Hi,

I was using one of those das cherry mx brown keyboards, until i spilled a smoothie on it... the keyboard completely died, and there was no chance to save it.

Basically right now I'm searching for a 60-70 dollar mechanical keyboard, and it would be nice if i could find another one that is brown. Is there something like that?

Kinda hard to find some, for some reason the Quickfire Rapid with MX Browns is priced a lot higher than the others..

These two are a little above your range but are still pretty cheap.

Most manufacturers will accept an RMA if you clean it out well enough.

Most manufacturers pass on their RMA costs to their customers in the form of Price Hikes.

I didnt spill a smoothie on my keyboard but I tried putting a single drop of Isoproply alcohol on my broken letter A, for some reason its now working properly again ( cross fingers ) but the press sound is not as clicky as before, would this mean that the alcohol isnt 100% dried out yet?
