Welcome to TSG!

If you spilled things on your keyboards as often as I do you would have half a dozen sitting around for spare parts!
Maybe you have a friend or a friendly PC store that has an old one sitting around.

My glass of..um water has been known to jump up to 2 feet in order to land on my M$ wave form keyboard!

You might be better off going THIS route.

Good luck.

If you can convince yourself to believe the water part, the jumping part is easy...

I'm not sure of how many keyboards you can do this to but I have a Microsoft keyboard. Once every few months I unplug it and take the screws out from the back and the key part is separate form the electronic part. I wash my keyboard part in warm soapy water and dry it with a hair dryer. Now I know where my hair went and some sandwich parts.

Sorry, i just had to share this. OK, one of my friends was recently borrowing his dads laptop, a pretty nice one too. He was layin on his floor with it and and a coke. He got up and accidentaly hit the coke. It spilled all over the keyboard. It seeped into the entire thing, and i dont think it works anymore. This was probably actually in october i heard about it. I still dont think hes told his dad about it. BTW the guy is only maybe 13 actually, younger than me by a tiny bit.
