throwing coffee onto a keyboard is very common. if you put sugar in your coffee, throw the keyboard away cos it's already dead. If not, you can clean it.

You KNOW I use sugar. Maple syrup, actually. I'm screwed. Thank gawd for the standby wireless keyboard.

As it dries the sugar recrystallizes between the contacts. At best they get flaky, but mostly they're DOA. Sugar/not sugar was the first question we asked when such an incident was reported cos it made such a difference

How about natural sugars? If you spill juice or milk, does it kill the keyboard, too?
