Just the keyboard? I threw a cold cuppa over my 16 year old once. Mars didn't say a word, but he did have to take the keyboard apart. When he dealt with that, he quietly washed the monitor, ceiling, computer desk..........
Helps if you don't take sugar though. biggrin

Believe it or not, water is the best thing, just wash the keyboard, but make sure that you dry it properly. If you take sugar in your coffee, and you don't wash it off, you could be in trouble.

I used flash liquid on mine once. Then I bought a new keyboard so I could see the letters once more rolleyes
Have to be without keyboard for a day or so but:
Unplug keyboard from system
Take to bathroom
Run warm shower over keyboard, until water runs clear again
Hang keyboard by cable up to dry
After 24-48hrs should be dry and can be re-connected again.
Drawback to this is: If you are as addicted to SH as I am one day, much less two, away is just not worth it, go buy another and then clean that one and have a spare.
Switch off puter ............. take valium to combat the DT's
Unplug keyboard ............. gently
Get star drive .................... if you can remember wtf you put the darned thing last time you used it
Get wife/partner ............. shout at them for losing your star drive that you just know you left on the kitchen table, six weeks ago
Go red ……………… when wife / partner finds star drive exactly where you left it, (in the bottom drawer)
Open keyboard…………. Very carefully making sure to swear at the manufacturers for gluing the feckin screws in
Remove keyboard overlay …………… scream hysterically as all the keys tumble to the floor
Wipe keyboard internals ……….. Be sure to have elastoplasts to hand.
Reassemble keyboard …………… yeah right
Decision time ………………… do you spend the next three years trying to remember where all the keys go?
Or do you just go and blow your last tenner on a new one??? Lol
HTH
:twisted:

works on my t shirts dunno
give it up buy a new one :shock:
Keyboards are getting pretty pricey nowadays. £10 will get you the very basic so yeah a new one wouldn't be that bad. However dependant on the wireless type (radio or bluetooth) you can be looking at £15 (radio) to £90 (bluetooth).
Follow the water advice. Just don't get impatient and put it in the airing cupboard. rolleyes

If you take sugar in your coffee then the prognosis is not good. Sugar attacks the circuit board and will usually mean that the electronic item is unreliable or nonfunctional.
If you drop coke, coffee or whatever onto your keyboard immediately unplug it, remove any batteries (for wireless ones) and place it in a bath of cold water. If you get chance take it apart and gently sponge the circuit board with clean water - no solvents or soaps. Allow to dry completely (at least 24 hours), re-assemble (if you took it apart) and try it.
In the meantime start saving for a new keyboard as the likelihood is that the old one will never be the same again.
Make a note not to allow drinks within spilling distance of your keyboard and bolt the stable door ;)
Scrap your keyboard and get one the only one you'll ever need......................ever.
