just let it dry.. see if it works after it dries..
if not.. try a keyboard cleaner.. take out the buttons and give it a wipe.. or u may be better just buying a cheap one.. u can get em for like 20 bux..

You have 3 options:
1) Disconnect your keyboard. Pop off the keys sticking. Clean underneath them with a mild soap/water mixture using a Q-Tip. Let dry thoroughly. Reconnect.
2) Buy a new one - they're cheap now a days.
3) Just when you've given up hope and are about to throw our your keyboard, try this as a very last resort. Disconnect your keyboard. Holding the cord, dangle your entire keyboard into a mild soap/water mixture and dunk it many times (really). Lots of bits of grime will come out. Let dry very thoroughly - one day or so. Once 100% dry, reconnect and try the keys.
Again, be careful when doing 1 or 3 above to avoid any electrical hazards. When in doubt, just by a new keyboard. Good luck!

Maybe some damp wet wipes. It is possible that you may have some problems later on....it is amazing and frustrating how liquid always gets into the worst places. Good Luck!

The keys sometimes pop off...you have to be very careful though and it might break the key. If it is under warranty, have them send you a new keyboard.

well make sure they still work by pressing down on them a couple of numerous times, then spray windew on a paper towel and wipe down the area.....
