I had a mishap last night and accidentally spilled vodka on the bottom left side of my keyboard. Now, several keys—like Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Ctrl, Windows, and Alt—are sticky and there's definitely some residue causing issues. Sometimes it types on its own with random keys, and my 'A' key isn't working at all. I could really use some advice on how to fix this! I'm using a SteelSeries Pro TKL keyboard.

First things first, you should disconnect the keyboard immediately. Once it's unplugged, open it up if you can, and let it dry out. Cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol (80% or higher) is a great idea because it evaporates quickly and helps remove sticky residues. Just make sure everything is completely dry before plugging it back in. Fingers crossed nothing is permanently damaged!
If you only have 70% isopropyl alcohol and some distilled water, that's okay too! You can use that to clean the keys but it might take a bit longer to dry. Just remember to let it really dry out before reconnecting it to avoid any short circuits!
