My cat just puked on my filco majestouch keyboard. Is it still repairable? My scroll and num lock now cannot be turned off. I have already purchased a keyboard cleaning kit at shopee but I don't know what to expect because this will be my first time removing those keycaps.

Thanks for the advices. The cleaning kit arrived yesterday and I quickly get to work on my keyboard. To my surprise removing the keycaps are very easy to do. Then I quickly used the brushes provided to remove all the accumulated dusts and gunk that's been there eversince I bought the keyboard years ago. Still, due to the cat's puke, my keyboard now smell like dried fish lol. As for the keycaps I wash it with dishwasher soap and I am going to let it dry for a few days.

As for function goes, my keyboard now seems to function back to normal after cleaning. The scroll lock key in which previously does not work due to the puke now functions. As of now my keyboard is naked without the caps. Maybe I need a backup keycaps so that I can rotate it between cleaning time.

I was lucky that the vomit liquid were thick enough not to free flow into my keyboard. Attached is what my keyboard looked like before and after.

This was my keyboard before cleaning.


This was the result of years of neglect.


This was after clean up

Since all the keycaps were removed, might as well get myself a new set of keycaps.


Saw one seller who sells this pattern of keycaps (not sure what are the colour scheme called) whom has a photo of a filco with this keycaps. Said
that this were made of PBT so I just bought it. Once arrived I quickly install it. So far looked good and hopefully will lasts for a long time.

I am not sure myself because I never experienced key chattering. Maybe because of the keyboard build quality perhaps that such thing happens?
Yes they are the dye sub type. Initially wanting a double shot keycaps only to be told that are for backlit keyboards and suggested dye sub instead.
So far the keycaps felt nice when typing and the looks are refreshing.
