I think it’s an issue with the PCB itself, it’s getting kinda rusty from old spills. I’m saving it of course, it still mostly works and I love the case and keycaps. Maybe someday I’ll create it anew with even louder switches and a fresh PCB.
I’m not sure the PCB can rust. Lead or other solder and copper should not at least, and the FR4 must be unaffected. If it’s spills, it’s more likely that it got into the switches causing contact issues.
Even if there’s rust, those could be bridged with some solder I guess. But then the question of course is, is it worth the hassle.
You could probably replace the individual switches by de-soldering them.

Okay well like…
I’m not mad at you, so I’m not gonna make you look at it. We’ll leave it at “needs replacing”
