Let it dry. It will work like new. Unless you failed at choosing a Right Keyboard.

A Right Keyboard is defined as a buckling spring keyboard without any multishit functions.

If you use it while it's still wet. Your keyboard is toasted.

It was a standard Microsoft Internet Keyboard (with extra buttons at top). I used it for a few hours after spilling water and then it started getting buggy on me. It's not completely dead but pressing keys makes it go crazy. :( So now I'm using this backup K/b.

On a related note, what's the best way to clean keyboards? E.g. hair, dust, bugs etc, gets between/under the keys.

with most keyboards, you can just pull the keys off and clean the space underneath.

some don't like it when you pull the keys off, and refuse to let the keys back on. YMMV

The best way to clean a keyboard is to take all the keys off and soak it in a tub of water, but don't put soap in.
