Unplug keyboard, remove keycaps, flush out with IPA (inside the switches too), tip upside down and dab switches with cotton buds to hasten removal/evaporation of IPA, when dried out spray a little squirt of switch cleaning lubricant in the affected switches (the ones you sprayed IPA in), use cotton buds to absorb any excess and finally leave for a short while for that to evaporate. The IPA, switch cleaning lubricant and cotton buds may cost a few quid, but it's a lot cheaper than a new keyboard and they should last awhile unless you're a serial spiller. Alternatively buy some new Cherry MX switches, dismantle your keyboard and replace the dodgy ones.
Oh yeah, switch cleaning lubricant, pick your supplier, I have used Servisol Super 10.

IPA = Indian Pale Ale ? ha...

I'm still wondering how Butter got into the keyboard ? Was it a case of "would you like some toast with you're butter".

The Weird fuild thing has made my brain think all sorts of wrong things !!!

Tap water will leave deposits on the keyboard... Best thing to use is alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol can also leave a residue. That's why its not recommended for cleaning Laser lenses in CD/dvd/blueray players.(However in this case it won't matter)

The OP has actually done the correct thing. We used to get a lot of liquid "damaged" equipment in for repair.

The worst is sugary fizzy pop. However. unplugging it straight away and running it under water to "Fully" clean off any spillage and then, This is the most important bit. LEAVE IT TO FULLY DRY. And there should be no lasting effects.
Unless any damage occurred at the time of the spillage.
