short. After flushing, let it dry completely, and/or get compressed air to run through it.

I have resurrected some hardware specific keyboards like that.

And we see, once again, how "dependable" technology REALLY is.... At least you've the hunt and click method to fall back on... lol

Edit to add ~~~> You DO know a new keyboard is only around 20-50 bucks.....

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.
