I accidentally dropped water on my g11 keyboard, and I'm currently struggling with the repair. I dried it right away, but a few keys still didn't work properly. Eventually, I gave up for months until I remembered I hadn't fixed it before. Do you know where to begin? The silicone on one key looks torn.

Yes, I'm aware it's an older model and I rely heavily on the extra keys.

Be mindful of the silicon pads; they can be relocated if handled properly. I recommend removing the damaged pad and replacing it with a spare located near an unused key, such as under a rarely pressed number key. Since the board is full-sized, swapping one of the pads near a non-essential key—like the home button, page up, or page down—might be the best solution. Gamers often don’t need these functions.

It's really a single piece, I'm not sure about it.

the item is already compromised, so the same applies. employ a very precise knife. use one of those compact hobbyist tools with an extremely sharp blade to carefully remove the required square section. then cut an identical-sized piece from a key you don’t use. simply place it in position without glue—just ensure the dome is there to guide the key back into place after pressing. i don’t know the extent of the damage or the size of the tear, but if it’s minor you could try peeling off the sheet and using a toothpick to gently spread a tiny bit of clear silicone into the crack, then let it dry. essentially, you’re risk-free unless you can’t find any material.
