u cant try the spill guide here https://imgur.com/a/9sHx7#LrfBe3Z but by plugging it in without letting it dry for 3 or 4 days u may have caused an electrical short . no u cant get a new pcb . no 2 65% pcbs are the same they all have different sizing and mounting . if it fried u will end up replacing the whole thing

Ahh, I might sol. I left it plugged in overnight :(

By whole thing, do you mean the entire case/pcb?

Also, do I need to replace my switches

1. Pull all the switches and completely disassemble the board.
2. Make sure everything is completely dry.
3. Test the pcb outside of the case. Also try a new cord in case the cord is damaged.
4. If it doesn’t work, you can buy a used barebones Alt on eBay for $60-$80 or so. (On Drop a new pcb is $65, but they’re not in stock).
5. If you reuse the switches, test them as you go—water may have gotten inside some of them, too.
6. If it all sounds like a lot of work, you can always just get a new board and switches and reuse the stabs and caps. There are some better 65s out there now. Think of it as an opportunity to get something a little more up to date like a Q2 or NK65.

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.

yes the entire kb should have been taken apart and dried for a few days then put back together

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
