Washed my k95 under running water

It's nothing special, like a thick cappuccino, but since the caffeine is diluted in even more fats it has a slower release, so you can avoid the eventual crash (to be fair I do it just because I'm a huge Joe Rogan fan).

Anyway this is the weird fluid:

Squeezed a couple of them in the sticky red switches, worked great just like last time.
Wish I had made a video ofthe whole process, would've been an internet superstar (...). Maybe next time.

Tap water will leave deposits on the keyboard... Best thing to use is alcohol.

I used to "clean" my keyboard with stella quite regularly if thats what ya mean, i just used to end up with sticky keys though and a few days later a new keyboard.

Ok things aren't going that well, can you suggest me a good lubricant for the switches?

Unplug keyboard, remove keycaps, flush out with IPA (inside the switches too), tip upside down and dab switches with cotton buds to hasten removal/evaporation of IPA, when dried out spray a little squirt of switch cleaning lubricant in the affected switches (the ones you sprayed IPA in), use cotton buds to absorb any excess and finally leave for a short while for that to evaporate. The IPA, switch cleaning lubricant and cotton buds may cost a few quid, but it's a lot cheaper than a new keyboard and they should last awhile unless you're a serial spiller. Alternatively buy some new Cherry MX switches, dismantle your keyboard and replace the dodgy ones.
Oh yeah, switch cleaning lubricant, pick your supplier, I have used Servisol Super 10.
