A lot of people on hee have opened theirs to paint it. And they say its pretty easy. I think it has clips around the edge you need to slide something like a thin flathead.Originally Posted by pococurante 
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, like the other guides I've seen, the next step after "wait for it to dry and then try it again" involved opening up the keyboard case. The Quickfire Rapid has no exposed screws and seems to be built similarly to an iPhone, it's just not designed for you to be able to get to the insides.
What I went with was removing the key caps and using a drop or two of 70% isopropyl alcohol on the affected switches. Two of them went right back to normal, one still has a very slight imperfect non-crisp clicky feel but still functions fine, and one just doesn't want to cooperate. The key still works though, and actually feels pretty similar to a Cherry Brown switch now.
Luckily the affected keys were ones I rarely use on the bottom right side if the keyboard, and the gummy one is the right side Alt key which I honestly may never press again in my life.
