So someone told me its likely not water damage fucking up my M/J keys. which is good.
But now I'm worried if I bring it in, they'll crucify me for replacing one of the scissor key mechanisms.
When i was first trying to figure out what was wrong with my M key, i opened it up, found a lot of dust and cleaned it out, but the scissor clip has a part that was bent so I got a replacement off of amazon, and it's near exactly the same but like the Product numbers are written on it different.
just to be clear, the scissor mechanism isn't the problem, as far as i can tell. the keys were fucking up before i replaced it, and actually seemed to get better right after i did it.
