Nobody will be allowed drink at their workstation now thanks to you... just hide the keyboard and tell the admins you never recieved one and have been working with the mouse and charmap.exe all this time.

I think I got it all out, thanks guys.
I went around each key with a paper towel soaking all the dropplets that were left after I shook the hell out of it.

I am not telling anyone, the first time in my life I spill something at my computer and it has to be at work, geesh

Worst thing you can do is use a hair dryer or a hand dryer.

Funnily enough the disposal cost of a keyboard ~€2 + VAT is a good chunk of the replacement cost.
