Damaged HyperX alloy core RGB keyboard

Hello!

I accidentally spilled water on my keyboard and somehow forgot that it is spill resistant. So, I stood it against a wall and had the fan heater pointed at it from 6 inches away.
Most of the keys have melted and the keyboard no longer works after plugging into the USB port ( LED lights up though ).

I am absolutely gutted as it cost me £40 and I only bought it two months ago.

Is there anything that I can do or is it detined for the bin ?

I can buy some repalcement keys from ebay/aliexpress and replace the keys but why is the keyboard not working? None of the surviving buttons respond. Surely, if a keybaord is advertised as spill resistant, it should be able to survive a water spill?
