Not really. IMO, the best way would be to unplug it immediately, pop off all the keys, dry up what you can with paper towels, and put a fan blowing on the keyboard for long enough for it to dry. Don't tilt the keyboard - you don't want the liquid to get inside.

<-- had a roommate spill a White Russian on his keyboard a few days ago, keyboard = pwnt

if keys don't work, just buy a new one.

Keyboards are too cheap to agonize over. Replace it.

Let it dry. If it still doesn't work, buy a new one.

Let it dry before plugging it back in. If it still doesn't work. You will have to buy a new one.

I spilled soda on my keyboard last year. Some keys didn't work after I shook out the soda and dried it out. I took the keyboard apart and wiped the remnants of the soda out and still it didn't work. I just bought a new one after that ($14.00 plus shipping)

Hi, The replies about letting it dry are right on. After it dries out it should be fine. It may take a really long time to dry out. The fan might be a good idea. Soda pop and coffee are another story. Good Luck, Jim

if you have a keyboard that cost over 50 bucks and you are drinking/eating over it you pretty much get what you deserve.

my roomate spilled beer on mine a few weeks back, it was a wireless logitech, so I took it apart, removing the circuit board where the battery goes and put the rest of the keyboard in the bathtub to get all the nasty beer off of it, then let it dry for a day and it is good as knew now.
