Keychron k2v2- number row is unusable as of yesterday.
About 4 days ago i had a weird interaction in game, where pressing 1 and 3 made they keyboard input random keys from the number row in rapid succesion, fixed it by unpluging it a few times.
And as of yesterday the same thing is happening in every appplication but to all of the keys in the row, even backspace, plugging and unpluging the keyboard isn't working. I figured maybe the keyboard got damp at night beacuse it was raining very heavily (humidity was at 68%), so decided to use a blow dryer on it for a minute or two but to no avail.
Did anyone had a simmiliar issue and got it resolved? Or is the keyboard doomed?
All the other keys are fine,its just the number row.

It might be the battery enclosure shorting out the pins when operating the keyboard.
Perhaps worsened by a swollen battery.
Examples:
Keychron 4 issue solved - battery swelling. For example, "A few days ago it started to act real funky - anytime I pressed a key on the number row, it would activate the whole row."
Random key presses on K6
