These keys aren't responding well on my keyboard.
Hello,
I own a Razer Cyanosa Lite keyboard that has been in use for two years but hasn't been used much. Certain keys, such as the left CTRL, sometimes feel stiff when pressed too hard and respond with resistance. A video linked here shows cleaning methods:

I was advised to clean the keyboard thoroughly, and I've tried three approaches so far. One method involved fully disassembling the keyboard, using a brush, soap, and water, and cleaning the silicone parts inside. Another involved removing all keys individually, cleaning each one separately, and wiping down the top and silicone without rinsing in the shower. The last approach was the most time-consuming but not ideal, as someone mentioned that even careful handling can cause damage.
What advice would you give?
I experienced a comparable problem with my Logitech G105 MW Edition keyboard. The fix involved cleaning the entire keyboard with q-tips and rubbing alcohol while soaking the keycaps in soapy water for an hour. Unfortunately, the problem persisted because the housing where the keys were inserted was damaged. Regarding your concern, the low quality of Razer products is clear when you attempt to take them apart. This discussion clarifies what the keycaps actually fit into. A creaky Razer Keyboard Here’s some background on my issue: I recently received a Razer Cynosa Chroma (standard model) and the keys are now creaking. It’s not an issue with all keys, but specifically the "w, a, s," and "d" keys. The term "creaky" refers to pressing them down and then needing to... forums. and handling keycap removal carefully is essential. Use two small flat head screwdrivers and be patient. First remove the keycaps, then gently use q-tips inside the base or housing. This keyboard uses a membrane design. The final video was problematic because pulling the keycaps off at an angle rather than twisting the keyboard caused further damage... using a weak keycap puller made it worse.
