Reply to comment by Criticalwater2 in poured water on my drop alt high profile:( by DentalBoiDMD

Appreciate the detailed response. Yea, it looks like I'll have to pull the trigger on a bareboner, but it's such a waste because I don't need the case

Can switches get water damaged? considering it's mainly just plastic, spring, and a metal strip?

I almost jumped on nk65 and q2 many times, but I really love how clean and high quality the switches sound in metal cases.

I think the problem with the switches is that the moisture causes the metal contacts to oxidize and that would make them unreliable.

Although, now that I think about it, I’m probably being overly cautious. The caps cover the stems and unless the switch housing had a crack or hole, water wouldn’t really be able to get in from a small spill.

ill make sure to check each switch while im placing it. I ordered a new barebones off fb marketplace, and Im eyeing the nuphy 65 keyboard too. the wireless/multi connect features are REALLY tempting me, and i would have bought that instead of my alt drop if i knew about it before haha
