Should work fine after it dries out. My step-daughter spilled milk on her KB, I put it in the shower under hot water, let it dry out, it's fine!

I'm with SuperSix on this one. I spilled Coke on mine once. I took it apart washed it out thoroughly and let it dry. That was two years ago and it is still working. Oh yeah, it's a cheap $15 belkin.

Yup, it should be fine after you dry it out (thoroughly). I spilled milk in my keyboard, so I cleaned it in the shower. I then blow-dried it with a hair-dryer. It works fine now. Perhaps better, as I cleaned out a bunch of gunk from under the keys.

Oh, and my keyboard is an MS Natural.

the same here, I spilled half a beer in it and some keys stopped working.

took it apart and cleaned it but putting it together was a pain and sometimes some keys stop working........I just turn it upside down and shake it a bit and it works again

Try using some rubbing alcohol to clean it with instead of water. It will be better for the keyboard and it will not take near as long to dry.

I agree, go back to the back up keyboard and let it dry out completely. Don't put in the sun or use hair dryer, just let it dry out naturally. Might take up to a week or so. Once it drys out, it'll work again.
