This happened about 5 days ago, the keyboards been sitting above the radiator facedown on my windowsill since then.

A select few keys still don't work, although it's not as bad as when it first happened, in that they produce a different key to the one pressed. Does this mean the circuitry isnt completely fried as its the same as pressing down on a few keys at once?

Any other ideas?

Take all the keys off and leave it to dry longer :)
 
If you have ever seen how a modern Logitech KB works you will know it willl not dry out without being stripped.

If the same as Logitech KB's I have had you do not need actual remove the keys you press, just the inners.

The Keys contact electrically by 3 sheets of thin plastic, the 2 on the outside like the bread on a sandwich have electrical contacts on them, the sheet in the middle like the cheese has holes in it.

When you press a key it simply presses the top sheet down through the hole in the middle sheet to contact the bottom sheet.

These sheets again are very thin and will have liquid between them, infact it will have stuck them together a bit like a glass when wet on a flat surface,
