Tartarus V2 gradually losing keys

I bought a second hand Tartarus V2 a while back and noticed the bottom row (16,17,18 and 19) didn’t work. I thought the key mechanism or the PCB underneath must’ve been dirty so I took it apart to clean it. After cleaning it with alcohol on cotton swabs and letting it dry, I noticed that now the 12 through 15 keys didn’t work. So I took it apart again to clean it again and make sure all parts were put back correctly… Now all that works are the 1 through 6 keys (The wheel, D-pad and 20 key always worked).

Beginning to remark a pattern here. It goes bad from bottom right to top left, anybody encountered this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've essentially had the same experience but backwards. Got a second hand, untouched V2 and all the keys worked no problem for a few days. Then the first row: [01] [02] [03] [04] [05], stopped working for seemingly no reason. I've done most software troubleshooting I found online but haven't tried taking it apart and cleaning it. Then recently, just a few months later, the next row below those keys has stopped working. I have no idea why but would love for Razer to figure out a fix or at least a reason for this cascading malfunction.
