Recovered Keyboard with Damage
Hello, I own a Corsair K63 and I’ve developed some scratches on the exterior shell using a metal object – is there a solution to repair this damage?
Where is the imperfection located on the keys? Is the keyboard operational?
Generally, considering the extent of the damage – its depth, length, and physical characteristics – it’s best to accept the issue without extensive intervention.
Repairing with fillers, sanding, polishing, and similar treatments are more prone to exacerbating cosmetic problems or potentially introducing functional issues to the keyboard.
My recommendation would be a minimal application of furniture polish using a clean, smooth cloth, applied with great care. However, this is based on an unobserved assessment, so it should only be attempted as a final option.
Refer to the keyboard’s User Guide/Manual; it likely contains cleaning and maintenance guidelines. Ultimately, further action should be limited to that.
Eventually, you will cease to focus on the scratch, and even if not, you can simply view it as…
Where on the keys does the mark reside? Is the keyboard functioning correctly?
Generally speaking, based on the extent—the depth, size, and other physical characteristics of the damage—you should likely accept the issue as is.
Repairing with filling, sanding, or polishing is more prone to exacerbating a cosmetic defect and/or potentially damaging the keyboard’s operation.
My recommendation would be at most a minuscule amount of furniture polish applied gently with a clean, smooth cloth. However, this is based on an unobserved assessment, so it should only be attempted as a final option.
Refer to the keyboard's User Guide or Manual; there ought to be specific cleaning and maintenance guidelines outlined within. Ultimately, I’d advise against exceeding that level of intervention.
Eventually, you’ll likely cease to notice the scratch, and even if not, simply accept it for what it is.
