Few months back my sturdy, reliable SteelSeries Apex M400 started playing up after years of excellent service. Random key misses, trails of letters after just one key press, etc. Gave it a fairly good clean but no joy so relished the opportunity to get a Keychron V6 Max. Absolutely loved the Keychron until a red wine spill the other day. Disassembled it, cleaned/wiped everywhere, dried out the gaskets, etc, but no joy. In the meantime I'd bothered to deep clean the M400 - properly this time - and put fresh Matcha green keycaps on it. Working again with no probs. So, I'm back to using the M400 which I've always loved for its heft but debating whether or not to buy a Keychron Q6 Max and just, y'know, sort out my drinking problem.
